"I cannot recommend Denise enough for her postpartum doula services. She is such a joy to have in the home during such a vulnerable time. She is full of so much knowledge and helpful tips and even as a second time mom she gave me the confidence boost I needed when things got tough. Her cooking is delicious and her baby calming skills are second to none. Would absolutely bring her on again as part of my postpartum support team."

"I am so thankful for the invaluable teachings and information I received in the weekend child labor class I did with Denise. Wow! So helpful! Such good access to resources! She is so knowledgeable on child birth and completely calmed my nerves and anxiety before the birth of my baby.
Life was so busy for me the year I was pregnant with school and work obligations that I had absolutely no time to "prepare" for pregnancy or to read a book. Nevertheless I understood the importance of being equipped with knowledge but never felt I had enough time with my ob doctor in a brief doctors appt on "what to expect when you're expecting". So when I heard about Denise Curtis's labor class on a weekend, I eagerly signed up and so glad I did.
The weekend long group class was super helpful, full of a wealth of information, well organized and illustrated, and engaging
I continue to use the color printed handouts and resources for information .
I highly recommend it to all my pregnant friends and colleagues , especially if you need a concise but comprehensive course on child birth .... Perfect for busy expecting moms who want a crash course on child birth. Highly recommend"

"Denise was with us before, during, and after my wife's pregnancy. I could not have imagined this experience without her. The combination of expertise and emotional support was everything for my wife and I. We trust her like family!"

"We loved Denise! We did a 2 day childbirth education class. She came to our house and taught us everything from comfort measures to labor positions to breastfeeding basics. I was definitely scared of the delivery process before the class but now I feel super excited. My husband is also very excited to advocate for me and feels more prepared in supporting me through labor. Thank you Denise!"

"Denise was AMAZING. She came to our house to teach us the infant care class, and made the whole process so easy and painless. Pregnancy and getting ready to care for a human is so overwhelming, and Denise made all of this so much less scary and daunting. She's super knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, and brought a doll and props to literally give us hands on experience. Also, her classes are very reasonably priced based on the level of service you get -- and the access to her other recourses too. Will 100% work with Denise again!"

"My husband and I took Denise's child birthing course and it was awesome! She came to our house and sharing a TON of great info with us that was helpful. She's very sweet and makes you feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend!"

"Denise is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were looking for a private birthing class that would get us ready but that was also geared towards the type of birth we are looking to have. Most of the classes I've seen are for natural births so finding someone to help us prepare for a birth with an epidural was amazing.
I ended up having a private 4 hour session (broken up into two parts) with Denise here at my house. Denise is so knowledgeable and just all around awesome. she presented in an engaging way without being too much like a seminar. She teaches a science-based course that's based on her real-life experiences as a birthing doula.
All and all, It was amazing for me and my husband! I was able to interrupt and ask questions that were unique to us and she was able to skip over stuff that wasn't right for us/we already knew. And it was super reasonable. And she gave us lots of useful handouts too plus access to lots of amazing resources.
Hire her! You won't regret it!"

"Denise was professional and prompt. Communication is top notch with allowance to ask questions on days she didn't work. We are very happy we hired Denise as a Postpartum doula because when we left the hospital, we were pretty lost and had a hard time understanding our daughter's needs. She came in, took over and allowed us to take a much needed nap. Days following she showed us how to soothe our daughter, assisted with breastfeeding, and taught us how to bathe our daughter. Sadly all this sounds simple and should be so easy, but I assure you tiny mistakes make big explosions and a lot of crying (on all sides).
Thank you so much for assisting our family on how to function. Without your guidance I fear there would be a lot less sleep and more screams."

"Denise is great. She was informative and had lots of literature for us to borrow to read. She was ready to roll the second we asked her to come to the hospital. There she stayed until our baby girl was delivered 15 hours later. While there she was an amazing support and great advocate for our birth plan. Totally recommend."

"Denise was my postpartum doula and was such a joy to have with my newborn for the first 4 weeks. As a first time mother, I was extremely nervous about my postpartum care and how to take care of an infant. Denise was so helpful on things we should do, products we might like, and general questions we had around sleeping, breastfeeding, and feeding the baby. I appreciated her weekly check-in's pre-baby and overall organization. She was a welcome relief in the morning after long nights with the baby. I can't recommend her enough!"
