As a same-gender couple, finding a doula who truly understood and respected our journey to parenthood meant the world to us. From the moment we met Hannah Fillette of Hudson Valley Birth Partners, we knew we were in the right hands. She welcomed us with open arms, creating a safe, affirming space where we felt seen, supported, and celebrated.
Throughout pregnancy and birth, Hannah was a steady and compassionate presence—offering education, emotional support, and so much encouragement. During labor, she helped us navigate every stage with calm confidence, offering comfort measures and thoughtful advocacy that helped us stay grounded and connected.
When our baby boy arrived, Hannah’s care didn’t stop there. She checked in often, offering postpartum guidance and gentle reassurance as we settled into life as new parents.
We can’t recommend Hannah and Hudson Valley Birth Partners enough. Her warmth, professionalism, and respect for all families made our experience not just positive—but truly empowering and beautiful.

“I had a great experience working with Hannah! She was easy to talk to, warm, and caring from the moment she arrived. Hannah was confident handling my newborn and proactive in helping around the house, which made a big difference during those early days. She was also very accommodating with my schedule and came ready to support the whole family—even offering some love to our dog! I’d happily recommend her to other new parents.”

As a father and now a grandfather, I wanted to make sure my daughter had all the support she needed during her pregnancy and birth. When I came across Hudson Valley Birth Partners, I decided to gift her doula services—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I could’ve made for our family.
Hannah Fillette was incredible from the start. She guided my daughter and son-in-law through every stage with compassion, professionalism, and true care. During labor, Hannah provided calm reassurance and advocated for my daughter when she needed it most, even suggesting alternative interventions that helped her induction go more smoothly.
Knowing my daughter was in such capable, nurturing hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. Hannah’s dedication and kindness made all the difference—not only for the birth itself, but for the confidence my daughter carried into motherhood.
I can’t thank Hannah and Hudson Valley Birth Partners enough for the comfort and support they brought to our family during such a special time.

“We had such a wonderful experience with our postpartum doula, Hannah. From day one, she was insightful and brought such a calming presence, especially when dealing with the stress of a newborn as first-time parents. Her communication was excellent — she always checked in, anticipated what we might need, and made everything feel easy and organized.
She truly went above and beyond, doing a snack run for mama when I needed some extra nourishment and even a store run for baby when we ran short on supplies. Those thoughtful touches made such a difference in those early, blurry weeks.
She was also incredibly punctual, transparent, and reliable — qualities that gave us total peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her support and can’t recommend her highly enough.”
