"Anyone who has the opportunity to have Patti Mills as their doula should not pass up the chance. Her genuine warmth and passion is such a blessing for the comfort for the laboring mother. She instinctually knows what support to give. I cannot recommend her enough!"

— Susanna Napierala, Licensed Midwife

"Patti is an excellent doula who went above and beyond to make our birth as close to ideal as possible. She was successful, and I wholeheartedly recommend her."

— Alisa

"Having Patti with us during the birth of our daughter Vivian was amazing. Her loving guidance made us feel safe and nurtured through the whole process. From our first meeting, it felt as if we had been friends with Patti for years. She is truly an amazing woman and I will recommend her to every expecting couple I know!"

“Patti was every thing I had hoped for and more in a doula. She really listened to me and provided consistent, loving support throughout. She went out of her way to learn about the different modalities I was interested in applying. It was her keen intuition and gentle manner, however, that made all the difference when we were in the thick of it.”

"I simply couldn’t have had a vaginal, pain-med free birth without Patti. She was by my side during the entire labor (at home and at the hospital) and never left me. Without that support I would have surely leaned on pain medication or opted for a C-Section to get me through labor with a posterior facing baby. Patti was not only helpful to me, but to my husband and my mother who were also present and supporting me. She coached them on how to support me and stay rested themselves during the many hours of my labor. She also made sure my husband was near me during important or emotionally trying moments - a real gift!"

"As a student midwife, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside many birth professionals, and Patti Mills stands out as one of the most dedicated and intuitive doulas I’ve ever met. Her support of the parents was unwavering—she created a calm, loving environment while also advocating for their wishes with grace and confidence. Patti’s ability to read the emotional and physical needs of the birthing mother was incredible; she seemed to know exactly when to offer a gentle touch, a word of encouragement, or quiet space. Watching her work was a true learning experience for me. She brings both heart and skill to birth work, and the families she serves are incredibly lucky to have her by their side."

"I have known and worked with Patti for almost 20 years and I can truly say she is my most favorite doula ever!! Patti is intuitive and knows what a particular woman or family needs and just makes it happen! She is sensitive and aware and understands the birthing process better than many OB providers! Her caring and soft nature is exactly what a birthing woman needs. We have been at births together and her energy and ability to continue to support a woman for hours on end is inspiring. She has a bag of tricks that includes essential oils, fans, heating pads, rebozos and more! She also has amazing hands when it comes to her massage techniques. The tension just melts away when she massages your shoulders. I love doing birth with her and always recommend her as my first choice in a birthing partner."

— Diane Holzer, LM, CPM

"When the big day came, Patti was a godsend. She was totally prepared and came armed with a bag of tricks loaded with anything a laboring woman and her partner could want or need. Throughout my labor Patti was there for me, mentally and physically. She knew when I needed her to encourage me and she knew when to sit back and let my husband be my support. In fact, she supported him so that he could support me. This helped us have a very close and emotional experience as partners in our child’s birth. But Patti was never really sitting back. She was always one step ahead and seemed to be able to read my mind when I needed something or when I needed to express something but couldn’t get the words out. She was willing to do anything and everything. I truly feel that I owe so much to Patti and am so thankful that she was there for us during such an important and memorable experience. Patti has a huge heart and beautiful spirit as well as tremendous expertise. I would highly recommend her to anyone."
