What People Are Saying About Doula Care in Chico, Ca

"I was so grateful for having a chance to have Morgan assist me on my VBAC. She totally made a difference on my birth and advocated for me all the time. She made me feel heard and empowered, she also made sure my wishes were met and supported me through my whole labor. I was able to get my natural birth the way I wanted because of all the help I got from her. I really don't think I could have ever done it without her, and I will be forever grateful for this. I had a really long labor and she was there for it, she was there for me even when I felt like giving up, she encouraged me and kept me going until we saw my little baby coming out. No words could describe how grateful I am to her."

"Having Morgan by my side for my first birth was one of the greatest blessings. From the very beginning of my pregnancy, she made me feel seen, heard, and supported in every way. I also did my birth education with her, and she was so knowledgeable and resourceful. It was so nice going over my birth plan with her, she always provided helpful resources and information to guide me through decisions I wasn’t sure about, which gave me so much peace and confidence as I prepared for labor.

When it came time to give birth, she was everything I needed and more. I labored for 40 hours naturally, and I truly could not have done it without her calm presence, encouragement, and steady guidance. 

Having a doula in a hospital setting made such a difference, she knew my birth plan, understood what I wanted, and could speak up on my behalf when I needed it most.

Even after birth, she continues to show up for me. She came to my lactation consult, visited me at home, and supported me through every step of postpartum life. Her faith has also been such a gift. She’s not just a doula, she’s a woman of God who prays for me and my family, and reminds me to trust His plan.

She is compassionate, insightful, and so full of heart. I’m beyond thankful she was part of my journey with my first baby, and I know without a doubt I want her by my side for every pregnancy to come."

"Morgan was incredibly supportive. As a first time mom, I had so many questions and Morgan answered them and then some! I really like how she taught the birthing process and her support after the baby was born was extremely valuable. 

I struggled quite a bit the first couple of weeks with breastfeeding and Morgan had some great tips for me. She showed me a natural hold which was better for my baby's gas and my comfort. I was adamant about having a non medicated birth and Morgan coached me through the whole labor so that I could have that. I really think my baby and my body are healthy today because I had Morgan and her support."

"Morgan was our biggest cheerleader and coach; providing guidance (from birth positions to healthy habits to relationship support), encouragement, humor, and a listening ear through all the worries and excitement we had as first time parents.  She provided support not only to me as a woman and mother, but to my husband as well and included him every step of the way which was extremely important to him and to me. During my third trimester, we learned our baby was breech. That really threw us for a loop considering we were working with Morgan to have an unmedicated vaginal birth, and while we tried everything to turn him we ended up needing to schedule a C-section. Although it wasn't our ideal situation, it really helped to have Morgan be with us to talk through our fears, emotions, and acceptance of the situation. 

The surgery couldn't have gone more smoothly and part of that is because Morgan was by our side. At the hospital it felt so comforting to have her there and it was nice to feel like we had someone present who had our back and best interest. My husband was very nervous about the C-section and said he would have lost it if it wasn't for Morgan being there while he was waiting for the surgery to begin. 

After we welcomed a healthy baby boy, Morgan visited us at our home and helped with all of our newborn questions (and dropped off a delicious homemade sourdough!). As a new mother, it was so valuable to have a safe space to talk about postpartum symptoms. Morgan's love for helping bring life into the world shines bright and I'm so thankful we got to have her be a part of our journey.'

“I started with Morgan about halfway through my twin pregnancy. I’ve had children before but I was older and having twins I didn’t know how to navigate my own thoughts. I reached out to many doulas but so many feel like their focus is natural births and new parents. I already knew I was having a c-section and had done this multiple times. I needed emotional support for myself as well as navigating introducing new babies to special needs children. Morgan was heaven sent she listened to what I had to say without any judgement.

I was in and out of the hospital a lot and she showed up every time. When I couldn’t count on anyone else I could her. I had my babies at 34 weeks and she held my hand through the stress of NICU life as well as my postpartum depression. I spent a year with her after giving birth and I don’t think I would have gotten through it without her. I recommend her to everyone, especially if you are religious household, she’s a wonderful woman of God. 

If you are older, plus size, have special needs or mental illness, health issues or are alone don’t feel like no one can help you.”

"I just recently gave birth to my rainbow baby. Morgan was a part of the experience and I can't put into words the gratitude I feel towards her! She did such an amazing job in making sure I felt supported and got what I needed! The bond I have now created with Morgan will extend far beyond our relationship of working together, she will always hold a special place in my heart after helping me have a beautiful redemptive birthing experience. If you are thinking of looking for a doula, I couldn't suggest Morgan enough! Again, thank you Morgan for everything you do and for being such a beautiful soul!"

“My birth was the most intense thing I ever went through, but I’ve been mentally preparing myself for birth since I found out about my little one.  Even though many had doubts, I made sure to put my mind to it and encourage myself to remember that I was made for this and it truly worked.  

