2026“I truly cannot recommend Yoli enough. From the very beginning, Yoli brought such a calming, supportive presence that made a huge difference throughout my pregnancy, labor, and birth experience. What sets her apart is how she goes beyond just being a doula, she becomes someone you genuinely trust and feel comfortable leaning on. She didn’t just show up to do her job, she showed up with her whole heart and by the end of it all, she felt more like a friend than someone I hired. If you’re looking for someone who will support you physically, emotionally, and mentally through your journey, she’s the one! My partner and I are so grateful to have had her by our side.”

2026“From the first day I met Yoli I knew she was going to be the perfect doula. She has a way about her that would make anyone feel comfortable and relaxed. She has such a sweet, and genuine spirit. During labor she cared for my every need and gently reminded me to relax and breath and kept me hydrated. She was so encouraging and patient and stayed right next to me while I labored at home. She had me try different positions for each contractions and really helped me feel as comfortable as possible 😅 I could not have done it without her. Unfortunately we ended up in the hospital and due to Covid she couldn’t come with but she was sure to encourage me through text and we came home to a perfectly cleaned house🥰”
“Lauren Bass recommends Yoli Koenig Independent Birth & Postpartum Doula. September 14, 2020 · This was my first baby and I was pretty nervous; I interviewed multiple doulas but when I met Yoli I knew she was the one I wanted. Looking back I’m so thankful we chose her. She supported us from the moment we hired her and still to this day (3 months postpartum) checks up on me. Every time I talked to her any anxiety I had about an issue would leave. She provided lots of resources about natural birthing and Made my husband and I feel like a million bucks. When the actual delivery came she was exactly what I needed, so present, helpful and encouraging. My birth process would have been so different were it not for her help. She’s exactly what you want in a doula and more!”

2026“I first had the pleasure of meeting and hiring Yoli for postpartum doula services during the quarantine for Covid-19 in April of 2020. I had just had my 4th baby and we lived very far away from family with no way of them getting to us with flights grounded during the pandemic. At first, I thought I could manage it all, but my body quickly reminded me that healing was not going to happen with me doing everything around the house, taking care of kids, homeschooling the 3 older ones, etc. It was quite a stressful and wild time. Calling Yoli to come and help was the BEST decision for our family, and she was exactly what we needed in that crazy time. She came and provided so much peace, care and love. I was blown away at her ability to help with so many things so joyfully and effortlessly. She was dependable and did everything I needed and more, even giving me a foot spa and massage (which this stressed and tired Momma needed desperately!) She was gentle and kind, warm and generous, eager to help and do anything needed. I felt she even cared for my emotional well-being, which is often overlooked in the postpartum phase. She helped my big kids, helped with the baby when needed, cleaned my house from top to bottom, cooked & did dishes, and did all my laundry. She really is a Wonder Woman!! As a seasoned mother herself, I felt so comfortable and relaxed in her presence knowing that she had gone before me many times and has a well of wisdom to draw from. More than a doula for us, Yoli became a treasured friend and I’ll always be eternally grateful for how she showed up for our family in our time of need! She is the kind of doula that makes you want to keep having babies!! Anyone who has her is blessed and favored! I would recommend her 1,000 times.”

April 6, 2026I am beyond grateful for my experience with Yoli. From the very start, she made me feel understood and completely supported in a way I didn’t even know I needed.
During labor, her presence was extremely calming. She knew exactly when to step in with encouragement, when to offer comfort, and when to push me. I felt empowered, safe, and deeply cared for every step of the way. She helped me to trust my body through labor and delivery.
She pours her heart into her job and I am so glad for the relationship we grew along the way! I will forever be thankful for the role she played in one of the most important moments of my husband and I’s life! I can’t recommend her enough to any expecting mama looking for genuine, compassionate, and unwavering support.

