Zo Etkin Somatic Coach & Bodyworker

Zoe’s services were helpful from the day we signed up with her to finally feeling comfortable as a mom with our newborn. We used her package with the birthing class, day of doula, and postpartum care. My husband and I felt very confident going into the birthing process after taking the birthing class. Zoe was supportive and sweet anytime she was assisting throughout all the stages of the pregnancy and after the birth. The postpartum care was incredible as a first time mom trying to grasp all the new things to understand and learn. It was amazing having someone there to answer any questions we had and also help take care of me and the baby. Her massages were wonderful and was soothing with the baby anytime I needed a little break. She is a bright spirited woman, who has a lot of experience in this field.

Zoe is phenomenal at her job! She helped me postpartum in a few different areas and I cannot imagine anyone more informative in every area of pregnancy and postpartum. She listens and gives the best advice. I have recommended her to so many people and will continue to do so! Give her a call and talk to her, and I guarantee you’ll hire her in a second!

Working with Zoe has been life changing for me. She managed to combine doula mentorship, life coaching and somatic practices under one umbrella to help me recognize my patterns and move forward with confidence in all areas. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and holds a safe space.

Where do I even begin? Zoe was an absolute godsend to me throughout my fertility/pregnancy/birth/postpartum journey. I like to think of myself as a happy medium with eastern and western medicine: I knew that I wanted to give birth in a hospital, have an epidural - but I wanted a doula to help me mind/body/spirit prepare for this incredible journey. Zoe wonderfully catered to me, helped to educate me, and met me where I was with love and understanding.I initially contacted Zoe after trying 6 months to get pregnant with no success. I had voiced my concerns to my OBGYN at Adams Patterson who just disregarded it because it had been less than a year and I was under 35. I dont care if youve been trying for months, years -- its still painful to not get that plus sign on the pregnancy test. So, I decided to contact Zoe as a first step. She listened to me, reassured me, comforted me. She walked me through a holistic, healthy way to get pregnant - and helped me prep my mind, body, and spirit to house a new baby. I soon became pregnant after working with her for two months. I was over the moon - and surprisingly terrified. I wanted this so badly - but now ... what?I worked with Zoe throughout my pregnancy taking her childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum, and baby care classes. I also saw her for coaching throughout my pregnancy. Due to COVID, all of my classes were online - and Zoe did a great job keeping the classes fun and informative -- as well as comfort me as a first time mama giving birth during a health epidemic.Ladies -- hear this, too: she also consistently checked in on my husband. She made him feel a part of the process - which helped us to bond and prepare for our little ones arrival. My husband didnt quite understand why I needed a doula - but after working with Zoe throughout the pregnancy, he was very comforted and thankful to have her support.Then came the birth. Zoe worked with our hospital (Baptist) to submit the correct paperwork so that she could work with us and be present despite COVID19. THANK YOU, GOD, that Zoe was there. I ended up being induced 8 days past my due date - progressed quickly - completely dilated - but my babys head went transverse at the end - and she ended up being wedged in my right side. After pushing for 3 hours, I had to have an emergency c-section. I didnt have my mom with me. I clung to my husbands hand. Honestly, I had never been more scared in my life. Zoe comforted my husband and me during a very long day of labor and unexpected outcomes -- and she helped to communicate with my very worried family that couldnt be present due to COVID.We also worked with Zoe postpartum. Zoe came over and helped me with the basics that my tired/sleep deprived brain couldnt comprehend: breast pumps, bottles, swaddles, baby carriers. Zoe took care of me in a time where I had forgotten how to take care of myself and this new little precious baby. She was always available on text, too, for questions, worries, concerns as a new mama.I cannot recommend having Zoe enough. She is such a gift to Memphis. Before I got pregnant, I knew that I wanted to work with a doula. Im so thankful that I listened to my intuition and found Zoe -- even before COVID19 hit. Zoe has made me a stronger woman - learning to advocate for myself, family, and new baby. Trust your gut as youre reading this review and hire Zoe. You will be so grateful.

I had a hard time finding someone to work on my c-section scar post partum. Zoe is the only one who is excellent at addressing it and oh my scar has felt much more flexible after she worked on it. I am so thankful to have found her.

Excellent doula! Zoe was totally supportive of all my birth choices and my birth plan, and she helped me have the birth I wanted while working well with the doctors too. She also worked for us as a postpartum overnight doula which was positively life changing. Highly recommend!

If you are debating whether or not you need a postpartum doula, stop debating and hire Zoe. She is caring, compassionate and highly knowledgeable . As a new mother with twins, I would have been lost without her. She came in and instantly helped me feel more confident caring for my girls. Zoe also made sure that I took care of myself. She is a wonderful person and I give her the highest of recommendations.

Zoe is amazing! She truly has a heart to see moms get out of their own way, speak to the known struggles and support women through it. She’s a hidden Memphis gem!

I absolutely loved having Zoë for postpartum support and as a doula mentor. She guided me through my transition into mothering 2 via vaginal steaming, foot massage, abdominal massage and belly binding. Then has guided me into my doula career. She’s the best!!

I hired Zoë to ghost write several blogs for my birth business. Her command of the subject matter resulted in expertly written blogs that have received tremendous praise from colleagues and clients alike. Zoë was prompt and professional to work with.
