Delilah, it’s so beautiful, having a child of my own… to be a mama is such an honor and deep joy. I love watching her come into her own… I remember when you came over to see how I was doing and how being a mama was going for me, and I remember crying. I…
Delilah, We are so thankful you were a part of Colby’s birth, as we couldn’t have done it without you. From our very first conversation to the day of delivery, you brought so much knowledge and comfort to the pregnancy, labor and birth. You are amazing at what you do and a true blessing to…
“Delilah was extremely helpful before and during labor. She kept my expectations realistic beforehand. During labor, she helped provide both physical and emotional support that was crucial to our success in achieving a natural birth. She helped me last through a very long 48 hour labor, 10 hours of which was in the hospital. I…
Hiring Delilah was the best decision I made for my pregnancy. Having a doula was so much more than just about the day of birth. One of the most invaluable things Delilah did for me right away was help me think about assembling the best birth team to have the best chances to achieve everything…
We had our first baby with an OB and an epidural. I was determined to have our #2 baby as natural as possible. My husband, very hesitantly, agreed to try a natural birth and decided that, if we weren’t paying for an epidural, we would need to pay for a doula. Delilah was recommended to us through…
“Mike and I just wanted to say that your class was absolutely amazing and you are a delight and so wonderful! We learned so much and would recommend your class to any couple, going natural or not. We feel so much better prepared. I am also so happy that we are going to find a birth center and not go to [the…
“I got so much more out of the class than what I expected. Delilah made it so much fun, and so exciting, I’d even take it again! This class alleviated my fears and gave me all the information I needed. It was worth more than its weight in gold. I think everyone should take it,…
I’m a pretty independent woman. With the right research and preparation, I’m not afraid to tackle anything, and I likely won’t ask for help. That’s the same attitude I had going into childbirth. I knew that I wanted a natural birth due to my research on interventions, and I’d read a couple of books in…
Delilah Ray is the best doula. I have had the privilege of having her at three of my births. My daughter Sarah was running late, and it was hard to hold the course since she was my VBA2C, and first natural birth. Delilah was my rock, and kept me built up and encouraged, and even laughing! …
Having a VBAC was definitely a scary thought… but I knew in my heart that I was not going to have another doctor tell me what my body could do! Not saying a natural birth was easy, but I can honestly say that without Delilah’s constant encouragement and support for both my husband and me…
Delilah has been my doula for 3 births, and I only wish I had known her for my first two as well!! She was instrumental in guiding and preparing my husband and myself for our first natural and med free hospital birth, and then our 2 additional unmedicated hospital water births! She is wonderful at reading a laboring…
My first birth ended in an emergency c-section and was a horrible experience. When I got pregnant the second time I knew I wanted things to be very different. The very first time I spoke with Delilah we spoke for over an hour and I instantly felt at ease and that I was talking…
Delilah provides a vast knowledge of the birth experience, whether you’re choosing the traditional hospital route or having your baby at home; her experience is immeasurable. The loving, supportive guidance she provides adds a level of peace and extra joy to your miraculous journey. Delilah held my hand at all the right times, giving me…
Delilah’s knowledge is unsurpassed, and her sense of humor made us feel at home during what could be a stressful time! Through her “boot camp” style class, she empowered us to seek and ultimately have the natural childbirth we desired. While I felt more prepared about what would be happening in the coming weeks, it…
July 2013 I gave birth to my first child – a son! I can truly say that I look back on my labor and delivery with such fondness. It was a joyful, beautiful day! My desire was to have a natural child birth, vaginal delivery – and I did!! I believe that the outcome of that…
I will say this – I was a non-believer in the all natural way of birth and figured that heath decisions were best left to the hospitals and their staff (even though the decisions were about me or my family) without my input. However, at the urging of my wife, I gave up a few…
