Having Cass as our doula was the most valuable thing that we invested in for my pregnancy, labor, and birth. From our first consultation, we knew she would be a great fit because of her warmth and knowledge she brought to every detail.
As first-time parents, there’s no way to fully be prepared for birth, but Cass was exceptional in getting us ready so that I felt confident in every decision point at the hospital.
Leading up to the birth, she brought over materials to inform and prepare us about early labor, transitioning to active labor, how the baby needs to move into position during labor, and how certain movements we could do at home in the last few weeks could help that. She was on call the last two weeks before I gave birth and responded quickly to all of my questions. I went in and out of early labor for a week and I think if we did not talk to Cass, we would’ve gone to the hospital early and possibly gotten into a situation where we forced the birth to happen before my body was ready.
When the day finally came, Cass was ready and met us at the hospital as soon as we requested her. She led us through specific movements that helped the baby move in place and also help my contractions to continue at a good rhythm. Because she was there, I think the hospital staff felt more comfortable being hands off with us and only came in if the heartbeat monitor got disconnected or if I needed to be checked.
Cass provided so much guidance and reassurance literally every step of the way for 24 hours of labor. I am left with an overall positive birth experience and I’m confident that things would’ve gone very differently had she not been there.
I can’t recommend her enough!

Words can't really describe how it feels to feel so supported by Cassidy during the most vulnerable and intense moment of my life.
We clicked right away and I loved how she kept it real, but also was sweet and nurturing. She’s an incredible listener.
We game-planned my birth and met three times prior to labor. When I went into labor she showed up at my house and had many tricks to help me feel as relaxed as possible. I had an extremely long and hard labor and she did not waiver for one moment. Her and my husband traded off helping to sooth my back pain during contractions.
She helped advocate for me and allowed me to soften when I needed to and push when I needed the strength. She knows what she's doing and I'll never forget how lucky I was to have her.

It’s hard to convey what an overwhelmingly positive impact Cassidy had on my labor. Originally I thought that after all the classes and research I didn’t need a doula (oh how wrong I was!) but luckily at 38 weeks, I started to feel like more support might be beneficial. I interviewed a few doulas but didn’t click with any of them, until two friends separately recommended Cassidy. One call with my husband and I, and we knew we’d found our doula! Cassidy was very kind, sweet, nurturing but at the same time assertive and confident in her skills, exactly what I needed.
I was planning to give birth naturally at the hospital, so my concern was about managing the hospital protocols and interventions. When my labor started, Cassidy came early to Cedars-Sinai and was there by my side for the entire 22 hours. She created a powerful team with my husband and together they provided the unwavering support that I needed.
Cassidy won the confidence of the hospital staff and my doctor, and this reassured them to have the patience to allow me to stay on my natural birth plan. I highly recommend Cassidy to anyone thinking about using a doula. You’ll get a friend who will be supporting you through it all, no matter how long it takes, no matter how hard it gets. My birth story ended up being on my terms simply because I had the best team. I’m forever grateful for Cassidy, who will forever be a huge part of bringing me my healthy happy baby girl.

Cassidy helped support the birth of our second child in June of 2024. She was a calming presence and also provided excellent physical support when I hit transition. She helped keep my husband and I focused when things got a bit concerning and ultimately we were able to have a beautiful vaginal birth and a healthy baby boy.
Cassidy was excellent with communication throughout my pregnancy as well. I was able to text her when labor began and she intuitively knew when it was time to join us.
I would definitely recommend Cassidy to any family who is looking for a doula who is practical and logical while also supporting the trust and intuition in the body’s ability to do amazing things during birth. Cassidy is a supportive and calming presence and she was a valued part of our birth experience.

If you're looking for a person to come alongside you who is so kind, knowledgeable, patient, and supportive and who will advocate for you, Cassidy is your doula.
She was helpful with teaching us information about the birth process and assisted us with stretching and ways to support us through the laboring process. We loved her approach and how she wants to learn about you and what you want your birth to be like—and will advocate for that.
We know things don't go as planned sometimes, and even after us deciding to have a c-section while at the hospital, she was still present for us and our son.
It was so helpful having Cassidy for support and made the whole experience so enjoyable as first time parents!! I think the extra support, advocacy and love in the room really made a huge difference.

I can't say enough amazing things about Cass!! As a doula myself I knew I was looking for someone special for my 3rd and final baby. I needed someone who could let me lead but know when to step in and take over. She immediately made me feel comfortable from the moment we met on FaceTime and was exactly what my husband and I needed every moment of the labor! She is kind, knowledgeable, intuitive, respectful, and fun! I would recommend Cass to anyone looking for a doula!
