Business Details

Mara was absolutely wonderful both as my prenatal yoga instructor and in helping me care for my baby as an infant. She is an extraordinarily kind and gentle person with an amazing work ethic. She has a wonderful awareness of how to make life better and easier for people, and is very much dedicated to this. One of the key things that distinguishes Mara from many others, is that she really takes initiative. When she worked with us in our home, there were so many times she would go beyond the call of duty and do things not because I asked her to, but because she thought it would be helpful. Mara works very hard and very efficiently, and she won't leave a moment to spare. Not only did I feel that my baby was getting excellent and loving care, but with Mara's help, the house seemed to run more smoothly and efficiently than ever!

Mara has calming strength, a loving soul and a warm spirit. She is grounded, clear minded, an intent listener, intuitive and was fully focused on our birth. We feel blessed to have brought our Daughter into this world with Mara as our Doula. Our decision to work with a Doula was only made after a few months of contemplating the necessity. My husband was not as convinced as I was. Now, post birth, both of us feel equally positive that our decision was not only the right one but enhanced our birthing experience. Mara is amazing! We have only glowing words of praise about her as a Woman and Doula.

We used Mara as a doula and she was excellent - very present throughout the delivery, great support, very helpful with back pain as I experienced back labor. Her experience as a yoga teacher is very useful in labor. I would definitely recommend her.

My husband and I worked with Mara for the birth of our daughter. She was professional from day one. She was sincere and listened to all of our needs and concerns. During the birth we felt completely at ease knowing that she was there and completely supportive. My husband feels strongly that she was the best decision we made involving the birth of our daughter. Having a doula present is like having an advocate there for you, someone to comfort you and keep you focused.
We also hired Mara to do some post-birth doula work helping me around the house and with the baby. She was again completely professional and amazingly helpful.
Before having our baby my husband and I took a prenatal yoga class with Mara which was extremely useful. We learned alot of great techniques for pain relief (during pregnancy and labor) and stretches to ease muscle discomfort.
I feel that her background in yoga is extremely helpful and complementary to her doula work. She is a gentle and gifted person that I would feel completely comfortable working with again.
