Customer Reviews
This is needed!
Angel supported my first birth as my doula and was absolutely awesome, especially in equipping me with information and trying to make me feel empowered. Things did not go as planned, but I learned a ton through the experience and am so grateful that Angel is out there educating women (and men) about birth. She is courageous in sharing the truth and the things (most) doctors won’t tell you. I love her approach to birth and bringing controversial topics to light! Thank you for the work you’re doing!
Angel is the best!
Angel could be podcasting about birth, breastfeeding, babies, or anything in between and you bet I’ll be listening!! I follow her on Instagram too and appreciate all the time she puts into making this amazing content for moms.
