Testimonials

 Blythe is a great doula, I would highly recommend her to anyone. Blythe helped me achieve the natural birth that I wanted. Blythe truly has a gift for helping laboring mothers.My husband called Blythe when my water broke and she came right to our home and helped me through my labor until we felt I was ready to go to the hospital. Once at the hospital she continued to be a major support for us. She knew many different birthing positions to help move my beautiful baby down and dilate me faster. Blythe was not only a support for me but also for my husband, she showed him ways he could help ease my discomforts. If it was not for Blythe and all of her support I really don't think I would have achieved the birth I wanted. Blythe takes her calling very seriously, she is extremely professional and disaplined. Before attending my birth she was up all night supporting another laboring mother at the same hospital. The fact that she was up the entire night before did not stop her from being there for my husband and I when we needed her. This was our first birth and she knew how important it was for my husband and I to stick to our birth plan and that's exactly what she helped us achieve. I can not say enough great things about her. I am so glad my husband and I chose Blythe to share in the best day of our lives so far.  

 Blythe was such a great support for both my husband and myself. Being first time parents, we didn't know what to expect with the labor, delivery, and also pregnancy. Blythe was a great support not only for me, but also for my husband. She helped him help me. She knew what I needed without me having to ask for it, which is great when you are having a large contraction and really can't speak but need some water or other substinence to help you. She was always at our disposal during the pregnancy and I always was able to contact her if I had a question or concern. Blythe is very educated and informed on a lot of alternative homeopathic natural methods for pregnancy and labor/child birth. I loved the vitamin testing she performed on me while pregnant. Helped me know which vitamin(s) I was defiecient in so I could supplement those and be at my healthiest while pregnant. She has a large access of literature for her clients if you need more research on vaccinations, circumcision, natural childbirth, breast feeding, etc. She helped us with our birthplan so when it came time for labor and birth our wishes were upheld at the birthing center with the other medical staff. We had a natural water birth, and it truely was a wonderful experience for myself as well as my husband. Blythe is very experienced in water and natural births as well as non natural births and more conventional births. She is very diverse and can help facilitate any type of pregnancy/labor/birth go smoothly. Blythe also encapsulated my placenta for me into vitamin form. I recommend this to all of  her clients. Really helps with hormones, energy, milk production, protein for me, etc. The capsules do not have a smell or taste, and I take them with my other vitamins. She also provided us with exercises we could do while I was pregnant for pelvic stretching, back lengthning, as well as helping fetus drop into ideal position making delivery easier. Most importantly, she provides peace of mind 

 I was initially on the fence about paying a doula. Then acquaintances convinced me that a quality doula is priceless and worth so much more than the modest fees they charge. I interviewed two doulas. Blythe was very enthusiastically recommended to me by a mom she had recently served.As soon as I met with Blythe, I knew I wanted her to be with my husband and me during our son's birth. I could tell right away that she was someone I would want to for a friend, and it's so important to have a doula who clicks with you. Blythe is professional, but in the most comfortable, personal way. She's a beautiful soul and fit perfectly with the peaceful, relaxed natural birth we wanted. All the services she's capable of are optional- she offered many choices and happily customized her service to include the aspects that we liked. Once I hired her, she was always there if I wanted to call, text or email about anything. When I was a week and a half overdue, she gave me a reflexology session and I went into labor that night.Blythe met us at my friend's house where we spent early labor because of its proximity to the hospital where I was delivering. This was my first baby and she helped confirm that I was in active labor, explained things as they happened and gave me an idea of what to expect. She helped me decide when to go to the hospital and it was perfect - less than three hours at the hospital and my son was born. She questioned the nurses for me when they wanted to keep me on my back. Blythe did a great job of being there when we needed her and fading into the background when my husband and I were having our moments together. The three of us were an excellent team and I'm so thankful that I had her there. After my son was born (at 2:59 a.m.), she offered to go get us breakfast. My husband wanted to get out so she stayed with me instead while he went.I would recommend Blythe to anyone considering a doula and would recommend a doula to everyone! 

 Blythe is a phenomenal doula.  She was my doula for the birth of my second child.  We had planned a homebirth and had a lovely time laboring at home.  I could feel her pouring good energy and love into my body during every contraction.  Her kind words, gentle touches and peaceful presence were such a contribution to the whole experience.  When things turned course and we ended up rushing to the hospital, I could not have been more grateful to have Blythe there.  She held my hand and talked me through all of the procedures and adjustments that needed to be done.  She stayed with our family well after the birth of our baby and helped us all to adjust to our new surroundings and unexpected birth experience.  Blythe is a loving, generous, and kind soul and you can feel every bit of that when she is with you.  She came to check on us a day later to make sure we were doing well.  Her home visit a week or so later was so special.  Our new daughter and I felt so cared for and appreciated.When Blythe is working as a doula by your side, you can truly feel that it is her calling to work with women and babies.  How did I get so lucky to have her be a part of my second birth?  I am so grateful.  

 My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with our decision to hire Blythe as our doula for the homebirth of our first child. Blythe offers so much more to her clients than a "typical" doula.I was very impressed by her use of muscle testing and her knowledge of homepathic remedies and essential oils. She was extremely thorough during prenatal appointments and available to answer any questions in between.During our homebirth, she was supportive both physically (by administering herbal remedies, offering food/drink, helping with the birth pool, etc.) and emotionally (by being fully and lovingly present, offering encouraging words, etc.).I would highly recommend hiring Blythe Hughes for your upcoming birth and beyond!Health, happiness... XOXO! 

 We LOVE Blythe!! I almost want to have another baby quicker, so we can spend time with her!! I came into the game late, and started searching for a doula about 1 month before my due date. Blythe was great and made the effort to travel to me for our initial meetings. She answered all of my and my husband's questions and make us feel very 'in control' of our birthing experience.During labor/delivery she was calm and very helpful when it came to making decisions due to a complicated labor. I am 100% certain that had Blythe NOT been with us, that my midwife would have been suggesting a C-Section, or medical intervention.I would HIGHLY recommend Blythe, and look forward to using her again with Baby #2!!
