Testimonials

  • “From the very start, Patti exhibited an enormous amount of attunement, sensitivity and awareness in the way she interacted and cared for our baby. She is highly professional, deeply personable, warm and compassionate. While her priority has always been to be present and connected in caring for our son, she has also uniquely managed to help us keep our home clean and organized. We believe her experience as a doula has greatly benefited us as new parents. She gracefully manages to share her own insights while being respectful to our experience. If we were to have another child, we would not hesitate to hire Patti as a birth or postpartum doula.”

  • "Patti Mills is a gifted doula and healer—a calm, loving presence and one of the most beautiful human beings I have ever known. Even before we met, I intuitively knew she was the perfect fit and my first choice. I will be forever grateful. Patti brings decades of experience to her calling, along with an amazing network of women professionals who support mothers through their journey of pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care. Given her gifts and extensive experience, I feel incredibly blessed to have had her as my doula. I had a high-risk pregnancy with hyperemesis and other complications. Intuitively, I knew the best personal choice for me was a home water birth, and I held onto dreams of a beautiful birth experience even through multiple hospitalizations. While I prepared for the possibility of hospital care, Patti stood beside me with unwavering support. I genuinely believe that having Patti with me helped me successfully birth my daughter in a birthing pool in her nursery, overlooking our garden. Patti had lit candles and connected me with the most extraordinary team of midwives. Everything was carefully choreographed with love and expertise. Despite my health challenges, my daughter was born peacefully and in good health. Afterward, I needed continued care, and I highly recommend Patti's postnatal services as well. She supported me through numerous challenges—nutritionally, with nursing, and through those first crucial pediatric appointments. Her selfless compassion, integrity, commitment, and dedication are exceptional. Patti Mills is truly a treasure, and I cannot recommend her highly enough."

“If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life... For that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation... or love and trust." — Suzanne Arms
