The Doulas of Buddha Belly Help Women Feel Less Scared – Jessica Brumley, CNM, USF Health

Evidence has demonstrated that women who have a doula are less likely to use pain medication in labor, less risk of cesarean section and a higher satisfaction with their birth experience. We love working with a supportive doula but not all doulas are the same. The doulas of Buddha Belly Birth Services are not only…

She was absolutely irreplaceable – Brittany, Apollo Beach

My husband and I knew right when we met Christie and Amy that they were an asset that we wanted on our birth team. With this being our first child and me really wanting a natural delivery we knew they would be worth every penny. Christie ended up being my doula and she was absolutely…

My body and mind healed quicker – Lisa, St. Petersburg

My first pregnancy entailed many adventures, but one of the paths led me to Buddha Belly. I utilized Buddha Belly for my placenta encapsulation.

I had a great experience with Buddha Belly! I had an extremely difficult twin pregnancy and anytime it was getting too hard, or overwhelming I would reach out to them through text messaging.

Client Review

Hypnobirthing taught me to relax and believe in the process – Tanya, Tampa

I received superior service from the moment I contacted Buddha Belly.  Christie promptly contacted me and advised me of her services.  I hired Candice for one on one Hypnobirthing classes at my home.

Truly the most talented and loving doula – Lauren, St. Pete

From the second I found out I was pregnant I knew a home birth was exactly what I wanted. There was no way I was going to be in a hospital to give birth, those places freaked me out! As I researched long and hard to find the perfect midwife for my new and growing…

Everyone NEEDS a doula! – Samantha, Palm Harbor

I can’t say enough about how Christie impacted my birth as my doula. She was a calming presence for my husband. He knew that as long as Christie was calm everything was going to be okay. My favorite memory was when Christie reminded my to follow my instincts and to own my birth. This made…
