I don't even know if I can truly put into words just how thankful I am for Andie and her family of doulas at Little Blue Elephant... but I'll try. Being a new mum to a beautiful little girl, living on the other side of the world with no village, support or family and a husband that travels weekly for work - it's easy to feel overwhelmed, tired, anxious and honestly, a little bit lonely at times. My husband hiring Andie to help postpartum, has been the best decision we could've possibly made. I often tell Andie that she is a real life angel. Watching her, and honestly, her whole entire family, be so calm, nurturing, attentive and kind to my daughter at every single interaction, always makes me feel so at ease that she is being cared for by the very best while I get a restful night's sleep. The way Andie has held and continues to hold me and my family during postpartum has been nothing short of amazing and I will be forever grateful for her. From advice on c section recovery, feeding, burping, pumping, reflux, gas, bathing, diaper rash, naps, schedules and more - she always goes above and beyond and has always offered a wealth of knowlege, without judgement, while confidently answering any question or concern I may have. Washing and sterilizing bottles and pump parts, folding baby girl's laundry, labeling bottles, feeding and soothing my daughter to sleep throughout the night, changing diapers, administering medicine or cream if needed and taking the time to really check in with me mentally each visit... The care is truly second to none. Andie and her family have become my villiage and I couldn't be any more grateful for each and every one of them. Andie always arrives early and is willing to do an extra shift or stay a little longer or start earlier at short notice if needed... I know that I can always count on her which can be really rare to find. She's super accommodating, incredibly reliable and has amazing communication skills - sending overnight reports via text as soon as she leaves in the morning so I know exactly how my daughter's night went and when she is due to wake, feed and be changed next. Andie truly is just an all round wonderful human to be around and her care extends well beyond just getting a restful night's sleep. I always look forward to having a chat with her when she arrives, not just about giving her updates on my daughter, but as a friend catching eachother up on how the week's been and what is going on in our lives... something that has really been invaluable for my mental health postpartum and living so far away from home and family. Andie is our regular postpartum doula each week but I have also had the pleasure of meeting and working with all the doulas from Little Blue Elephant - Jamie, Ali and Aleks... all of which have been just as wonderful, and I also feel like it needs a mention, that every single one of these ladies have been incredibly kind to our animals too. I will never forget Jamie's kindness the first night of having overnight care. She was warm and kind and sat with me for almost an hour talking about my birth and genuinely wanting to know how I was feeling mentally. She gave me comfort and reassurance when I needed it most and she made me feel so safe that I genuinely felt like I was chatting to an old friend. In between taking care of my daughter and loving on her, she also took the time to make me a personalized Amazon store front so that I could easily look at items to purchase that she felt might help me and my daughter. Since then, Andie has also added to the store front with many other great reccomendations. I appreciated this so much as being a new mum, I didn't have the time to do this myself, nor did I know what I should be looking for. Jamie still checks in every now and then to ask about how my daughter is doing and wishes me happy holidays - and every time it makes me feel so special to be thought of and cared for. She has an incredibly kind heart and what a joy it is to be around her... what a joy it is to be around them all. I cannot sing the praises of each one of these ladies enough. If we get so blessed to have another child, I've already told Andie that I want her by my side for the entire journey - from prenatal to the birth to postpartum. I value and trust Andie and her wonderful family implicitly, and would not only highly reccomend their postpartum doula service, but also every single other service they have to offer. Thank you for absolutely everything, Andie. I literally don't know what I would do without you.

As a husband and father, I’m incredibly grateful for the support our doula provided! From the very beginning, she honored and prioritized our wishes. She approached it with confidence, care, and faith. Her heart for people and her desire to glorify the Lord showed through everything she did. My wife was able to have the birth experience she hoped and prayed for, and I believe a large part of that was due to the support of our doula.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Katie as my doula for my first pregnancy, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her calm and confident demeanor was exactly what I needed during this special time. Katie was an overall loving presence, providing unwavering support and reassurance throughout the entire process. She encouraged changing positions and breath work, which made a significant difference in my comfort and stress levels. Katie made me feel comfortable and empowered every step of the way. Thank you, Katie, for making my first pregnancy such a positive and memorable experience!

Ileana has been taking care of our son part-time since he was 6mo (he just turned 2) and we love her like family. She has the warmth and care that is rare to find and we have been blessed to have her be a part of our baby’s first years. Now our son will be starting school so unfortunately we will no longer need help during the day, but Ileana will always be a part of our lives. I cannot recommend her enough and please reach out if you would like to ask any questions

Having Allison as our night nurse was such a blessing for my husband and I. As first time parents we were nervous to leave our precious newborn with someone new while we tried to get some much needed rest, but from day 1 she was confident, capable, compassionate and kind. Allison was always respectful of our requests, but knew when to offer suggestions based on her experience. We learned so much from her and knew we could ask her anything. It was like having a best friend in your house that helped guide you in a new phase of life and we are forever grateful for her partnership.

Kristin Bunch is a true inspiration and a helpful person. She genuinely cares about how her energy affects others, to a point while she will read the room and I appreciate that. We didn’t always match well with physical touch, as I am a more reserved person who monitors who she allows to touch her. It was different with a doula who loves hugs and being loving at all times, which in the end was all I needed to warm my heart. I swear her personality and persistence makes her a true treasure and an angel to this world. I appreciate and respect you for all you have done for me and my family! Much love, TaMarria

The only word that comes to mind when I think of Dayna is Grateful. She is truly the reason I was able to give birth and deliver our daughter in the way that aligned with us. Our first child's delivery did not happen in the way we wanted even with top natural health and birthing experts in the Miami area and during my second pregnancy we did not know what to do or except. After finding Dayna she helped us work through fears we didn't even realize we had. During the Labor experience she was there guiding us the whole way. As someone who has a hard time trusting anyone I completely trusted her guidance and felt safe having her there with us. This woman knows what she is doing, has more knowledge and experience than anyone i've come across and is an honest keeper of the ancient experience of birth and raising children the way god intended. Just stop, look no further and hire Dayna to help you along your parenting journey, no matter where it begins!
