Here is what a client named Annie has to say about working with Melissa F.:

Where do I even begin? We found Melissa during my first pregnancy in 2021 after our first doula was unable to continue on, and let little did we know how big of a blessing that would be! Melissa supported us during a hospital birth during the height of Covid, and we hired them again to support us through the birth of our second baby at home. It’s been such an honor to have their support besides me for the birth of both my babies. In the hospital, they helped me gain confidence in advocating for myself and kept me encouraged. At home they kept me centered and focused on letting my body do the work it needed to do. In both pregnancies, Melissa provided so much educational resources, and was always open to chat about topics that I had questions about or anything I was experiencing. Their help in baby wearing with my first pregnancy has helped me teach many friends how to confidently wear their babies! We also hired them to encapsulate my placenta, and I can say that after nearly 3 weeks of taking the pills, my recovery this time has been a  night and day difference! With our first, I cried daily when the sun set for the first few weeks and thought it was a myth that some people don’t experience the baby blues. This time I have felt like my normal self! I highly recommend hiring Melissa for anyone looking for a doula.

Here is what a client named Michelle Engleman has to say about working with Tiffany:

Tiffany was our postpartum doula in the first couple months postpartum and did SO much to help us rest and recover! I had a challenging birth, so had a significant recovery, and Tiffany's support was really crucial to be able to rest.

She started supporting us on overnights the week after we got home from the hospital, so was the first person we trusted with our baby, yet we were so confident stepping away to sleep since she is such an expert. Beyond that, she's very empathetic and understanding. Since we were first time parents, she provided so much guidance related to sleep and feeding, and was there to answer all sorts of questions - from when to adjust nipple flow to swaddle recommendations and more. I really wanted a doula that supported our individual family choices and Tiffany did that so well, especially since I chose to formula feed. She's great at providing non-judgmental support.

Since Tiffany is also a birth doula, she provided a lot of emotional support as I processed my birth experience too! It was challenging birth, so my husband and I also benefited from having some time together (without the baby!) to process and rest. We'd always feel so relieved when Tiffany arrived, and would share some laughs with her about my son's latest antics before going to sleep. We felt really comfortable with her in our home - and she was great with our animals!

We really debated hiring a postpartum doula, since it is a significant expense and we weren't sure what our needs would be postpartum, but it was SUCH an important investment. I'm especially glad we proactively planned for it, so that we were able to go into the birth/postpartum knowing we planned for support, and also find someone that aligned with our needs and values.

Here is what a client named Echarial Ogunnubi has to say about working with Denita:

Having Denita as our doula was great and a much needed resource. She helped my husband and I make informed decisions about our birth preferences. I am most appreciative for her calm spirit, expertise, and support that helped us navigate this journey. 

I highly recommend Denita to be your go-to doula who can coach and comfort you through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
