"Angelina is the best thing that could of happened to me during my pregnancy. I was referred to her by another lady in my birth class who had Angelina as her doula for her first baby, was on her second and had just hired her again. She described her as being her rock as she labored ... Angelina was very sweet and it was so easy to feel comfortable in her presence. I knew she was just right for me."

"My first experience giving birth left me frightened and anxious. With my second, my cousin told me about her doula, Angie. I reluctantly agreed to meet Angie. Upon meeting her I immediately felt her warmth and kindness. Upon speaking with her I knew she was exactly the kind of person I could allow into my birth space. I could not have had my son at home without her. She had a way about her; her words; her voice; even the sweet smell of her hair. As our doula she brought tons of useful information, tools and skills. She brought topics to our attention that we had not considered before. Angie, you are tremendous love! As we prepare for our third baby (another homebirth) this fall we are hugely relieved to find that Angie moved back to the bay area and will be our doula again!! We wouldn't want any other doula. She's just that great. "

"I had my encapsulation done by the wonderful, Angie Valentin! She was trustworthy and very informative. She picked up the placenta from John Muir, and delivered my pills quickly to my home! She is also a doula and helped answer many of my questions concerning myself, baby, and feeding. Greatest experience and great results!" |

"My wife and I agree that Angie was such a tremendous help. Her classes were informative and the labor support she provided was invaluable. Angie is eloquent, articulate, and has a knack for making sense of the elusive."

"I found Angie when I was about twenty weeks pregnant with my only child. First we emailed. Angie always responded in a professional and timely manner. Second we spoke on the phone. She was nice, understanding, personable and professional. Then we met in person. She was everything that she represented herself to be. I immediately felt comfortable with her. After a few days and meeting with a few more doulas, my husband and I decided to hire her. Being my first pregnancy I had a lot of questions. Angie always answered my emails and phone calls in a friendly, professional tone quickly. She went above and beyond her duties to make me happy and feel informed. Angie even went with me to meet my midwife which was a hours drive away. When the day came for me to have my baby, Angie met us at the hospital. She stayed with us and supported both my husband and I needed. Again, she went above and beyond taking care of both of us.
She was in the hospital with us, constantly supporting us and making nurses and doctors aware of our birth plan. Angie is a dedicated, hard worker who really takes the time to get to know her clients and their needs. I am very grateful that I met Angie and she was the one there supporting me and helping me bring my child into this world." |

"My husband and I had been trying to conceive for years. Having our very own family was top on our priority list and couldn't have been more ready. We had read several books about labor and newborns but knew we wanted more information and support. We began looking into local doulas and knew without a doubt that Angie Pie was the right doula for us. We asked her to be our birth doula and signed up for her baby care class. Shortly after I was on put on bedrest and couldn't make the class. With no hesitation at all, Angie Pie offered the private class. We we're surprised when she came in with babydolls that felt real! Angie was full of information; she's like a sunburst of passion. Through labor Angie offered helpful suggestions to me and my husband. She was courteous to the hospital staff even when they were being dismissive. We really don't think we could have had the birth experience we did without the help and support Angie constantly provided. "

"Never again will I come home from the hospital without having a postpartum doula booked! I waited way too long to interview and hire a doula so after I came home and all our family left, I quickly realized I needed help and FAST! Angie was super sweet and understanding. She was able to start that same night, arrived on time, and prepared. My babies were inconsolable every night for hours and Angie was able to quiet them within moments of walking in the door. She helped me find a gentle routine for the babies, and how to stagger their routine so I wasn't so frantic. I will never be able to thank Angie enough for everything she did for us."

"I consider myself a pretty low maintenance person but I had so many questions, concerns and doubt about encapsulating my placenta. I must have asked 30 questions before I was ready to get started. Angie Pie answered my call, was so sweet as she thoroughly answered every single question I had, and even brought up some great points I hadn't thought of. I'm so glad I chose Angie, so glad I chose to encapsulate, and so happy it helped me. " - Mama in Sacramento, CA