In this photo I see a girl who just went through a harsh 36 hour labor, but pushed through it and was so happy after nine long months to finally have her baby in arms safely.

Morgan truly helped me become in-tuned with my body so that with every contraction I allowed my baby to move through it.  She is the best and I hope to have her with me at every birth in the near future.”

~ Maddie G.

"Hiring Morgan was one of the best decisions we made as first-time parents. She’s amazing! She’s everything we could have hoped for in a doula and more. Her support and guidance gave us the confidence to have a natural birth with zero interventions (something I dreamed of but wasn’t sure we could actually pull off). 

What we especially appreciated was how she supported both of us. She treated us as a team, made sure my husband was included, and helped us feel prepared for every stage. She is incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and was always there to answer our questions.

Morgan also has an incredible gift for staying positive and finding the good in every situation. That uplifting perspective was such a gift, especially during a particularly difficult postpartum period. Her steady support and encouragement have made a lasting difference. We’re beyond grateful for her and will absolutely be calling her for all our future babies!"

“Morgan served as our doula for our 4th child. It was our first time having a doula, but we thought having a doula would help with our (my) anxiety as this was after a pregnancy loss. 

Morgan took my husband and I through the birth training first, and also prepared our kids for what would happen during labor & delivery, always assuring them they could ask any questions they had. She is a great teacher. They all agreed she made them feel cared for and valued.

When the time came for labor, I so appreciated all her ideas, direction and calm flexible attitude. She advocated for me to have the lowest intervention birth that I have ever had (and my others were very straightforward hospital births) and I felt that my labor, delivery and recovery all benefitted!

Little brother is totally loved by all of us and we are grateful to Morgan for her presence and help during the delivery!”

~ Megan B.

"I'm so glad we had Morgan as our doula. I wasn't sure for a while about hiring a doula as it was my second birth, but I am so glad I did. Having her present during labor was so helpful as things progressed a little diferently than with my first, but because of her experience, I was able to have the birth plan I wanted. Having her there to guide us helped keep things on track and progressing naturally so I was able to labor almost entirely at home.

And her counseling before birth also helped in many ways, from just talking and processing the birth experience, to helping figure out why baby is fussy, and figuring out his natural routine.

I would absolutely recommend her to anyone even considering a doula."

~ Michele

"Morgan's depth of devotion to others is evident in her ability to connect and encourage her clients. I have found a lifelong friend, and God has made Himself known through our sisterhood. She is irreplaceable as a doula and as a counselor. She offers truly objective insight and perspectives when handling conflict. She wants the best for everyone involved and displays true compassion and empathy. She is by far one of my favorite people and my life is better with her in it."

~ Natalie

"As a first time mom, I found the idea of a doula comforting, but didn't know what they did really. Unsure what to expect I knew I wanted to have a vaginal birth at the hospital with minimal to no medical interventions. I wanted to birth naturally and labor safely, but independently of pain medication or other western medicine.  Working with Morgan Dietz, I was able to accomplish ALL my personal birth goals. She made me feel confident and strong.

I knew little about babies or the birth process at all before I met her. She was informative, patient and I felt very loved by her. She called me, came over, texted always making me feel secure and calming my nerves.

She stayed by my side for the entirety of my labor/delivery & helped my partner through the parts that were challenging for him as well. She met with all the members of my house, helped me make a clear birth plan and accomplish it. 

She has been a major part of my postpartum journey, teaching me how to breastfeed, giving me nutritional pointers, baby burping pointers, and reminding me to give myself grace. She's encouraging & I'm excited to have her for my second baby as well.

She's so knowledgable, sweet, down to earth and embodies exactly what I needed in a doula.  I trust her with my life. My husband feels the same way. She also photographed the birth process for us."

“Best decision for our family!  

When we found out that our family was going to have a new little one, I knew I wanted to do things differently. With my first birth, I was unaware and allowed the hospital staff to lead my decisions. I had wanted a more natural experience, but my fear and uncertainty of being a first-time parent clouded my judgments.  When we met with Morgan, we felt a sense of calm. She's such a genuine caring woman, and that carried over into our experience. She listened to our wants, needs, and fears.  She validated our feelings and supported our journey in a way we can not fully describe.  Having her love for not only myself and baby but my husband and older daughter made it possible to trust my body. This is truly her calling, and she gives her heart and soul. We were able to welcome our baby girl into the world the way we wanted with her help. ❤️”

“I am so grateful for Morgan and the support she gave me throughout my pregnancy. I was hoping for a VBAC after two previous C-sections, and even though my journey ultimately ended in another C-section, she never once made me feel anything but supported, empowered, and encouraged.

She was always there — checking in, listening without judgment, reminding me of my strength, and helping me process every emotion along the way. When plans changed and my heart needed reassurance, she helped me find peace and grace in an outcome I didn’t originally envision.

Morgan truly meets you where you are, honors your goals, and supports you no matter how your birth unfolds. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a compassionate, understanding, and empowering doula.” 💕✨
