Dear Fran,

Words can’t express how thankful I am I decided to have a doula, and that it was you. Your exceptional support and the fact that you believed I could do a natural and birth from the beginning.  You truly made it happen, and I am thankful I did it with you. 🙂 Theresa

Dear Fran,

Thank you so much for bringing us dinner after we brought Joshua home.  It was absolutely delicious!  Were really enjoyed working with you and are so glad you could be a part of Joshua’s birth.  We couldn’t have done it without you.  I hope we are still here when it comes to baby number two!  We will definitely need and want your help again.

Love and blessings,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     John, Amanda and Joshua

Dear Fran,

I can’t think of a way to tell you how much your love and support meant to me, especially when I was facing the possibility of birthing Sophia alone.  It was a relief to have Pedro home for the big event but I knew that you were always there for me and I will always appreciate you for that.  I hope that I will always have you in my life. And I hope that you have the chance to touch other babies and mothers like you have touched us.

Fran helped me with both of my children’s births and aftercare. Even as a second-time-mom, I was so happy to have Fran’s help and guidance at my side. Confidence is very important in a new mother’s mind, and Fran helped me achieve the level that made me feel I could handle the huge challenge of having a toddler and a newborn.”

With my past pregnancies I had felt out of control. Intuitively I knew there had to be a better way. I needed someone who could help me prepare for a more natural child birthing experience. Someone who could advocate for me during labor and delivery. Someone who I could trust and possibly fill in as my coach if my husband was away at time of the delivery. Fran was there to help me go over my birthing plan, my prenatal appointments, and she got to attend one of my ultrasounds. She knew just what I needed during my labor, too. She took care of all the details. When it was time for the delivery, she was my biggest cheerleader. Fran is now a very special person in my family because she is part of my baby’s birth story.”

Fran Hoyer has been the Doula for both of my grandchildren. She is very loving and her focus as Doula is on the well being of the mother and child. She also keeps close contact with the mothers and children after the births. I believe the role of Doula is Fran’s calling in life (she is the mother of four children herself and a grandmother). Fran is “Grandma Fran” to both of my grandchildren. Thank you Frannie for assisting in bringing our precious ones into the world.”

The wisdom and compassion of Fran can dramatically enhance the experience of childbirth. She’s a source of healing and understanding for all mothers she works with. Fran is the mother’s best advocate.”
