Barbara was truly a blessing to me and my family after the birth of my first child this past Christmas Eve. A few days after birth, I was unable to walk without great pain, and forget about the stairs. Barbara was able to step right in and help with laundry, household chores, organizing baby items and tending to both my daughter, as well as my 4 dog babies. Without her, I'm sure our nursery would still be unfinished.
Barbara is an expert in child care and gave great advice about caring for our little sweetie. She also made certain that I was well cared for-both physically and emotionally. She brought calm to our house during a rough period, enabling me to recover from my injury, so that we could fully experience the joy of parenthood.
I highly recommend Barbara as a post-partum doula, and I am certain she would be a great comfort and support during the birth experience as well.
