Beverleigh was a great support for me during the end of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She provided a lot of knowledge and useful information. She has a very nurturing presence and always made me feel comfortable. During labor her knowledge helped me weigh my choices for medical intervention and she was a calming presence. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a birth or postpartum doula.

Beverly was absolutely wonderful. She was very nurturing with me and my daughter and I always felt at ease when she was present. I am very appreciative of the time and effort that she took to each day to help as I was healing and allowing me ample space to connect with my newborn.

I cannot say enough positive things about what an amazing and kind soul Beverleigh is. She took care of both of my girls as a full time nanny from the time that they were newborns and looked after them as if they were her own daughters. She is warm, calm, patient and professional. She is intuitive to your family needs. She was always punctual and very proactive with her communication. She went above and beyond the expectations of her role to took great pride in her work. She was firm with my girls when needed but always had lots of affection and hugs for them too. When we moved farther away we were so sad to lose her. We still keep in touch with her and she will always be family to us.

Bev has so much experience and a wealth of knowledge that was so reassuring to have around in my early postpartum. Bev talked with me and helped ease my new mother nerves and took wonderful care of my baby so I could sleep. If you’re lucky enough to add on services she is also an amazing cook, nothing tastes better than her Shepherds Pie or Porridge. I would highly recommend Bev for any of your postpartum needs.

Beverleigh was a night nanny for us and did an absolutely wonderful job. Incredibly knowledgeable and helped our daughter get into a great rhythm and allowed us to get some much needed sleep. She was reliable and brought such a lovely attitude. We would highly recommend her.

We met Beverleigh through a friend who worked with her. We couldn't have gotten through the newborn phase without her! I felt like I was able to be a better mom because I wasn't exhausted. When I got pregnant with my second child, Beverleigh was the first person I called because we knew we needed her again! She's cared for so many babies so I really relied on her advice. To this day I will still reach out for her thoughts on things. If I have another baby, I would definitely work with her again!

Beverleigh was my saving grace during the postpartum days! She was a wealth of knowledge especially as first time parents. She is so trustworthy, friendly, compassionate, and someone I call a friend now. She treated my son as if he was her own child and I couldn't be more thankful and grateful to have worked with her. She is truly an angel who will love and take care of your child while you get some much needed rest and recovery! We can't wait to hire Beverleigh again one day for a second baby.
