Teresa Cranston Postpartum Doula in Seattle, WA

Working with Teresa has been an absolute dream. She is one of those providers that you simply cannot top. She is warm, communicative, and so so incredibly talented. I reccomend her to each and every one of my clients who needs overnight support I cannot accomodate. When I tell you Teresa is GIFT to the Seattle postpartum community I truly MEAN it. I tell my clients I would trust Teresa with MY own children if I were to have them and they can too. Her professionalism, background, and immense community impact makes her unparalled provider. If you have a question about it she has seen it, done it, conquered it. I truly cannot reccomend her enough. I also see this immensely benevolent side of her - this work goes far beyond any fee her clients pay. It's soul work. She wants to help. She cares. She is your VILLAGE. Teresa is the dream team member every postpartum client needs. I would reccomend Teresa without any hesistation for any of your postpartum needs.

I definitely recommend Teresa as a postpartum Doula! We all slept the best during the nights that she came, including baby. I appreciated that she stays awake all night taking care of baby. My priority was sleep which she encouraged by picking up pump parts and refrigerating the milk so I. could quickly return to bed. Baby did not seem to cry as much with her. She is very comfortable with newborns and infants, and our baby loved her. Teresa enjoys reading and learning to expand her knowledge base. She models good sleep habits and tries to troubleshoot reasons why baby is not sleeping well so we can work as a team to make adjustments to baby’s day schedule such as adding walks outside, or be more aware of developmental milestones like teething. Although she is not a lactation consultant, she can provide some advice in this area as well. She is so supportive and empathetic. She is great with communication. She sent texts asking how I was doing before delivery with my high risk pregnancy, and also after delivery on days she was not working with us. She is prompt with replies. It was so nice that she came early each night so we could chat like old friends. We counted down the days and minutes before she arrived, and it was such a relief to see her each time. She became part of the family, and we miss her!

We hired Teresa for postpartum overnight care for 10 weeks, starting from the first night we brought our baby home from hospital. Working with Teresa was the best decision we made! Teresa’s support goes well beyond baby care - as first time parents, she helped us with anything we were struggling with, recommended products, lent us books, and was just a great sounding board! She stays up all night and practices good sleep habits (puts baby down awake, uses crib) which set a great foundation for us to follow. Our baby was well loved, safe, and happy on nights with Teresa. We were so sad to say goodbye and will definitely work with her again if we have another kid in the future!
