There are truly not enough words to express how grateful we are for Barbara. Bringing home a newborn for the second time, I thought I knew what to expect but postpartum is still such a vulnerable, emotional and exhausting season. Having Barbara with our family for the last 2.5 months completely changed our experience in the best possible way. From the very beginning, Barbara brought such a calming, nurturing, and reassuring presence into our home. She cared for our daughter with so much love, gentleness, patience, and attentiveness that it immediately gave me peace as a new postpartum mom. She didn’t just help with our baby but she cared for me, too which is something I will never forget. Barbara has such a gift with newborns and our girl genuinely became a happier, more settled, more content baby under her care and guidance. Barbara helped us establish healthy routines, taught us so many helpful techniques, and always approached everything with such confidence and warmth. Even during hard nights or moments when I felt overwhelmed emotionally or physically, Barbara never made me feel judged or incapable. Instead, she encouraged me, reassured me, and helped build my confidence as a mother during one of the most emotional seasons of life. Because of Barbara, I was able to heal postpartum more peacefully, get more rest, feel more emotionally supported, and truly enjoy these precious newborn months instead of just surviving them. She helped create calm in our home during a time that can otherwise feel chaotic and exhausting. I honestly can say I am a better, stronger, more confident mom because of her support. Not only is Barbara incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she is also deeply compassionate and intuitive. She became such a trusted part of our family, and having her in our home never once felt intrusive but rather comforting, safe, and supportive. She treated our daughter with the same tenderness and care that family would. Watching someone love and care for your baby in the middle of postpartum is incredibly emotional, and Barbara gave us the greatest gift: peace of mind. Knowing our baby was in such loving, capable hands allowed me to breathe again. We will forever look back on this season with gratitude because of Barbara. Any family would be beyond blessed to have her support during the newborn stage. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Jennie was wonderfully supportive throughout my pregnancy and birth. Her gentle spirit eased my fears and prepared me for labor. When my birth plan shifted, she helped me weigh my options and supported my decisions at every step. She truly transformed an unpredictable experience into a positive, empowering one.

I had a wonderful experience with Tremaine. Before hiring her I was very nervous and she helped me prepare for labor mentality, emotionally and physically. My hospital birth was great all thanks to her. She really helped me a lot during labor by using aromatherapy, massage, positive affirmation, and guiding me on movements to help me cope with contractions. After labor she continued checking on me and gave me great advice that helped me heal. I recommend Tremaine because she has very caring, helpful and knowledgeable.

My experience was working with Jay as my postpartum doula after the birth of my third baby. I had never worked with a doula before, and after my previous postpartum experiences, I now know how invaluable that kind of support truly is. After my third child was born, I thought I had everything under control, but the postpartum period still brought challenges I wasn’t fully prepared for. She provided such a calm, knowledgeable presence that made all the difference. From helping me establish a breastfeeding routine to offering emotional support when I felt overwhelmed, she was the anchor I didn’t realize I needed. Unlike my previous postpartum experiences, this time I didn’t feel isolated or unsure. She checked in on me regularly, made sure I was taking care of myself, and offered practical tips for balancing my recovery while caring for my newborn and older children. What really stood out was her genuine care for me as a whole person, not just as a mother or caregiver. She ensured I had moments to rest and recharge, which was something I struggled with before. Her support was more than just physical help i was emotional, mental, and holistic. I felt heard, cared for, and reassured every step of the way. I can honestly say that having her as part of my postpartum journey made this time completely different from my past experiences, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

We are incredibly grateful to have had Rosangela as our doula during our baby’s first month of life. From day one, she was punctual, reliable, and—most importantly—exceptionally caring with our newborn. Rosangela supported us for four weeks and was flexible with her schedule, even accommodating our request for a later start. When her assignment with us was coming to an end, she went above and beyond by helping us find a second doula to ensure continuity of care as well as training that doula to ensure no disruption. Even after rolling off, she has continued to check in with us, offering guidance and thoughtful support, which has meant so much during the postpartum period. During her time with us, Rosangela supported night feedings by gently waking both mom and baby, assisted with latching, burped the baby, and handled diaper changes throughout feeds. She supported our baby’s first bath, helped with baby laundry, and took care of all breast pump setup and cleanup—assembling parts, washing them, and making sure everything was ready for the next pumping session. These details made an enormous difference during those early, exhausting weeks. She consistently offered helpful advice and reassurance, always in a respectful way that made us feel supported rather than directed. Rosangela brought a calm, nurturing presence into our home, and we truly felt that our baby was in loving, experienced and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Rosangela to any family looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dependable doula. She was an invaluable part of our postpartum journey.

Laura helped us take care of our baby for the first 6-16 weeks of his life. She took such great care of him and helped us develop healthy sleep habits for him early on, as well as diagnose issues and troubleshoot regressions as they came up (and there are a lot of them in that first year!). She was also so easy to work with, and very understanding of how difficult these early weeks can be on the parents. I would give Laura ten stars on here if I could!

