We used Camisha for the home birth of our 2nd child. She was a very good doula and helped me so much. I honestly believe we couldn't have done it without her. Her touch was amazing and so supportive. She is very knowledgeable about birth and labor. She was also very emotionally supportive when my labor slowed down and stopped. She called to see how I was doing before the birth, which was very nice. Our prenatal meetings were great, and sometimes we would just talk until it got very late. It always felt like a friend was over to visit. We were always comfortable with her in our home and she always had a sense of humor. She helped us follow our birth plan to the T. She was very professional and caring throughout the entire process. She also helped my husband be supportive and the birthing partner I needed him to be. She made having a doula a dream come true. I would never birth without her again.

With my previous pregnancy I suffered complications, which resulted in an early delivery, emergency caesarean, and a 2-week NICU stint for my precious boy. Since there is a correlation between attended births and vaginal deliveries, we began the process of selecting a doula. We chose Camisha Reed. Still early in her career, she was honest about her experience with VBACs. Her knowledge, warmth and enthusiasm compensated for whatever she lacked experientially. We had our early visits with Camisha and learned about visualizations, recitations, and Bach flower remedy. Just before our last visit with Camisha, my water broke. At only 35 weeks, I panicked! My husband did a great job of calming and reassuring me. I was also reassured by Camisha, who would meet us at the hospital. Soon after check in, Camisha arrived. We walked, talked, and worked on the birthing ball. Camisha massaged me with oils, explaining their role in the birthing process. She brushed my hair and encouraged me softly. We were supported, when the nurse arbitrarily raised the Pitocin levels (despite knowing our wishes against this). When I decided to get an epidural, Camisha reminded me that I had never committed to a natural birth. Camisha does not make one feel inadequate because of their particular choices in the birthing experience. She supports you, whether you want a full natural birth, or if you feel you may need help. Before we knew it, I was ready to push! One of the nurses began to ask Camisha for her name (realizing there was much credence to the roles Doulas play, Iâ??m sure). My precious boy was born at 4 lbs. 14 ozs. At the post-delivery visit, Camisha checked up on how the nursing was going and gave us our birth story, pictures and homemade bread. This vaginal birth was possible because of the calming presence and knowledge of Camisha Reed. I highly recommend Camisha to any mother looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and caring Doula.

I chose Camisha to be the doula for the birth of my second child. I knew I wanted a natural birth, but had no idea how to go about achieving this within a hospital system. Camisha immediately put me at ease and was very reassuring, telling me that I could do it. She is an educational resource, in a quiet unassuming way. She was especially good at informing my husband â?? the man who had previously walked out of our birth classes in horror. She is a very warm person whom we immediately felt comfortable with, and this is also reflected in how she interacted positively with the hospital staff. Camisha also provided much emotional support in the weeks leading up to delivery. I felt continually barraged by well meaning but insensitive friends, family and colleagues who would ask personal questions and then offer up unhelpful advice that was always focused on pain, gore and pharmaceuticals. Camisha was one of the 5 positive people who were absolutely supportive of my choices. I also believe she is completely non judgmental about birth and was there to support both me and my husband, regardless of our birth choices. After the birth she helped with nursing, and gave great massages. For the post-partum visit she pieced together a beautiful birth story for our daughter complete with documentary style photographs. I know that Camisha was integral to the birth going to â??planâ?? and I would recommend her to expectant parents without hesitation.

My first child was breech resulting in a cesarean delivery. We had been planning a natural birth and so when we found out we were pregnant again we wanted a VBAC. I decided to look for a doula because I wanted someone present who could be a resource and support for both my husband and myself. After interviewing several doulas I met with Camisha and knew within the first 5 minutes that she was the right match for me. Her knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth was very apparent and I felt at ease with her. She had worked with VBACs before and was well informed. Our pre natal visits were wonderful, she took the time to get to know us and really shared a wealth of information. When labor began Camisha was supportive and ready from the first call at 3am. She helped me understand where I was in the labor process and helped me make informed decisions thru out my birthing experience. From active labor to delivery it was about 6 hours and my midwife felt that the labor progressed extremely well for my first vaginal birth. I credit Camishaâ??s coaching and guidance. She was a comfort not only to me but my husband as well. During her postpartum visit I was thrilled to get the birth story she had written and the photos, I had no idea how much I wouldnâ??t remember. She also discussed my nursing concerns and gave me some helpful tips and contacts to help with any difficulties. I would highly recommend Camisha's services, I really feel that she goes above and beyond for her clients. Thanks again Camisha for playing such a vital role in our child's birth!

