Our experience with Vanessa was absolutely amazing! We believe that she was God-sent. She took care of our 2 children aged 2months and a 2yr old while I went back to work. She is very professional, smart, caring, loving, flexible, and understanding, among other extraordinary qualities. She lovingly without a doubt made sure that everyone was cared for and above all with a beautiful warm smile. Vanessa won our hearts and will always be part of our family ?? We love and miss her so much and more than anything we wish her all the best in life.
THE D FAMILY ??

Vanessa was our postpartum doula and she was absolutely wonderful! This was our first baby and she passed along many sleeping and care tips our way while allowing me to properly sleep with no worry while she was here. Her caring demeanour is exactly the type of person you want looking after your baby. She was also amazing with our Bernese Mountain Dog which really made a difference for us. She always spent time fussing over her when she arrived ??
I would highly recommend Vanessa for anyone who is looking for a doula!

I cannot recommend and praise Vanessa enough! It's been 6 months since I gave birth to my baby girl, and this review is long due but I finally got a second to sit and share my experience with anyone looking for a caring and loving doula like Vanessa.
Since the first time we met, we clicked immediately. She has such a calm vibe, she is very professional but also makes you feel comfortable (as if you were long-time friends). I am the type of person that will do extensive research over everything (especially as a FTM), and even though I thought I knew what was to come, Vanessa helped me navigate it without any stress and gave me the confidence to believe in the power I have to bring life to this world. My husband and I had a lot of fun during her visits. We practiced what Vanessa taught us and we were excited for our baby's arrival because we felt we had the support we needed.
My birth plan did not happen the way I had planned (oh boy have I heard that line from plenty of other mamas too), but Vanessa was there with us keeping us calm, extending her hand and knowledge (and a very soothing voice lol). She was there for us during postpartum, gave us all the tips, and checked to see how we were feeling as new parents.
Thank you Vanessa for your help! we are beyond grateful for your presence and for being the right match for us.

Vanessa was our birth doula for the birth of our first baby. Being a first-time mom, I was anxious about labor and delivery mostly due to fear of the unknown. At our first meeting, she provided detailed information on the labor and delivery process. This helped me prepare and know what to expect during delivery. She showed us exercises and provided many helpful tips to manage pain during the contractions. The pain-relieving exercises and other tips helped me greatly to manage the pain effectively. At the hospital, during labor, her presence was a great comfort since I didn’t have my parents or any relatives to be with me. She gave me massages and talked to me in a calm and reassuring way which kept my emotions calm. I wholeheartedly believe that the knowledge she shared and her support at the hospital was significant in helping me having a smooth delivery. Vanessa is a calm, supportive, patient, kind and gentle person who helped make my birth experience one of the best experiences of my life. I greatly appreciate her experience and support and cannot thank her enough. I highly recommend her knowledge and doula services to any expecting family!

Vanessa is AMAZING . she has all the qualities that a doula should have. she is caring,supportive ,friendly,confident and very professional .As a first time mom during the pandemic I was so nervous and scared about giving birth but Vanessa was a big relief for me giving all the emotional support that I needed. Throughout the pregnancy and the postpartum I had lots of questions but she was just a call or text away for all of them. I can’t enough thanking for her multiple visits during my postpartum period helping me out with the baby and especially she had great recommendation regarding breastfeeding. I would like to highly recommend her for anyone who looking for a wonderful doula.Thank you Vanessa for your excellent service.
