  • Edna was very sweet to work with. I was trying to breast feed after a traumatic c section. She took her time explaining how to massage my breast, properly fit flanges and how to use my pumping device. I have referred her to my friends and wish you success on your breast feeding journey

    - Victoria N

  • Edna was SO amazing to work with. She helped me with lactation and is incredibly knowledgeable and very responsive. Highly recommend working with her!

    - Katarina S.

  • I greatly enjoyed working with Edna. She was a huge help to our family in helping with our breastfeeding journey. In just a few visits I dropped pumping and switched to exclusively nursing like I had planned. Her energy is calming and she is so kind and very knowledgeable. Breastfeeding is not easy, but with her support and motivation it really eased/eliminated the struggles of it. Thank you Edna!

    - Alicia T.

  • The first time I ever spoke with Ms. Ednalyna I was such an emotional mess! I was struggling with milk production after giving birth. She listened and her words were both very encouraging and very comforting. She truly understands what other moms are going through. Although I could not continue to pursue my goal due to personal circumstances, I know I would have achieved my ultimate breastfeeding goal with Ms. Ednalyna's help. If I should give birth and be in need of lactation services again, I would definitely approach Ms. Ednalyna all over! I hope that she continues to make her outstanding services available to all moms out there! You can tell that this is not just her job. It is her passion!

    - Mommy Helen

  • As a new mom for the first time, I was not ready nor did I know anything about breastfeeding. I was given Edna's number to contact since she is a lactation consultant. I didn't know her but I texted her one day and she was so helpful not even knowing who I was. She woukd occasionally check up on me and do whatever she can to help me get through the hard part of breastfeeding. With multiple clogged ducts, she was always there to comfort me and know that things will be okay. I truly appreciate the support because I almost gave up after month 2, and till this day, my daughter is 16 months and we're still breastfeeding her. It's a pure joy and an accomplishment as a mom. Thank you so much Edna for always being there for me!

    - Shizuka

  • I had contacted my lactation consultant about having difficulties with pumping and milk supply, but at the time she was unable to meet and so she forwarded my concerns to Edna from The Birth Tribe Guam. Edna immediately reached out to me and offered her help and I just have to say that she was gracious every step of the way. At the end of it, I felt empowered and relieved. It resulted in better pumping sessions and a steady increase in my milk supply. It’s been a pleasure working with Edna as she is always responsive and such a wealth of knowledge! She is a literal Earth Angel!

    - Rachel A.

  • Throughout my pregnancy I wasn’t sure if I’d breastfeed. It mainly stemmed from doubts and concerns. But on the day baby Mason initially latched on, I knew then that I’d push those worries aside. The first few months of breastfeeding was tough. The only people I initially reached out to was baby Mason’s pediatrician and my cousin. My cousin knew I needed more support so she told me to reach out to Edna Martin. My cousin knew first hand what I was going through (she is a mom of 2) and she mentioned to me how Edna has helped her in so many ways. I wished I reached out to Edna sooner. I was so thankful for her advice and guidance whenever I reached out. She is so knowledgeable and is always willing to offer support. I am so appreciative and grateful for her and the services she offers. We definitely need more people like her in the community.

    - Mayuel T.

  • Ms. Edna was always so patient with us. My husband and I went in twice for counseling, as our baby was not latching well. She made us feel very comfortable both times as soon as we stepped foot in the room. She had a very calm attitude about everything. She was very informative-giving us lots of advice and answering all our questions. Additionally, she shared some tenchniques to not only help our baby, but myself as well, feel more at ease while nursing. She would let us know what she was going to do prior to doing it and was very gentle with handling our baby when shifting her positions. What I appreciated most were her personal stories that she shared with us. It was comforting to know that even a professional experienced challenges throughout her breastfeeding journey. Today, our baby is doing great with breastfeeding and my husband and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the help. I would definitely recommend Ms. Edna to anyone struggling with breastfeeding.

    - Imahrey P.

