What Families Are Saying

“Keigha’s intuitive words were honestly what refocused my mind and she knew just what to say to help me deliver my baby smoothly.“

“As my doula, Keigha made me feel like I was always a priority, and made every effort to meet me where I was (both physical and mentally), and was patient with answering questions and providing resources.“

“She helped me with position changes, kept me and my husband calm, and provided incredible hands-on support. Her presence during labor was grounding and comforting, especially during moments that felt overwhelming.”

Cawnawyn – “I am so grateful that Keigha was my doula for my first birth. Leading up to the big day, she was so supportive and encouraging and helped me feel confident things would go well. Most of my labor took place at home and she was by my side throughout all of it; using her essential oils and calming presence to help me through the sensations as it became more intense. She was also an enormous help to my husband, who was reassured by her confidence and grounded demeanor. When it finally came time to push at the birth center, I had incredibly painful back labor in the tub and was not sure I could withstand the pain. Keigha’s intuitive words were honestly what refocused my mind and she knew just what to say to help me deliver my baby smoothly. We are so grateful to her for helping us have a successful water birth for our child, and for everything she has done to support our family.”

Christina–“Keigha was responsive, flexible, and incredibly empathetic. I utilized Keigha’s services as a doula and her placenta encapsulation, and I was extremely happy with both. As my doula, Keigha made me feel like I was always a priority, and made every effort to meet me where I was (both physical and mentally), and was patient with answering questions and providing resources. I was impressed with her knowledge of the hospital I was delivering at, and her quick facility with managing all the delivery details when the day came. Having her at my delivery was such a positive experience, and I wish that every other laboring mother could have as positive of an experience as I got to have. The placenta encapsulation was smooth and seamless, and Keigha made sure that I had the planceta pills in a very timely manner. They have made a huge difference in my postpartum recovery. I have been so grateful to have Keigha as my doula, and even bigger kudos to her for navigating all the challenges of tricare insurance and ensuring that I wouldn’t have to worry about it.“

Mayette – “Having Keigha as our doula was 100% the right call! My husband and I had our heart and mind set on an unmedicated hospital birth and Keigha incredibly helped us throughout the whole journey – from pregnancy to postpartum. During our first meeting, I knew she was the right person to support me and my husband during our first baby’s birth. I’ve never met someone with a more calming presence! She was deeply attentive, always helping us understand what we wanted and guiding us with clarity, care, and respect. She took the time to truly understand our needs, preferences, and concerns, and she consistently made us feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the entire process. My husband and I felt completely supported physically, emotionally, and mentally because of Keigha. She helped me with position changes, kept me and my husband calm, and provided incredible hands-on support. Her presence during labor was grounding and comforting, especially during moments that felt overwhelming. There were moments when I felt that the progression of my labor was too slow but Keigha reassured us that everything was normal and as expected. We are incredibly grateful for her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a doula who is skilled, trustworthy, and truly exceptional at what she does. She also encapsulated my placenta and gave us the placenta print on acid free paper and a cord keepsake. We truly would not have been able to manage this major life change without her support. She was a vital part of my birth team!”

      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Keigha as an our Doula and she was amazing. In prenatal, during and postpartum. Almost nothing went as we wanted during the delivery (birth house, no drugs etc…) but due to circumstances out of our control we had to change everything and she helped us roll with the punches the entire way. She was very knowledgeable and kept us both calm during the process , telling us the best places to go and why. She assured me that the complications were normal and what to expect in the operating room. I will recommend her to anyone that will listen. Truly the best we could have asked for!

At times I was struggling to speak for myself when the doctors or nurses would enter, she would advocate for me to what I would want because I already went through my birth plan with her. When I had contractions, she also helped massage my back! When baby wasn’t coming down closer to pushing time, she had me and my husband do a few exercises to help do that and it worked right away! I highly recommend her!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was such a pleasure to work with Keigha! I really appreciated the support and education throughout the process. I felt very accomplished being able to have more control over my overall experience of pregnancy, birth and laboring. Keigha helped educate and support me to advocate for myself into having the birth I wanted (which became a very ideal one) low intervention, birthing on my own time, mostly unmedicated. Keigha was there every step of the way :)

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Keigha enough. We had several meetings ahead of delivery to discuss what the process would look like, as well as things to look for post partum. When it came to the actual delivery, she stood right by me and my husband for hours on end as I managed a grueling labor and helped advocate and motivate at the right times. She is a calm, kind, and thoughtful presence and we are so glad we had her for the birth of our son. Will definitely reach out again for baby #2!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Keigha as a part of your birth team whether at the hospital or at home. She was incredibly helpful and supportive. Keigha has a huge amount of knowledge which was helpful for both third trimester troubles and the birth itself. This what our first baby so we didn’t really know what to expect. Keigha was the first to arrive for our home birth when we needed her and took over monitoring contractions so my husband could focus on me. She called our midwife at the perfect time and advocated for what we wanted throughout the birth. My labor was 25 hours long and at no point did she leave my side or show tiredness. She regularly reminded me that everything was going great and to trust my body and the process. If we didn’t have her services, it would’ve been a more challenging experience for sure. Definitely reach out to her if you are looking for a doula!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the best experience with Keigha /Wintertide. I knew from the beginning I wanted to try for an unmedicated birth for my first birth. About half way through my long labor, I was losing faith in myself and was debating just heading to the ER. Keigha came over in a moments notice, gave me positions to run through to help with back labor, and then was with us the entire time at the birth center, supporting both my husband and me. I would not have had the birth I wanted without Keigha, and I am so grateful for her support, before, during and after labor. 10/10 recommend.
