“I had never considered hiring a doula before, but when my husband had to leave on an extended work trip when our second child was only 3 weeks old, I knew I needed help. Emily, Angie, and Jessica were terrific. They were calm, caretaking, and knowledgeable, providing helpful suggestions for my baby’s sleep and feeding. It can be very difficult to ask for help, especially overnight, but they made it feel easy and comfortable to ask for what I needed. They were flexible and accommodating about scheduling and helped me get some much needed sleep. It was the reset I needed, allowing me to feel well-rested and confident when it came time to tackle nights on my own. I’m so grateful to them and happily recommend them to any expectant or postpartum families.”