Brandalyn was my postpartum doula for both pregnancies, with my kids 16 months apart, and it made a major difference. She supported my recovery, helped me establish routines, and gave me practical help when I didn’t know what to do next. More than anything, she helped me feel steady and supported so I could actually rest and heal instead of constantly falling behind. I’m grateful for her support and would recommend her care to anyone navigating the intensity of newborn life.

As a first-time mother in a new country, I was looking for a doula who could guide me through the birth process with understanding and care. Sitra provided just that. From our initial meetings, she made sure I felt comfortable and informed about my options, and during labor, her calm and professional presence was exactly what I needed. She was attentive to my needs, advocating for me and ensuring that I felt safe at every step. After the birth, Sitra also offered helpful support with breastfeeding, giving me the confidence I needed as I adjusted to life with my newborn. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled doula.

Lianne has been helping me since my youngest was a few months old and I went back to work. She has been a godsend for us, essentially “being me” while I was home so I could focus on the baby, nursing, and soaking up that precious time. She prepared insanely delicious meals that were nurturing (even my 5 year old enjoyed them!) kept things tidy and helped me make all of my apts on time and without stress. Now that my baby is a little older she still offers to lend a helping hand and has forged a beautiful relationship with both my children. She really fit into the family seamlessly. She knows what needs to be done, helps intuitively without being asked, and is always thinking of how to support and nurture those in her care. She’s one in a million and I can’t speak more highly of her

Jala did an exceptional job at emotionally supporting me as a first time mom. She did an amazing job at caring for my newborn while I got rest. She was great when it came to helping me prepare before, during and after labor. She is such a kind soul and so gentle. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else helping me in my journey. My house was always so clean when Jala was helping out too! I loved it. She also always light a nice candle or burned sage (which was one of my requests) in the house. She is definitely apart of the family!

Annika joined our family for 2 months with our second baby and her help was such a relief for us through the sleepless nights. We had the first 6 weeks covered through our insurance and ended up extending her 2 more weeks out of pocket. Annika was easy to work with in terms of extending the contract -- and luckily she had another client after us otherwise we may have continued booking for another 3 months! During those months she actually helped us identify that our daughter was having silent reflux. Long story short, our baby ended up having multiple tongue ties that we got revised and wouldn't have figured out so quickly without Annika's recommendation to get her looked at! She never claimed to have expertise in areas she didn't know about and always guided us towards someone who did. Since the tongue ties were revised I was able to continue my breastfeeding journey. Annika was always on time, eager to help, wore a mask around our baby (I didn't know what she looked like without one until one of our last nights!) and sent detailed notes at the end of each night. I loved being able to know what happened throughout the night between feeding sessions even when someone else was holding my baby. I had never had a doula before but if I ever have a third child I will make sure that Annika is available. Not only are her services top notch, she is a lovely person to be around and so sweet. We love Annika and recommend her 100%!

Judith was the night nurse for our twins from 0-3 months, and from the day we came home from the hospital she taught us not only how to get the twins to sleep at night (and not wake up), but also how to care for them during the day. She set us up with eating and sleeping schedules that would best benefit their nighttime sleep patterns, and advised us on which swaddles, white noise machines, formulas, and bottles to buy. Her expertise helped us in so many ways. She was quick to notice a couple of dietary issues the twins had, which saved us days if not weeks of nonstop crying babies. She was calm and confident and professional, and by the end of her 12-week period with us the twins were regularly sleeping through the night. Judith made the first weeks of our twins’ lives exponentially more manageable and we highly recommend her.

Sabrina is a star. She took just thoughtful, empathetic care of our little one and we still appreciate it immensely. She was also a helpful resource and emotional support during some breastfeeding troubles. Our guy was also born a few weeks early underweight, and we trusted Sabrina fully to give him the care he needed. We are forever grateful, and you can be too! Book Sabrina!

Private Postpartum Doula/ Sleeping Training D.S. October 2024 - The first two years I worked full time taking care of the twins. Provided postpartum infant care by supporting mother with newborn babies - assisted with feeding, diaper changing, bathing, dressing, sleep training, setting up babies' schedule as children grew. Additional house support included laundry, cooking and light cleaning. As they grew, the following two years I worked part-time, transporting them to and from school, helping with homework and projects, preparing healthy meals, taking care of their laundry. Nowadays I am still their nanny when the family needs something extra. Private

Mara was wonderful!!! I was such a hormonal mess getting home from the hospital, and Mara helped me so much. I was afraid to let anyone hold my baby, but Mara was an exception. She was trustworthy in every way. She was a warm presence in our home. I also credit my baby sleeping through the night to Mara's nightly tending to him. She taught him patience and self-settling. I'm very grateful!
