After struggling with severe pain during breastfeeding and hearing that discomfort was normal and to keep pushing through, I was beyond grateful when Stephanie came to my rescue. First off, Stephanie knows her stuff! She is so knowledge and passionate about sharing all she can to help with lactation. Stephanie was able to tweak my techniques, give me pointers, and boom, no more pain! With no judgement, and a kind attitude, Stephanie made it easy for me to relax and trust the process. Breastfeeding is NOT suppose to hurt! Who knew! If you're having any sort of issues with feeding or lactation, call Stephanie! Your welcome!

I don't know how I would have gotten through the trenches of postpartum without Amanda. After dealing with PPD after the birth of my first daughter and falling pregnancy shortly after with my second daughter, Amanda helped me find myself again after being in a very dark place. I can't recommend her enough. Amanda helped me find balance in my life again after having 2 under 2 and helped me finally enjoy motherhood. Amanda is wonderful with babies and children and is a pleasure to be around. My girls absolutely love her and I cannot recommend her and only sunshine postpartum doula services enough.

Kelsey was an amazing partner! Our son loved her. She's sweet and truly cares not only about your baby but also your wellbeing as a new parent. She gave us tips and ticks for getting our little dude to sleep (and keep him asleep), feeding, had great advice on baby gear and recommended some new mom resources for me. Kelsey is great and any parent (and baby!) would be lucky to work with her!
