Recent review

As a first time mom, having a doula was very important to me. I hired Monica as my doula for my 2025 birth. Monica provided much insight surrounding prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postnatal care. Her communication skills were as outlined as she provided details regarding her role and expectations, which left minimum room for questions due to being very informative. Hiring Monica, was one of the most rewarding aspects of my pregnancy.She assisted with creating my birth plan and ensuring that it was followed as best as could be during my delivery. She addressed concerns during laboring when I was unable to and needed to focus on labor management. The techniques that she provided to help contractions during labor was very successful and I progressed more once she arrived. To add, Monica arrived earlier than what was planned, with no hesistsnce, simply because I needed my doula assistance. Monica's dedication was shown throughout her service. I would highly recommend Monica and have her again as my doula!

I have been a newborn nurse for 11 years and a lactation specialist for 5 years. I have 3 children that I breastfed myself, but didn’t learn about all that goes into nursing and the amazing science behind it, or the massive benefits of breastfeeding, until I decided to become a Lactation Consultant in 2020.I love helping moms reach their breastfeeding goals and giving them and their children an outcome that works for both of them.
