I truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, supported, and respected. She always took the time to answer my questions, reassure me, and help me feel confident in the decisions I made for my birth. During labor and delivery, she was such a calming presence. She advocated for me when needed, encouraged me every step of the way, and helped me stay focused through one of the most important days of my life. I never felt alone because I knew she was there for me. Even after my baby was born, her support didn’t stop. She continued to check in on me and made sure both my baby and I were doing well. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine care meant more to me than words can express. If you’re looking for someone who will truly support you, empower you, and make you feel cared for throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She helped make my birth experience so much more positive, and I’ll always be grateful for everything she did for me. Thank you for being such an incredible part of our journey!

Hiring Josie from Living Water Doula Care for my second C-section was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My first C-section was an emergency and left me with significant birth trauma and anxiety that I didn’t fully understand until my second pregnancy, but then I met Josie and she completely transformed my experience. Before my C-section, she helped me process my first birth and identify where my trauma was rooted. She also helped create a calm, peaceful home for me to return to after delivery. On the day of my C-section, Josie was my anchor, and recognized my anxiety even when I tried to hide it and made sure my concerns were heard. I was terrified of the spinal, but she advocated for me with the medical team and encouraged them to explain each step, helping me feel safe and informed. Her calming presence changed the entire atmosphere of the room. She also supported my partner, a first-time dad, helping him feel included and at ease. After surgery, I experienced intense pain, and Josie continued to show up for me, even coming to the hospital in the middle of the night. She helped me manage my pain through breathing techniques, physical comfort, and emotional support. When I felt overwhelmed after being moved to a smaller room, she once again advocated for me and helped me feel safe. Coming home was just as meaningful. Josie had prepared my space, making it feel warm, peaceful, and restorative. Her postpartum care helped me slow down, release guilt, and focus on healing. Josie doesn’t just support birth—she honors it. She didn’t just support me through my C-section; she helped me heal from past trauma. Before hiring her, I wasn’t sure a doula was necessary for a C-section. Now I can confidently say it was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made. Because of Josie, I no longer fear growing my family, and I’m forever grateful for the role she played in my healing journey.

I can't thank Savannah enough for her incredible support throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment I told her about my pregnancy , she provided invaluable guidance on creating a birth plan tailored to my preferences and needs. Her knowledge on postpartum healing and breastfeeding was a game-changer, offering practical tips and emotional support every step of the way.One of the most impactful aspects of her care was the open discussions we had about circumcision. She provided thorough information and empowered me to make an informed decision that felt right for our family. Her compassionate approach and wealth of expertise made all the difference during such a significant time in our lives. Savannah is a beacon of authenticity in a world often clouded by conformity. I highly recommend Savannah to any expecting parent seeking personalized, supportive care. Forever grateful for her guidance and wisdom.

We acquired Makayla's postpartum services for the birth of our second child and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! Despite being experienced parents, juggling the constant needs of a newborn and toddler with all of our daily household responsibilities was really challenging. Having Makayla support us a few days or nights a week to help with light household chores, meal prep and baby-wearing in addition to all the education and care she provides, really helped maintain our sanity, helped us recharge and also allowed us one on one quality time with our toddler (which can be difficult to achieve!). It was so nice to have someone come over to look after this very tired Mom and give her a break for a change! The overnight shifts were a tremendous lifesaver as well, giving everyone much needed continuous rest and energy. Her breadth of knowledge and experience were helpful refreshers and great advice for us to ensure quality care for our sons. Makayla truly is amazing and transitioned right into being our default babysitter, the only one we trust with both kids.

Nikole went above and beyond to assist my family in preparing for the birth of our baby. Nikole set up education FaceTimes with my husband overseas, and provided plenty of material for us to reference. She provided comfort to me and helped talk me through all of my options in the labor process so I was making the most informed decision. I was supported before, during, and after birth.

To Whom it May Concern, Our family hired Christine Petras to work as our nanny in July 2021 and we would certainly recommend her work. Christine has demonstrated tremendous responsibility in taking care of our 11-month-old daughter and in keeping the house in working order. She is kind, trustworthy and always on time. While caring for our daughter, Christine performed a handful of tasks: • Prepared and served baby-led weaning meals with balanced nutrition and ensured food safety, while be trained in emergency response (CPR) • Organized fun and educational games, read storybooks that increased our daughter’s interest in story time, and planned daily, outdoor activities (weather permitted) such as walking to the local playground and park • Performed light household chores pertaining to our daughter, such as: laundry, dishes, tidying of our daughters play areas • Maintained a daily routine that our daughter looked forward to Christine has always brought a professional, well-thought-out approach when caring for our child. She is capable of isolating important obstacles in our child’s life and investigated literature for the best possible means to address those obstacles, in such a manner, that our daughter has consistently met her developmental milestones. Christine has a heart of gold and continually goes above and beyond her job description, her work ethic is untouchable, and her patience is something our family will always be grateful for. Christine has been an absolute gift to our family – she is loving, energetic and present. She is able to work in the intimate family environment with integrity and professionalism. Our family treasures Christine and deeply value her contribution to our household. It’s hard to explain how much my family loves Christine and how sad we were that it was time for our daughter to start school. It really does take a village to raise a child, and Christine is the safest, most loving village out there.

Brandy was so great and caring with our newborn! She provided high quality and trust worthy care during a very vulnerable time! We highly recommend her!

​From the moment she walked through the door, Selena brought a sense of calm that instantly eased our new-parent anxiety. She has an incredible intuition for exactly what a healing mother and a newborn need. Whether she was subtly managing the household chaos, preparing nourishing meals, or offering evidence-based guidance on infant sleep and feeding, she did it all with zero judgment and a massive heart. ​What truly sets Selena apart is how she cares for the entire family unit. She didn't just take care of the baby so we could sleep (though her overnight support is pure magic); she mothered me when I needed it most, holding space for the intense emotions of the fourth trimester. ​Because of Selena, we didn’t just survive the postpartum period—we actually got to slow down, heal, and bond with our baby. She is professional, deeply knowledgeable, endlessly compassionate, and feels like family by the time her shift ends.

Hatti was prompt, friendly and reliable. She had an extensive array of knowledge and experience that me and my family continue to benefit from. Not only did she provide consistent care for my children, but was also available to share her expertise related to parenting. We will certainly utilize her again in the future.