I met Camisha at a doula training seminar and had planned to have her as my doula for my 5th baby. Though she wasn't able to actually attend my birth, I got to know her well at the prenatal appointment. She arranged for a wonderful backup for my birth and came for a postpartum visit, when I truly needed her most. When I first met Camisha I immediately felt very comfortable around her. Her presence is very calming and comforting. She is very informed about all of the different issues relating to pregnancy and childbirth. She is skilled in a variety of comfort techniques from massage, to aromatherapy, to relaxation techniques. Most of all she is very intuitive and seems to quickly discern the unique needs of each mother, possibly even before the mother knows them. I would recommend Camisha as a doula to anyone, as she seems to relate so well to any personality. I believe Camisha is everything anyone could ever want in a doula!

A couple months ago we started researching Doula's. We met with several, and finally chose Camisha to assist us with our birth. There was something about Camisha, she was open, direct, helpful and very informative. She has an amazing energy and we feel her presence the minute she walks in a room. Camisha helped us with so much during the pregnancy, during a week long preterm labor/bedrest and during the 24 hour birth, we don't even know where to begin. From bringing reading materials concerning the Rhogam shot when all the drs told us to take it, to helping dad remain calm as my fever spiked to over 100, to wandering the hospital halls in an attempt to progress the birth naturally, to holding my hand during a very unwanted c-section, to writing an amazing birth story that we will cherish forever, she was way more that we ever could have hoped for in a Doula. In fact, as we have thought about what to write here, we do not want to write about Camisha our Doula, we now see her as much more.. . a friend. Thanks Camisha, for everything. . .

I met Camisha in a doula training seminar, from there she became my doula for my second baby. Camisha was incredibly professional in all of the pre-natal visits, the birth and the post-natal visits. She really took the time to get to know me and my family. At the birth she was an incredible help. My husband raves about how great she was, and my midwife was very impressed by her work ethic. I loved how thoughtful she was of my needs, as well as the needs of my husband, son and midwife. She has a gift for anticipating and noticing things that need to be done and she does them without being asked. What I love most about Camisha is her kindness and gift for nurturing. I now consider her my friend and am so grateful for her compassion, her wisdom and her kindness.

Camisha was my doula for my 5th child. She was so great. I truely with that I would have had her with all of my children. She had great suggestions for having my baby go down into my pelvis which resulted in my water breaking on their own which was something that I wanted. With her there my birth plan was every thing that I wanted. Between her and my hubby I was able to go natural and had a really pleasent time doing so. She worked well with the nursing staff and my midwife. If we did have any more I would have her again. And my husband said that she was his new best friend! lol!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

I just delivered my second child with Camisha as my doula. She was absolutely wonderful. My labor was a beautiful and successful experience because of her support and ideas. She was my labor angel. She not only was a fantastic support during labor, but also was extremely supportive before and after labor. I could call her for anything. She is very informed and anything she doesn't know she will try to find out. I would definitely recommend her!..... (Thanks Camisha for your love and support, I will never forget you)

This site is very easy to follow and informative and as no surprise to me professional. I am VERY excited to have Camisha actually deliver my next child! This field is perfect for her. She is very sincere, warm-hearted and compassionate yet a strong, honest and professional woman. Camisha is an excellent choice as your Doula!

I had not heard of a Doula, very cool! As expected from Camisha the website is professional and informative.

This is an awesome and informative site! Very personal too. I enjoyed that aspect in particular.