April 10, 2026Hands down couldn’t have done any of this without Yoli! The comfort and support she gave my wife throughout the entire process was second to none! Yoli is hands down the best in the business, and her work/services prove it. Shes personable, loving, meets with you on multiple occasions, and also doesn’t beat around the bush when it comes to expectations. Our son Quinn will forever have a place in his heart for Auntie Yoli!
No need to consider anything…. Yoli is an absolute YES! Pay this amazing woman, and let her go to work. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

April 26, 2026We were entirely unprepared for our hospital transfer. If Yoli wasn’t there, we would have ended up medicated, and likely, C section.
After having gone through the birth experience, I can sincerely say that having an experienced doula is the single best thing you can do for your birth plan.

April 20, 2026I truly can’t imagine going through birth without Yoli. From the very beginning, she was kind, down-to-earth, and incredibly easy to connect with. She met with me monthly throughout my pregnancy, always checking in and giving me thoughtful exercises and practical tasks that helped me feel prepared—especially for postpartum.
During labor, she was everything I needed and more. She was the steady, calming presence and honestly the voice that carried me through. She helped me know when it was time to go to the birth center, what to expect next & explained every step in a clear and calm way. She coached me through position changes, guided my breathing, and constantly reassured me that I could do it. Because she was there, I was able to fully focus on giving birth instead of worrying about what might go wrong or what I should be doing next.
My partner also felt such a huge sense of relief having her with us. He was able to focus on supporting me, knowing Yoli was there to guide the process and keep everything on track. That support for both of us was invaluable.
Her care didn’t stop after birth, either. She checked in on us multiple times postpartum, helped debrief the entire birth experience, and created space for me to process everything. Birth is intense, and having someone you trust to talk it through with afterward made such a difference in my emotional healing.
I would recommend Yoli 1000%—she was worth every single penny. I know without a doubt that my labor was as smooth as it was because Yoli was there guiding me.

May 7, 2026Amazing. Yoli immediately feels like a mom when you work with her. Kind, caring, fun and incredibly encouraging. She can also be strong and firm in letting you know what you and baby need. She stayed by my side and coached me the entire labor and birth. She kept me focused and grounded. She didn’t leave my side once.
Highly recommend! Yoli will go above and beyond in the birthing support department. And will check on you after to assist with anything you need.

May 14, 2026My experience working with Yoli was wonderful! Yoli was very kind, caring and supportive from the moment I met her. If it weren’t for Yoli and her expertise, I would not have been able to have the unmedicated birth experience I had been wanting. The moment Yoli showed up, she started guiding me with breathing techniques, labor positions, and applying counter pressure which helped tremendously with the contraction pains. She is amazing!
Definitely give Yoli a call! She is very experienced and knowledgeable. I will recommend her to every one of my friends and family members who become pregnant.

May 27, 2026Yoli helped me through my pregnancy experience and postpartum. She was always there when I needed her and very helpful. She made me feel common and supported through my first pregnancy and even through postpartum up until three months. She is still there for me answering all my questions and needs. She is truly one of a kind, and I would recommend her to anyone having their first child and or more.
Go with Yoli, she is very knowledgeable and very trustworthy. She has been doing this for quite some time now and I would not question her ability to help new moms and/or returning moms.

May 17, 2026In our pregnancy, Yoli met with us several times and never rushed through our questions. As first time parents we had a lot of questions and she helped reassure us and ease our anxiety as we navigated pregnancy and birth prep.
During labor, Yoli was extremely supportive, kind, and attentive to my needs. Our home birth plans didn’t pan out, so we transferred to the hospital, but Yoli was with us every step of the way, encouraging us and explaining anything we didn’t understand after our plans shifted. With things not going as planned, it made it all the more important that we had Yoli on our team to help us navigate as the situation changed.
In postpartum, it’s been so clear that Yoli truly cares about her clients. She’s checked in with us and helped with challenges we’ve faced in postpartum. Even with her busy schedule supporting other births and couples, she’s always made time for us. We are so thankful for Yoli!
I highly recommend Yoli for your birth and postpartum support. She was so supportive and comforting throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My birth plan didn’t go exactly as planned, but having Yoli there to support us through the unexpected made all the difference.
My mom and husband were also especially thankful to have Yoli supporting us because they could ask her questions and felt reassured through the birth, with Yoli being able to tell them “this is normal!” and explaining things to them along the way.
As a first time mom, I am so thankful for Yoli and will definitely be asking for her support with future births as well. You will not regret having her involved!
