“Toni helps empower you to make the best decision for you without any judgement!!

Toni was a wealth of knowledge during our prenatal visits/ discussions. She knows what she is doing! She brings such a calmness to the birth and the birth space. We did a hospital birth, but she made it feel much cozier! She helped my husband support me through the birth. I cannot say enough good things about Toni! She is also just pleasant and a cool person to be around! She will certainly be apart of any future births!”

“She has a passion for coaching and supporting women in their most vulnerable moments.

Toni was wonderful throughout prenatal care and my labor/delivery. My husband was deployed so having Toni step in to be my support was wonderful! She took me through various positions and reminded me to breathe which was so helpful because when in labor the last thing I wanted to do was to think of what to do next. She was encouraging and was awake with me the whole time. She truly felt like part of the family.”

- Mariah S.

“I could never thank her enough for her support and impact on my birth experience.

This was my second unmedicated birth and it was a much better experience having Toni by my side. I knew that my preferences and wishes would be advocated for. When contractions were difficult Toni helped guide me through each one with breathing coaching and helping encourage me to get in different positions and break for water. I cannot say enough good things about Toni.”

- Rachel B.

“I now tell everyone I know who’s pregnant to hire Toni!!

I truly believe that I would not have gotten my VBAC had I not had her by my side! She knew exactly what my body was doing and how I needed to move to help baby move down. She was one step ahead the whole time and knew what I needed. She was encouraging the entire time and after my baby girl was born my husband said “Toni’s my best friend now"! She kept him calm, made sure he ate and drank water and somehow knew everyone’s needs! She’s amazing!”
