  • "Edna from NYC Birth Village was doula and I cannot recommend her enough. As a single mother by choice, Edna was with me every step of the way. She made me feel safe, calm, and secure leading up to, during and after the birth of my precious daughter. She is so knowledgeable and has the perfect mix of being soft and strong. I feel so blessed to have had her by my side when my daughter was born. If we could each have someone like Edna by our side to help us through life transitions, this would be a better world."
