FROM MOMS

"Gracie was by my side, not afraid of my mysterious pain, and possessed with a sisterly wisdom that helped me endure it; and I was able, with that, to cross over and push push push into motherhood."

"You were so available when I needed you--through email or phone calls or visits, staying with us at the hospital the entire time--it was so wonderful!"

"Gracie calmed me down during contractions and decision making.  She was amazing support for my husband during labor and the surgery...I think we would have felt lost and frustrated without her guidance."

"Hiring you was the best decision we have ever made.  I really don't know what we would have done without you."

FROM DADS

"To say that Gracie 'was a big help' is an understatement.  Simply put, without her we would not have had the amazing experience that we did and my wife more than likely would have had a much more difficult labor.  Gracie was fully present, in mind, body, and spirit, helping and supporting us at every stage of the labor and birth process. "

"Your presence, knowledge, sense of humor, and gentle loving touch were so helpful."

"You adapted well to our personalities and our needs, kept a cool head during all the changes for us, helping to keep us emotionally sound throughout."
