Stories of Empowered Births in Korea
Google Review
Adele coached us through the birth of our first child. Her classes were fun and engaging, and she helped us feel prepared for the journey we were about to embark upon. Especially as a non-Korean speaker giving birth far from home, having Adele's advice and guidance was invaluable.

Adele is a wonderful, friendly, bubbly Doula. She is a much-needed asset to the expat community in Korea. Her knowledge ranges from pre-natal to post-natal, including Korean hospital policies. She encourages you to advocate for what you would prefer and prepares you for a great birthing experience. My husband and I took her pre-natal classes and had her come to our home twice after our daughter was born to help us settle as new, first-time parents. We highly recommend her services!

From the moment I met Adele I knew I was in great hands. She ushered me through my pregnancy. I was terrified, living in a foreign country, away from my family and support system. Adele quickly became all that I needed in one. She empowered me to create a realistic birth plan that worked for me and my husband and we were able to give birth to a beautiful baby girl without any added fear, anxiety or pressure. I attribute my beautiful birth experience to the information and tools Adele equipped us with. Everything she said was important to consider, ended up being essential to our birth story. The work she does is essential. Thank you Adele!

I highly recommend Adele's classes for preparing for labour, what to expect in a Korean hospital and then how to look after your little one when you bring them home. Adele's classes were a lifesaver for us as foreigners in Korea and first time parents. She is incredibly knowledgeable and helped us prepare for the arrival of our baby.

We had an incredible experience with Morning Calm Birthing Services and are deeply grateful for Adele’s guidance.
Your holistic approach, with a strong emphasis on the psychological well-being and mental fitness of parents, made a profound impact on us.
The resources and worksheets you provided were not only comprehensive but went beyond the ‘must know’ to include so many ‘good to know’ insights. They are invaluable!
Knowing that you're available for any questions or clarifications is so reassuring. Thank you for bringing out the best in us as we prepare for this next chapter!— Rakesh
