Brooklyn Birth Arts – Doula and Birth Photography

Heather White is a most essential ingredient to a successful birth experience. She is supportive, thorough, enthusiastic, of boundless energy and wants the very best for you. She is understanding, empathetic and is able to anticipate one's needs. She was by my side, with extra cliff bars, organic teas and crackers from the moment I beckoned for her help. I ended up laboring in the hospital because my water broke early and Heather helped make that last minute change of plans into the perfect option.
Heather's home visits were replete with welcome tips and advice, as well as hands on practice.
Heather was a kindred spirit in terms of going the natural route with birth, with diapers, with healthy food, and with clothes and toys for the baby.
I can recommend her full throttle, no hesitation!

Heather is a wonderful person, period. Not only is she very supportive and attentive as a doula but also incredibly talented as a photographer.
When I first met her I felt we clicked right away and I just knew I had to have her present at my son's birth. Her thinking and childrearing ideas are very similar to mine so our conversation (she'll visit you in your home before the birth so that you and your partner can get acquainted and feel comfortable with one another) quickly turned from my vision of childbirth to cloth diapering and Ina May Gaskin.
Heather made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the pregnancy and beyond: she was there for me when I needed to vent, knew exactly what kind of nursing bra to recommend and which pediatrician would work for me. At my son's birth, she was the one handing me coconut water and massaged my back through contractions. She was also the one who helped me get over my despair when it turned out I had to have a C-section instead of my dream water birth: she knew exactly what to say to console me and be strong for my baby.
To top it all off, her pictures of my son's birth just blew me away - she has an eye for catching those priceless moments so I still get shivers up and down my spine when I look at her pictures.
Thank you, Heather!
