As a first time mom, I had so many hopes, questions, and uncertainties about childbirth. Thanks to Candice’s support I was able to have the birth that I wanted. From the very beginning, Candice brought so much expertise and warmth to my pregnancy journey. She answered every question with care, educated me on my options, and made sure that I felt empowered every step of the way. Her passion for birth work is undeniable, and it shines though in everything she does. Having her in the room during labor was one of the best decisions we made. Her calm confident presence created a space where my husband and mom could fully experience the uniqueness of the moment without having to worry about logistics and safety. Candice allowed them to be emotionally present while ensuring that both my daughter and I were safe, supported, and cared for throughout delivery. Candice is truly a gift to any birthing family. If you’re looking for someone who is not only deeply knowledgeable but also deeply invested in your well-being and your birth experience Candice is your girl! I am forever grateful for her support and 6 years later, her friendship!

Candice was heaven sent! I am a first time mom and planned an unmedicated birth. From the initial consult to the delivery and post partum Candice has held my hand and walked me and my husband through every step. She is one text away at all times; always answering the million questions of a first time nervous mom. Communication is open and nonjudgmental. Her goal is to aid you in the experience you desire and deserve. As a nurse I strongly believe in EBP and she was constantly sending me articles/studies supporting any and all topics discussed. She has a gentle, yet empowering touch that eases anxiety and provides support at every turn. My labor didn’t go as planned and ultimately ended up with a c-section after hours of labor , but Candice was right there at every pivot making sure my husband and I had the support needed to navigate the uncertainty of bringing a baby earth side. I could not imagine my birth experience without her! If you are looking for someone who feels like family and will be with you through every step—Candice is your doula!