  • Edna has been such an amazing support for me and so many women during my birthing preparations and throughout my breastfeeding. It’s so crazy to think that we have so little time as new mothers, but she has always made the time to give herself to other women (including myself) to assist in them in their times of need! In my experience the birthing preparation classes she gave online we’re crucial to my experience with my provider and knowing my rights as a patient. She also gave me the empowerment I needed to know that my body is doing what it is literally built to do naturally, that it will all be ok despite if my birth plan worked out or not. It’s so important for mother’s to have a safe space to talk about their fears difficulty and concerns equally as much as the joys and successes of motherhood. Edna has provided and enhanced this space. Especially in the times i was struggling to breastfeed, she came in as support and offered me advice that allowed me to successfully breastfeed my son for 8 months and counting! I really owe the grace I have with myself to the support and safe pace she’s made available to me. Thank you so much Edna!

    - Giana S.

  • I'm very grateful for Edna's support during my early days of breastfeeding. With just one day notice, she didn't hesitate to meet me at my home the day after I was discharged from hospital to answer all my questions and concerns about latching techniques. I was very concerned that my daughter was not getting enough milk. Edna verified my breastfeeding techniques and gave me the confidence and support to continue breastfeeding. She also followed up multiple times in the next days to make sure all my questions are answered. I'm now at 6 months after birth and exclusively breastfeeding my daughter. It has been a successful and happy experience thanks to Edna's kind support in those early days. She is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated and I'm very grateful for her help.

    - Kasia

  • My husband and I were elated when we met Edna. This is our first baby and we were struggling. No one really prepared us about breastfeeding. I didn’t even know we should take classes. My baby was already eight weeks old and we decided to see Edna based on a mutual friends experience. My husband and I decided to have a consultation with her. We really appreciated prior to meeting her. Edna wanted to be prepared, she asked us questions and wanted us to address the issues we were having before going in. During these Pandemic times and worried about our child, we thought the process was very safe and best way! The consultation from beginning to end was very comforting. Edna took her time to asses us and was helpful in the areas we addressed. We were blown away with some of the smallest recommendations, that worked so quickly in our consultation. She was very knowledgeable, she offered us helpful advice while being patient and very understanding to what we were going through. I would recommend to take her classes and see her before giving birth. I’m sure I would’ve been prepared if I’d done so from the beginning. However, the brief time my husband and I met with her, we left feeling confident in breastfeeding and no longer felt like we were feeding blind.

    - John, Ale, and Stassi

  • Edna was great to work with. As a first time mom I wasn’t sure what I was doing was right and if the pain I was experiencing was normal. Edna was very reassuring and comforting as she gave pointers and demonstrated exercises I could do with my infant to relax her jaw muscles. After only two sessions I already felt confident in our feedings and was able to enjoy the process.

    -Lauren

  • She’s AMAZING. I couldn’t have done it without her. So knowledgeable about everything pregnancy/giving birth/breastfeeding/baby related. She does it all.

    - Nina

  • Edna was very patient and gentle when providing knowledgeable information. As a new and first time mom, stress can run high when your little one isn't latching. Edna was there to provide comfort and support giving me reassurance and positive feedback when needed. I felt like Edna really cares and was very personable throughout my latching journey.

What Doula clients are saying.

  • I love how close you get with us pregnant mama's. So it's not like a doctor but feels like a friend there beside you which I greatly appreciate

    - ‪‪❤︎

  • Edna at The Birth Tribe LLC is great! From the first email to my labor Edna has always been kind and a joy to have around. She offers many services and was very knowledgeable, we purchased her at home birthing class also and loved it. She helped a lot during my labor as well i don't think i would have gotten through my long labor without her <3 very thankful to come across an awesome person! And she's great with pets :D

    — Elizabeth H.

  • We absolutely adore Edna. She was a tremendous help during our 3rd pregnancy and labor. Edna is FULL of wonderful information and incredibly resourceful. I recommend booking with her the MINUTE you discover you're pregnant.

    - Fallon L.

