“Chloe Direkes is one of the most emotionally capable human beings I've ever known. She has an uncanny ability to make hard conversations and edgy explorations feel safe and relieving. One of the things that makes Chloe's guidance feel so stable is that she clearly trusts the mystery, she helps hold us steady when there is no ground. Chloe navigates unknown territory and frightening thresholds with a mix of strength, deep care, curiosity and gentle humour. She's invitational, intuitive and so skilled at navigating relational dynamics with individuals, groups and families in a way that helps everyone feel seen, heard, safe and brave.”

“I found our conversation and your information to be incredibly clear, concise and direct. It helped us in making our end of life decisions and I want to thank you for this!”

“I've had the unique experience of having Chloe support me through both a pregnancy and birth, as well as a pregnancy termination via medication abortion, both of which took place in the comfort and safety of my home. Chloe was a beacon of support, seamlessly blending invaluable information with genuine empathy and care. Her ability to be present in the most trying moments, whether offering a gentle word of encouragement or anticipating my needs with a well-timed snack, was a true gift.

Chloe's skillful guidance extended beyond logistics and decision-making; she also helped me navigate the complex emotional landscape that accompanied these experiences. Her direct yet loving approach fostered an environment where I felt seen, heard, and empowered to make the best choices for myself.

To have someone like Chloe by your side during life's most vulnerable and transformative moments is an absolute honour. Her dedication, kindness, and unwavering presence make her an exceptional advocate for anyone navigating the world of life and loss experiences.”

“I can't express enough how much of a blessing Chloe was during the first few weeks after the birth of my twins. In fact, she was there the day we brought them home from the hospital.  Having her there made that first evening less stressful and more manageable.  Chloe brought an incredible sense of calm, warmth, and support into our home and I couldn't have navigated the first few months without her.

She helped with everything—feeding advice, soothing techniques, sleep routines, and most importantly, taking the time to care for me too. She was always there with exactly what I needed.  She even reconnected with me when the twins were 7 months and we spent the afternoon making homemade organic baby food.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chloe as a postpartum doula as she ensured my twins and I were well taken care of every step of the way.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Chloe in her role as a birth doula, at BC Women’s hospital. I was consistently impressed by her warm and steady presence with her clients, as well her maturity. I felt she particularly stood out in terms of her communication skills, oftentimes in emotionally heightened or challenging situations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”

“Chloe Dierkes possesses an extraordinary ability to embrace deep vulnerability while maintaining absolute professionalism. In some of the most significant moments in my life she showed up with reliability and vibrancy. Her commitment to staying present through both death and birth is a gift to anyone fortunate enough to work with her.”

“I cannot express just how fundamental Chloe was for my mental health after I brought my newborn, premature twins home from the hospital. We met with Chloe mid way through my twin pregnancy, to discuss expectations and desires for post delivery care of the twins and of me. She was concise with her questions, and both parties were clear with our contract of employment. Chloe is extremely capable with newborns, she is also highly capable of dealing with new mothers. She stepped back into our lives within days of coming home. I remember vividly being in bed, overwhelmed, crying, trying to catch just 2min of sleep, and Chloe coming into the bedroom, sitting next to me and stroking my hair for all of a minute before disappearing and coming back with a cup of tea and eggs on toast. From that moment on, life was again manageable. Chloe, without taking up a huge emotional footprint, just put love and manageability back into our lives. She easily showed us how to care for newborns. And how to care for ourselves within this new stage of life. Feeding, bathing, sleeping, swaddling, a million things in all. A safe and trusted confidant. Having Chloe by my side gave me my courage back. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but incredibly kind, gentle, and intuitive. 1000% recommend her help!”

“Since taking Chloe’s three part Willow Workshop series last year, my relationship with death and the dead has shifted so much. I have connected to my parents in a more authentic way, I have reached out to father flung family, and danced with the dead. Thank you!”
