Barbara Maxey Postpartum Doula in Newport Beach, CA

Barbara was an amazing support for my family in the first weeks of our daughters arrival. She came over the evening we got home from the hospital and because of her I was not anxious to bring my baby home and not know what to do. I had her to ask questions, give support and be an extra set of hands. In the few weeks Barbara was in our home, she made sure my main focus was being with my baby and healing my body. She aided in nourishing my body with healthy snacks, drinks and meals as well as taught me the reasons behind the healing properties certain ingredients had. There were countless times I didn’t need to ask for help on things around the house, Barbara would be one step ahead of me already doing it. This created a great flow between the two of us. The advice and knowledge that Barbara gave my family eased our mind many times. My husband was able to return to work knowing that baby and I were well taken care of and supported. Her support exceeded my expectations of what a postpartum doula brings to your family. Thank you Barbara for the wonderful experience. You helped our family in the best way possible.

I was looking for overnight care for my newborn son and luckily I was matched up with Barbara. Since this was my first time ever using help, I was anxious to find someone that could be reliable and patient and Barbara did not disappoint. She was always prompt and communicative. Not only was she looking after my son, tending to his needs for feeding or changing, she was also someone I could talk to you about how I was feeling about my recovery. She even made me a Lavender blend for a foot bath, which was so relaxing. At the end of every shift, she will send me a log of my son’s activities, which was very helpful. I would definitely recommend her to any families looking for some help.

My husband and I felt overwhelmed when we brought our daughter home from the hospital so we sought out a postpartum doula. Barbara was very pleasant and helped ease my and my husband's anxiety as new parents. We trusted her to take good care of our daughter and she helped in ways I wouldn't have expected. She met and exceeded my expectations for a postpartum doula. She provided us reassurance that we were taking good care of our baby (our primary anxiety) and gave us good advice. We are picky eaters and she also suggested and cooked food for us that we enjoyed. If my husband and I ever have another baby we will be reaching out to her again.
