Testimonials

Z. was our postpartum doula for 3 weeks. It was our first baby, didn’t know what to expect. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I would make a list with questions which they went over at every visit. She called my insurance to see how I could get lactation help. I got a heavenly herbal bath. She made wonderful snacks. I loved her lactation balls. She made a shopping list every day so I knew what’s missing and what she needs to make a meal the next day. She washed pumped parts when I needed to start pumping and did lots of laundry. And she listened in such a wonderful way- I truly felt heard and gained confidence in motherhood by the day.