  • I am truly grateful for the incredible support I received from Edna Martin throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment our paths crossed, she became a constant source of encouragement, providing not just guidance for me but also support for my boyfriend during the more challenging moments of labor and delivery. Edna's warmth and approachability made it so easy to connect with her. Her presentations were clear and insightful, allowing us to feel prepared and informed. Although she wasn’t present for the actual birth, her follow-up after the delivery was so thoughtful. She checked in to ensure that both my baby and I were doing well, demonstrating her genuine care and dedication. Reflecting on my experience, I can confidently say that if I were to become pregnant again, I would love the opportunity to partner with Edna once more. She truly made a difference in our journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable doula. Thank you, Edna, for everything!

    - Josiel M.

  • Edna is incredible in every way. She helped me physically and emotionally especially during a very intense week before we had our baby. She came to my side at 1, 2am multiple times to give me strength and guidance. While at the hospital I had to get an emergency c section 40 mins after walking in. She rushed to our side and made ALL the phone calls to both sides of our families as I was quickly being wheeled in the operating room and we had no time to let anyone know. She calmly told everyone what was going on, and reassured them that we were going to be ok. She took charge over everything we were worried during that scary time, and she was there after when I woke up to check on us and give her love and support.We were absolutely blessed to have this woman with us and I am grateful to still have her in our lives. She is a life long friend that I am forever indebted to. Anyone that has the privilege of working with her is absolutely lucky in every way.

    — Renee C.

  • I’d like to take a moment to give praise to Edna for all the beautiful work she has done. Edna played such an important role in our labor and birthing process. From educating us on what to expect on game day to helping me get through contractions with back massages, breathing and physical exercises, and lovely words of encouragement. Her loving, caring, and patient demeanor made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the whole labor experience. I truly believe that her presence and support helped me stick to my birthing plan, and gratefully, I was able to deliver my baby girl all natural with no epidural. Having a doula as part of our labor support team was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Not many people highlight how tough the labor process can be on the birthing mom’s support team, so I’m glad that my husband and my mom found comfort in knowing that Edna would step in when guidance or help was needed. They both felt empowered and confident throughout the whole labor process as they both knew that Edna had their back. Edna not only helped us at home and at the hospital during labor, but she came over a week after the birth to offer support and assistance in breastfeeding techniques and other areas of concern. She’s truly a rockstar! I can say a million great things about Edna, but I’ll finish this review by saying thank you to the best doula we know. Edna, we will never forget your love, support, and kindness. Thank you for being there for us on literally one of the best days of our lives. 💛

    — Laura M.

  • Edina is the best doula anyone can ever ask for. I was doing my research on tik tok and I was scared being my first pregnancy and she was able to help me every step of the way. Providing a choice of online classes or her even coming to your home. We had a birth plan sheet and also told us the differences in giving birth. When I had a c section she waited for me and was there to provide support. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Has a great heart of gold

    - Princess R

  • My experience with Edna was unlike anything I ever experienced. She has this calmness and nurturing touch and vibe to her, it’s like she makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. She’s sweet and so passionate at her job and patient. Whenever I needed her she was there and made me feel at peace. I would do it 50times over again as long as she is by my side. I highly recommend her services cause you won’t regret it. I’m just sooo thankful I was able to experience Edna energy and love and be able to have her by my side during this time. She will forever hold a special place in my heart 💜

    - Iasia W.

  • Edna was fantastic. She was always available for advice or reassurance and always answered quickly. Thanks for being there to support me through pregnancy, delivery and postpartum it made all the difference

    - Damara S.

  • Best experience ever, highly recommend the birth tribe for first time mothers & mothers expecting in general. I had no family just me & my childs father with our doula Ednalyna. Ednalyna helped me throughout my pregnancy & labor. I was able to contact her anytime I had concerns , in labor for less then 16 hours no complications. Stayed home for 8 hours due to the support of my doula so I showered, ate dinner , & slept unmedicated while in labor. Everyone experience will be different because everyone has different decisions but it all starts in the mind! As women God has prepared us for bringing life in to this world

    - Chasity B.

