Client Testimonials:
I only have to close my eyes and I can take myself back to that room, the night my second daughter was born. Mani held my hand when I needed to lie down, she held my entire body when I needed to be upright, and she held my heart through the entire process. I would never give birth again without her by my side. Mani is a gift to all women; at birth, and in life, she is a calming, empowering, soul affirming presence, and I was blessed to have her with me during the most intense and profound moments of my life.

I wasn’t brave enough for a home birth, but I knew I didn’t want the full “hospital experience” for the birth of my second child. Having Mani as our doula was the perfect solution. She respected my wishes, answered our questions and worked great with the hospital staff during my delivery. I like to say she was our “voice of reason” through the last half of my pregnancy and my delivery. I would highly recommend Mani as a doula or a midwife.

Mani is an amazing woman and it was an honor to have her stand with me during my labor and delivery. So much of our knowing about pregnancy and labor has been forgotten. Having a doula, having Mani, with me helped connect me to this long history of wisdom, care and support. Her calm and peaceful manner gave me confidence and her quiet assurance kept me going. She believed in me so I could believe in myself. She literally supported me as my body did what it had to do to have my baby. My husband, who was also with us, said that it was such an amazing experience to see a body do what it was so clearly designed to do. Mani gave us the support and space to have this experience. Having a natural birth and a doula was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I felt like superwoman.

Mani is an absolutely amazing midwife. She was professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate throughout my pregnancy and during my daughter's birth. Mani was punctual for our appointments, really listened to my thoughts, concerns, and questions, and was always sweet, caring, and gracious. I would recommend her without hesitation for any woman looking for a midwife.
