The Danish Doula   

"I never dreamed I would birth my baby at home. I also had never met someone so passionate about helping women and babies go through this rewarding experience. Thanks to Majbritt, I was able to engage on this journey with complete faith and support.She kept me calm and relaxed during my labor, and she encouraged me when I felt too weak to continue. I wanted pictures of our son's birth and she captured some remarkable photos for us to remember that day by. I am so thankful Majbritt encouraged me to do what my heart really wanted to do. She didn't give up on me and she helped me overcome my fear of birthing at home by providing me plenty of resources and information. What a beautiful thing labor is! How many women can say that today? I am so glad I can. Thank you, Majbritt!"

"Majbritt was the most amazing addition to our birth entourage! She was an amazing support and comfort from the time she got to our house pre-hospital, through the time she stayed with me after delivery. Not sure how 'the husband' would take to the labor process; she was a gentle guide for him to be present with me, while at the same time being there for me as I needed her. The service she provided was more than worth it! She meets you on mutiple occassions pre-birth and a week postpartum; it truly makes a difference having a supportve woman by your side that you're not only comfortable with, but that is also knowledgable about the birth process. Mostly, her being there made me feel safe, which if you're about to give birth, you'll find this is one of the most important things in giving birth. To top is off, she took the most amazing pictures for us during the actual birth. You can't go wrong."

"Until I met Majbritt, I was unsure how I was going to cope with the pain and anxiety of a natural labor and delivery. She was by my side for 16 hours, and at the onset of each contraction she applied counterpressure to my back to ease my back labor, and she gently reassured me that I was doing what I needed to do. She and my husband worked as a team to provide unwavering support for me, allowing me to focus solely on the contractions while they tended to my needs. At one point I was unsure if I could go on, and she reminded me to take a breath and stay on top of the contractions, which seems so simple but was exactly what I needed to hear at that moment. She told me I could handle the labor, that nothing that was happening was too big, too intense, or too painful for what my body and my mind could handle. And she was right! After sixteen hours of labor and about 15 minutes of pushing, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world. I feel eternally grateful to Majbritt for the gift she gave to my family."

"I wanted to have a natural delivery with my first, but wasn't very successful, as my husband and I had no idea what we were doing! So at my second birth I was determined, and that's where Majbritt came in! Thank goodness for her, she was a Godsend! She knew my wants and needs and made my birth successful! I know for a fact if she hadn't been there to help me convey to the doctor and nurses what I wanted and keep me focused I never would have been able to have a natural birth. My husband and I are so thankful to have met Majbritt! She truly made me feel like super woman getting through my birth! Thanks for all your help."

"After several pregnancy books described doulas and their services, I decided to look into local doulas. I spoke with my husband and we agreed that if we could find the right person, a doula would be a valuable asset during delivery. My husband and I are both very analytical, sometimes overly rational and logical people. We knew that labor could be anything but rational and logical, and it was important to us to have someone on “our side” who could help us make decisions in the heat of the moment. Plus, we both thought it was good to have someone hired by us specifically for us since this would be our first child and our first time navigating the waters of a hospital delivery room. The decision to hire a doula was one of the best ideas I’ve ever made, and I will encourage others to consider the same option in the future. When I spoke with Majbritt on the phone, I was very impressed with her ability to listen and her willingness to help me make informed choices. She did not push any agenda of her own on me, and she was very thorough in both of the prenatal interviews. On our delivery day, Majbritt was absolutely awesome. She talked me through contractions, guided my husband to help me, and worked seamlessly with the hospital staff. She took some pictures of the delivery and wrote a beautiful birth story, all of which will be treasured by me forever. In the postpartum weeks, Majbritt was helpful in adjusting to life with a newborn and was a listening ear when I ran into some mild postpartum depression. I am so grateful for her presence in every aspect of my son’s birth and infancy."

"We are so grateful for your presence and guidance during the labor and delivery of our grandson. Even though it was a long and arduous time for us all, your calm presence made it go so much more smoothly than if you had not been with them. Thank you for your timely updates on how things were going. We are all most appreciative."

"Both my husband and I felt so grateful that Majbritt was present for the birth of our daughter. We both expressed how we never could have done it with out her support. I needed a lot of support when I was in the transition phase for hours and it was very hard for me to find my rhythm, but Majbritt was so skilled at helping me focus and get through each contraction, and most importantly, she helped my husband help me. It was so nice having so much support and comfort during my labor. Although the birth did not go as planned, I am so glad we had Majbritt with us. It was so nice having a support person in the recovery room after my c-section so that my husband could remain with our baby in the nursery.
We can't thank Majbritt enough for her help."

"The experience of a natural childbirth is a miracle beyond words! How can I ever thank you for being there with us for the birth of our daughter? You were there to keep me focused and in control. I don’t normally handle pain very well and I don’t consider myself a “strong” person. The smallest splinter can bring tears to my eyes, so the thought of natural childbirth did not seem like a possibility to me….until now! Without your encouragement and support, we would have had an entirely different experience. I’m already thinking about doing it again!
Thank you for everything."

"Your support was intuitive yet unobtrusive. John never felt pushed aside, quite the contrary, we both really appreciated your gentle suggestions on how he could best support me during the birth. I only wish that you'd been there for my first birth! I really felt well supported and understood which was so important to me in creating the kind of birth that I wanted.
Thank you so much."

"Thanks for being the most wonderful doula. My Mom and Dad couldn't have done it without you. They appreciate all the love and support you provided."
