Margaret Byrne,
We couldn’t have asked for a better doula than Margaret for the birth of our first child. She was wonderful in helping us prepare a birth plan and figure out what we wanted from the birth experience.
During labor she worked tirelessly as a support, a medical advocate, and even a masseuse to ensure that our plan was followed. Her wealth of experience doing births in the area definitely came in handy at the hospital where she personally knew the midwife on call. When pain management became an issue, she was able to walk us through options and positions that ensured we had minimal

What an amazing experience i had with Margaret! I had a birth i was praying for and without her being there for me it wouldn't be possible. She was able to advocate for me, since my husband wasn't allowed at the hospital, she massaged me, encouraged me, provided me with the vital information that protected my baby from unnecessary harm. What an amazing experience i had! The labor lasted 5 hours, 15 min of pushing, no intervention of any kind and no tearing! The baby is healthy and so am I.
I would highly recommend Margaret. She was calm, knowledgeable, professional, collect and

Margaret was amazing! We had a fairly complicated set of health concerns going into the birth of our second child and Margaret with her background as a midwife and just experience in general kept a calm demeanor throughout it all. This delivery for us was a VBAC and required an induction which was intense... so very much a first labor experience for us. We would have never made it through to the end without her help. She is the perfect mixture between knowing what you need just as you need it, knowing what comes next in the labor process and yet keeping a low key and calming/confident presence

Margaret was a god-send. I don't know how my husband and I could have gotten through our birth experience without her. From my many prenatal questions to early postpartum support, Margaret was a treasure throughout the entire birth experience. I could not have asked for a better doula for my first birth. She was respectful and compassionate of my and my husband's hopes and fears, and dealt well with the staff of the hospital we birthed at. I'd highly recommend her!

When my husband and I set out to hire a doula, we could not have imagined we would find one we truly connected with like we did with Margaret. From the first conversation to months after birth, Margaret has been supportive and helpful with every little challenge. As first time parents, the transition was scary and exciting. Margaret used a judgement free approach, and helped us achieve the exact labor and birth we wanted. Margaret did not "take over" as my support person during birth. Instead, she was able to help my husband support me. He was skeptical about our need for a doula, and has now expressed

I can't imagine how I would have gotten through my labor without Margaret. Working with her was honestly the best decision I made during my pregnancy! She was such a calming presence throughout the labor process and I felt so cared for in her experienced hands. I spoke with 3 or 4 other doulas during my search, but 5 minutes into the conversation with Margaret, I knew she was the one! I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in a doula and will definitely be using her again if we have another baby. THANK YOU, Margaret!

Everyone should have a Margaret at their birth! Margaret was very calm and that was what we needed most. She made me and my husband feel completely at ease. Margaret knew what to do every step of the way. She made helpful recommendations during pregnancy to keep me healthy. She helped us through labor, giving me tips on how to cope at different stages — even helping us by phone at all hours of the night. She guided us every step of the way through delivery: her knowledge of when and how to breathe, move, stand, and push made things go more smoothly, and her massage techniques to put pressure

When my husband and I found out we were pregnant, we knew we wanted to hire a doula. We had no idea how thankful we would be for making that decision. I cannot imagine going through the birthing process without Margaret's support. After not going into labor on my own, I chose to induce at 42 weeks. I had no idea that an induction could last for days. Margaret was with us every step of the way. With the induction, we had a lot of decisions to make. Margaret was there for my husband and I to ask any questions about the different choices and help us make the best decisions for our birth. Margaret

Margaret was my doula during my birth of son in January 2016. I really didn't know what to expect during my birth and was attempting a birth without the use of an epidural, although I was not opposed to its use if it came down to it. When my water broke at home and I went into labor, Margaret kept in close contact with me and gave me support during the early progress. She met me at the hospital when we arrived to check in. It was so wonderful to have have someone with me and my husband during the whole labor process. She helped with pain by applying pressure and coaching me with deep breathing

"The best choice we made with our labor and delivery was hiring Margaret. We cannot say enough great things about her. As first time parents, we had no idea what we were about to go through. Margaret helped us so very much all along the way. We met with her a few times throughout my pregnancy and I treated myself to one of her prenatal massages. She was kind, thoughtful, and professional throughout. We connected in a very special way that made me feel more calm and excited about my birth experience. The prenatal massage was perfect, she knows exactly what pregnant women's bodies need to be soothed
