I cannot say enough good things about Simone as our night doula and lactation consultant. From the moment she entered our home, she brought a sense of calm, compassion, and expertise that made an immediate difference in our postpartum experience.
As a second-time mom navigating recovery, sleep deprivation, and feeding challenges, her presence was nothing short of a gift. She supported our entire family with such gentleness and professionalism. Her overnight care allowed us to get desperately needed rest, knowing our baby was in kind, capable hands.
Her lactation guidance was equally invaluable. She offered evidence-based support with zero judgment—troubleshooting tummy issues, providing reassurance, and giving practical tools that worked. Thanks to her help, I went from overwhelmed and in pain to confident and empowered. I did not feel a bit of judgment when I chose to go from breastfeeding to formula due to my baby's tummy issues.
She listened deeply, responded thoughtfully, and truly respected our parenting values. She didn’t just care for our baby—she cared for us.
If you're looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also emotionally attuned and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend Simone. She’s an absolute gem and a vital part of our early parenting story.

“I truly don’t know how we would’ve made it through those early postpartum days without Simone. She walked into our home like a warm hug and brought with her a sense of peace we didn’t even know we needed. Her presence was gentle but powerful — whether she was holding our baby so I could shower and breathe, reminding me I was doing a good job when I doubted everything, or simply being there in the quiet moments, she made us feel safe, seen, and supported. She wasn’t just a doula — she became part of our story, and we’ll be forever grateful for the love and care she gave our family.”

Simone is amazing! I absolutely love her, her work and spirit! My daughter responded well to her presence from day one! I call Simone the "baby whisperer", lol! Simone's very knowledgeable and will send and share all information to back up what she's telling. I appreciate that very much, due to having bad anxiety, that helped me feel more comfortable and confident in having her help! I truly enjoy having Simone around! Not only does she help me take care of my daughter, she helps me mentally as well! I'm truly thankful for Simone and would recommend her, the same way she was recommended to me... in a heartbeat!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH SIMONE! I DONT KNOW HOW I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THRU THESE FIRST FEW MONTHS AS A NEW MOM WITHOUT YOU!

Where to start?! As first-time parents, my husband and I feel so lucky to have been connected to Simone and grateful that she came into our home and lives just when she did. Simone supported me and my family postpartum via overnight stays throughout the first month of my son's life. It was immediately clear that her expertise, perspective, and demeanor were just what the doctor ordered for that just-home-from-the-hospital, dear-in-the-headlights chapter. While I recovered from a cesarian and my husband transitioned back to work—and with both of families living in other parts of the country—Simone was the bedrock of the "village" we really needed. Her expertise around lactation and breastfeeding as well as general newborn care and development was absolutely invaluable and made all the difference in helping me feel more confident, empowered, and prepared as a new mother. I can't iterate enough how much confidence and peace of mind Simone helped instill in me.
Besides helping my husband and I catch up on some precious sleep, Simone armed us with everything from nursing, baby mobility, and soothing tips to diaper-changing, milk-storing, and baby-wearing hacks. I was super hungry for those pratical morsels of living with this new baby day-to-day! On a maternal care note, Simone kept a close eye on my "baby blues" and truly played a huge role in alleviating my new-parent anxiety. My husband and I were blown away by her above-and-beyond accessibility via text—an invaluable resource during those first weeks when I was questioning so much! Simone set a really fantastic note for our new family, and we truly hope to work with her again in the future. We'd unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone looking for postpartum support from a super qualified, knowledgeable expert who also keeps the best perspective, doesn't sweat the small stuff, and brings a sense of humor, warmth, and lightness into your home while she's at it.

Simone has been my doula for my last 2 births. I have super fast labors and Simone has always gone above and beyond to support and educate my family as we prepare for our new arrival. This last birth was nothing short of amazing. I experienced a beautiful and serene homebirth surrounded by loved ones. Simone was so In tune with my needs, she knew when to step in and when to give me space. She knew when I needed encountering words and when I needed silence. She is permanently apart and of my family and I'm always so grateful for her support. Book this wise Wombman if you can, she's highly demand. The Maybach of doulas if you will!

I used Simone as my post-partum doula for my second child after not having a great post-partum/nursing experience with my older son. I wanted this time to be different and could not have been happier with my choice. Simone is kind, caring and so knowledgeable. She really worked with me on nursing my daughter, which was my biggest priority. Not only did she help during our sessions, but was always available for support via texts. She also is the only person who noticed my daughter's tongue tie and was very useful before, during and after the frenectomy procedure. Simone continues to check in, even at 4 months post-partum, and I'm so lucky that she was able to be a part of this experience with me.

Simone is an excellent and very knowledgeable postpartum doula. She supported me in person for 6 sessions and was always available with virtual support and resources via text. After having an emergency C-section, I was so lucky to have Simone to guide me in my first few weeks as a mom. She not only helped me with my daughter and advised and encouraged me with breastfeeding she also cooked and made sure I was taking care of myself when I was feeling overwhelmed.

Simone was an excellent postpartum doula and I highly recommend working with her! She made me and my partner feel confident and comfortable, both things we needed as first-time parents. I looked forward to every visit and was genuinely sad to see her go, even though I knew I'd still be able to text her any time with questions. I was looking for a doula who had a significant amount of experience and also had an open and friendly attitude. I
