Welcome Home Doula Services, Inc

We chose Tina Lyon for our placenta encapsulation. Tina got back to me right away and answered all of my questions. I felt confident in choosing her after touching base with other businesses and doulas. Well she exceeded my expectations. She picked up the placenta within a couple of hours of labor and brought it back to us the very next day! I think she estimated 48 hours ahead of time, so I was extremely pleased to have the product within 24. The pills are odorless and completely easy to swallow. I have been taking them this week and feel wonderfully postpartum. No baby blues and plenty of energy. The placenta prints were absolutely beautiful and those along with the heart keepsake are really wonderful! Thank you Tina for making this process so easy and smooth for us.

Maddy is awesome!
I am so grateful to have had Maddy as my doula for the birth of my second child. She is so knowledgable and personable. She really listened to me and my needs. She was supportive in every way possible.
During my labor and delivery, Maddy was like the voice in the back of my head. She was so encouraging and empowering. With the help, support and encouragement of Maddy and my husband, I was able to have my dream birth. I used water as my pain management, I delivered my daughter in the tub and was able to even catch her myself. I will treasure these memories and Maddy’s help for a lifetime!

As a first-​time dad, Maddy’s presence during the birth of my son a year ago was an absolute life saver.
If I had to choose between the Bradley classes and the doula, I would go with the doula hands down. Not because the classes weren’t useful, but because during the birth most of what I had learned in class vanished into thin air! I was not half as capable and informed as I wanted to be. As our doula, Maddy brought the calm and the experience.
Doctors and nurses walked in and out, changed shifts and answered questions in what I sometimes thought must have been German. Maddy was someone I knew and trusted, having had several prenatal meetings leading up to our due date. She spoke my language and kept me on an even keel, making me a better coach and support for my wife than I would have been without her.
After the birth, she brought us home-​cooked food and talked with us about nursing and feeding. For a young couple without the benefit of family in the area, it was great to have our doula’s advice, her familiarity with local resources, her encouragement and her participation in our birth experience.
We also met Claire who would have served as our back-​up doula. We had a lot of confidence in them both and I fully and unreservedly recommend WHDS to expectant fathers. I can’t speak directly about my wife’s experience but I know she was just as happy with WHDS, and having a consistent ally and guide through the parade of UC Davis students and resident physicians was priceless.
With Maddy’s help, my wife managed the successful vaginal delivery of a sunny-​side-​up, face-​first baby boy, while the doctors prepped for caesarian. The head of obstetrics later told us that she had never seen a successful vaginal delivery with that presentation. Without the presence of our doula, I’m convinced that she still wouldn’t have seen one.