  • Do not hesitate to hire Edna as your doula. From our first phone call to holding my baby in my arms, I felt so comfortable in Edna’s care. She works with your partner and gets them involved. Her experience was invaluable as she anticipates your every need and works with your birth plan- which she can help create with you if needed. The pain was never bad enough to warrant pain relieving medication or an epidural thanks to techniques she practiced. And recovery was quick because of it. She is worth her weight in gold!

    - Angela C.

  • Edna is the best doula you could ask for. She is a very caring, compassionate, and sweet person all around. Unfortunately, I had an unplanned induction and Edna wasn’t able to attend my baby’s birth but she sent a very sweet back up doula. My husband and I loved working with her and we recommend her to everyone who is pregnant.

    - Hailey A.

  • I realized in my own journey that women aren’t familiar with having a doula. If you stumble across my review, please don’t think twice about having Edna as your doula! Reach out to her now! She is extremely compassionate and comes with so much knowledge! I met with Edna a week prior into going into labor unexpectedly and she was the voice in my head that gave me the courage and confidence to deliver my son the way I envisioned my labor experience to be! As a single first time mom, who for the most part experienced my pregnancy alone, a specific experience that touched me deeply was when my son was born, Edna stepped right in took my phone and began capturing photos of him. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have had some of my most cherished memories to look back on! My little sister, who is a nurse btw, was the only one with me during my delivery. She has never experienced labor and even she was extremely grateful for Enda because we would have both been completely lost if it wasn’t for her. Thank you Enda, you were the other sister I never realized I needed during the most beautiful moment of my life!!New List Item

  • I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Edna. From the very beginning, she made me feel so supported, informed, and empowered. She was there every step of the way, answering all my questions, easing my anxieties, and truly listening to my wishes and needs. Her calming presence and gentle encouragement made a world of difference during my labor and delivery. She provided not only physical comfort but also emotional reassurance, which helped me stay focused and strong. I felt so lucky to have her by my side. She has a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach that made the entire birth experience so much more positive and memorable. I would highly recommend Edna to anyone looking for a doula who is truly committed to supporting and uplifting you on your journey. Thank you for everything!

    - Iva D.

  • Hiring a doula was the best decision I made for my birth experience. She was so supportive and knowledgeable and really helped me advocate for myself. My labor was short, but on the worst mental moments, she stayed by my side. I feel so much better with her support, offering encouragement and practical tips. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her! I highly recommend her to any expecting parent. Thanks Edna 🫶🏻✨️ My family remembers you with gratitude

    - Maribel

  • I appreciate you taking me in even though it was short notice and still giving me tools and resources I was able to use during my labor even though you couldn’t physically be there. I also appreciate you being available by phone it really meant a lot.

    - Rekhia O.

  • Edna is a great person inside and out. As her background of being a mother she finds away anytime of day and day to provide service for her clients. What she did well was Provide educational services especially for I being a first time mom. I was under stress, not knowing to do and she offered educational classes and bounding time with my child father online. You went out above and beyond for us and showed up at the very last minute. Thank you so much for all you do ❤️

  • I am incredibly grateful for my experience with Edna. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and supported, and her extensive knowledge in her work was evident. What truly stood out was her genuine care and advocacy for me during my labor. She stood up for my wishes and ensured my voice was heard, making all the difference in my journey. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled doula!

    - Sarah

  • For me, it was the initial phone conversation, although it was late, you were present to hear all about me. I felt safe to be able to express my emotions even if I didn’t know how to process them. You were very transparent about your schedule. You helped us craft our birthing plan and was there to ensure that it was implemented.

    - Brandi A.

  • My experience was wonderful. I asked last minute because all others fell threw and I didn't really have support. So being taken on last minute gave me do much comfort and stress relief. I love how informative you are and how you saw when I was stressed but didn't say anything you stepped up and spoke up for me. I also really like how it feels like a long time friend or family member than just a stranger. Your warm and welcoming and give your patience what they need. So again thank you.

  • Edna was there for me in my time of need.
