Jaynie is skilled newborn provider who provides just as much love and support for new parents as she does for newborns! Having her support overnight is a game changer--everyone sleeps better and we never have to worry that our newborn is getting every single need met (and plenty of snuggles!) while she's here. Her ongoing education about caring for our newborn also makes us feel empowered to be the best parents possible. She truly is a life-saver!

Micalyn is an amazing doula and I highly recommend her services. I am forever grateful for her crucial role in making my unmedicated, hospital birth a positive and empowering experience. The prenatal meetings were very in-depth and included healthcare during pregnancy, rehearsal of labor positions, and the construction of a birth plan. Micalyn also provided me with handmade herbal tea and was readily available via phone or text at any time I needed support. Going into my birth, I felt prepared and confident. I was immensely thankful for Micalyn’s presence during my labor and birth. Whether it was conversation or physical touch, her peaceful and loving presence was so appreciated. She made the hospital space as beautiful as possible with Christmas lights near the bed and flameless candles around the bathtub. Micalyn collaborated fabulously with the hospital staff, and everyone was very impressed with her. When I was pushing, she was the one who suggested the position change that immediately resulted in my baby’s delivery. Micalyn was right there by my side when my son quickly entered the world: she called to the midwife to catch him and her shoes got drenched with the birthing fluids! Our postpartum visits were extremely helpful. When my son was a few days old, she came over and taught me how to do things such as put a diaper on and wear a baby wrap. She also brought me another handmade tea for sitz baths, which felt amazing. Micalyn is clearly made for this work and I can’t recommend her doula services highly enough!

Kristin was a god send. She was constantly available and there to answer questions or put my worries to rest. The day I went into labor she was at the hospital so quick, put my husband and I at ease, and even took beautiful photos of the birth (which is what I asked) I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her!

We initially worked with Stacy as a newborn care specialist for postpartum care with our second daughter. Our first contract lasted 8 weeks and we extended beyond. After needing additional support when our second daughter was 9 months old we reconnected and she helped provide trusted care to both our daughters. Stacy is trustworthy, timely, professional and approachable. She is willing to meet you where you are at and and has years of experience and knowledge to support you on your parenting path.

I didn’t meet Annie until I was about 35 weeks pregnant, but from the very beginning, she made me feel completely supported and at ease. Even though we connected late in my pregnancy, she jumped right in with warmth, knowledge, and encouragement that made it feel like she'd been part of my journey all along. When I went into labor, Annie came exactly when I needed her. She met us at the hospital and was an absolute rock throughout the entire process. Her presence was calming, grounding, and so reassuring. She knew just what to say and do to help me stay focused and confident, and she worked beautifully alongside the hospital staff while always prioritizing my comfort and wishes. Having Annie by my side made such a difference. She helped create a birth experience that felt empowering and supported — I truly can’t imagine going through it without her. Thank you, Annie, for being there when I needed you most and for bringing so much care and strength into such an important moment in my life.

Chloe was the most professional, helpful, and trustworthy postpartum doula imaginable. She had a relaxed/thoughtful demeanor, was incredibly competent, and our baby loved spending time with her. She was always one step ahead of our little guy's development, was the perfect addition to our home, and we really couldn't be more grateful.

As the saying goes, it takes a village, and we are grateful that Megan was part of ours. As first-time parents, we were especially grateful for Megan's knowledge and experience. From swaddling techniques to bottle expiration, we learned from her gentle guidance. Megan's expertise was invaluable in helping us establish a routine and gain confidence in our new roles.

Melissa came to work for us as a maternity nurse for the first few weeks after our daughter arrived, and we loved her so much she came back again a few months later! I was initially unsure of whether I wanted to hire a maternity nurse as I worried about it feeling quite intrusive or feeling like the maternity nurse was 'taking over' the baby. My husband and I agreed there was no harm in interviewing applicants and then if we didn't find anyone suitable, we had our answer. After interviewing several applicants, we'd nearly given up on the idea when the agency suggested one more - Mel. Gosh, I'm so glad they did. In our first introduction over facetime I immediately felt a connection with Mel, so she came to work for us for the first few weeks after our daughter was born, to help us settle in to parenthood. She is kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and appears to have endless patience (for both parents and babies!). She taught us the safest ways to get our daughter to sleep, bath her, change her, how to introduce a bottle, helped with breastfeeding, as well as helping me to figure out which breast pump to buy, how to work it, and sat with me for encouragement at all times. She would remind me when I needed to take my next medication and helped with any household tasks that I couldn't do due to recovery. There wasn't a single area of our lives that she didn't help out with in those first few weeks. I highly recommend Mel to anyone who is considering a maternity nurse. The warm, maternal, supportive energy that she brought into our home at such a vulnerable time was invaluable. She will always have a special place in our family - I just wish she could move in here forever!
