LABOR CLIENTS "I had a wonderful experience with Gayla Mays as my doula. As my due date neared I began to realize that I was going to need a little extra support through the labor and birthing process. I spoke with Gayla when I was about 37 weeks pregnant and although it was last minute and our date quickly approaching she was very understanding and flexible. She was absolutely amazing to work with. My husband and I still talk about our experience with her. Gayla was available at all times through text and phone and provided great feedback and support before labor had even started. When labor did start, she was immediately available when my husband and I needed her. Her calm and gentle spirit kept me focused on what I was supposed to do. She provided amazing feedback during my contractions which I believe really sped up the labor process. Having her there with us allowed me to do the majority of my laboring at home. Her instinct was right on about when we needed to pack up and head for the hospital. Once there, she was right by my side offering continual support for my husband and I. She ensured that all of my birth plan was followed by doctors and nurses and I was able to have a natural birth without complication. When my son arrived she captured the moment and took lots of precious pictures. During my postpartum visit with Gayla, she gifted me a wonderful birth story for my son where she recounted details that I would have never remembered. I highly recommend Gayla. She will offer you great support and a wealth of knowledge in order to achieve the birth you want." Elizabeth W. - Midlothian, TX
"Gayla was extremely helpful, and supportive. It was such a blessing to have her at the birth of my son. Her kind, and encouraging words helped me to stay true to my decision to have a natural, medication free birth. She was so very helpful, and knowledgeable when it came to breastfeeding. My labor, and hospital stay would have been much more stressful without her calming, and encouraging presence. I plan on having her as my doula with all my future children as well." Amanda T. - Midlothian, TX
"Gayla Mays is a warm and friendly doula who was very helpful in the last weeks leading up to birth and the delivery process itself. It was a cesarean section. Nevertheless, I got the desired physical, emotional, and above all spiritual support. She was nurturing and professional. The pictures she took of the first moments after delivery are priceless. I will treasure them always. Thank you for being an intimate part of the birth of our adorable Michelle." Gbemisola O. - Nigeria
POSTPARTUM CLIENTS "Ms. Mays continues to be a blessing to my family. As a family life doula, she provides help and support to my entire family. She cares for our children, ages 4 months and 8 years old, while providing emotional support, encouragement, and guidance to my wife while she continues to recover from an emergency c-section and the loss of her mother two weeks after giving birth. Her presence has lowered my family's stress level tremendously which allows me to continue to focus on my career. She has become like family. I highly recommend her for your family because she is the greatest!" Dr. Christopher P. - Cedar Hill, TX
