Becoming a first-time mom to twins was one of the most overwhelming and life-changing experiences of my life. I honestly don’t know how I would have navigated those early months without the support of my postpartum doula, Aneya. From the very beginning, Aneya created a calm and reassuring environment that helped me gain confidence in my abilities as a new mother. Having two newborns at once can feel intimidating, but her support helped make the transition into motherhood much easier. One of the most helpful things she did was assist with my twins’ routines. Aneya cared for them, helped keep them settled, and made sure they were bathed and well cared for. Knowing my babies were safe, nurtured, and in such capable hands allowed me to focus on my responsibilities and duties as a new mom. She also helped me establish routines and provided support during a time when many new mothers feel overwhelmed. Because of her help, I was able to gain confidence and feel more comfortable caring for my twins. What truly stands out about Aneya is her compassion, patience, and dedication to the families she supports. She has a natural ability to make mothers feel supported and at ease during such an important transition. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Aneya as their postpartum doula. Her support made a meaningful difference in my experience as a new mother, and I would highly recommend her to any new or expecting parents.

Aneya was an amazing support throughout my pregnancy. She helped me create my baby registry and provided so much helpful information about prenatal supplements, breastfeeding, and pumping. Her consistent check-ins and thoughtful guidance made me feel truly supported and prepared as I got ready to welcome my baby girl.

Aneya Smith is a remarkable woman of God, not only in the church but involving herself with friends and family outside of church but by performing assistance in being a doula for my children. She’s also very interactive with them to the point she has tons of toys, books, and musical equipment to help grow and strengthen their intellectual curiosity. Also with substantial cleanliness she ensures that the children are fed and changed. Her hours of operation are very reasonable and can be very flexible within reason. My overall experience of Aneya has been truly remarkable, not only for her kindness and generosity of caring for my children, it has also brought me peace in knowing my children are safe in her care with her dedication and love to them. I appreciate her effective communication, thoroughness and ensuring their well being is in great hands. In conclusion, I rate Aneya’s professionalism 10 out of 10 and if I were to ever needed her I’d use her services again knowing my children are safe and well taken care of in the hands of Aneya. Again I appreciate the love and care she puts into her line of work. Not only is it a job but it is a sacrifice to help raise children that are not of her decent. And that is a true commitment and service not only to me but to the Lord.

I really enjoyed how Aneya was very attentive to my personal needs! I'm bad at asking for help, but Aneya paid attention & stepped in when I needed her. I appreciated all the information she gave & her patience when asking her all of my questions. Lastly, I love how she handled my son with so much care! She treated him as if he was her own.
