Renata was an amazing doula for our family. She arrived early each evening and helped our baby settle in for the night. I was very nervous to have someone spend the night with him, but I found myself at ease with Renata. She really knew how to comfort and take care of our baby so that we could rest. Her tips for feeding and soothing were really helpful! I highly recommend Renata for any family that has a new addition and needs help adjusting.

Renata is a 10 out of 10. She helped us with our first born baby boy for roughly almost 8 weeks and boy was she a HUGE help. As a first time mom, I knew nothing about babies, much less how to breastfeed and how to work through latch issues. Renata not only helped me succeed she was ensured that I was doing okay. Postpartum can be alot and sometimes everyone is focused on the cute bundle of joy and unitentionally forget that the mom just had a baby. Renata was very thoughtful, considerate and understanding. She's also very organized, punctual and I don't have enough great things to say about her. She helped us give our son his first bath which I was so nervous about. All to say, that the only thing I would have wished is that we added a few more weeks of her support. Oh, I also will say that she was so good with helping our baby's tummy, being very considerate of any measures to ensure our baby wouldn't get colic/help as his little digestive track develops.

Renata was an excellent post partum doula and really helped our family transition during the newborn months. I was nervous of adding another child into the mix, but with renatas help and guidance it really did feel like a breeze. I was at ease at night knowing my newborn was well taken care of and I was able to wake up rested and ready for the day. Highly recommend Renata!

Having Renata as my doula was impeccable. To this day I 100 percent KNOW that my labor and post labor experience would've been entirely different without her loving and knowledgeable presence. Pre labor she created a beautiful binder with my name on it containing everything I need to know, the anatomy of the body, important things to consider, and so on. I felt so comfortable with her throughout my laboring process- she massaged/pressed on my back each contraction, fed me water, gently spoke to me, and took photos. One thing I really appreciated about Renata was that she was genuinely giving and respectable. I noticed she always asked questions to be sure she was honoring my boundaries. Simply having her around was a gift. To this day we remain connected. I'm so grateful.

My experience with Renata was absolutely wonderful! You can tell immediately that not only is she kind, caring and warm-hearted but she knows exactly what to do for your baby and for you as a new mother. I was having a hard time breastfeeding and Renata used a number of different techniques to try and help things along. She gave me excellent advice on how to care for my new baby and both baby and I felt comfortable in her capable hands. I can't say enough good things about her!

Renata was wonderful in all the ways! We were comfortable with Renata immediately upon our first call and in person meeting / home walk through. When she came to support us right out of the hospital she was helpful with advice for us and baby as first time parents. She was self motivated to complete helpful tasks around the house and take wonderful care of baby.
Renata was a wonderful communicator; very responsive via text and phone each time we reached out. We worked with Renata for about a month and a half, three days a week, and we found that to be perfect for us. We can whole heartedly recommend Renata to be the help you need with Baby!

Renata was very knowledgeable and competent about birth and postpartum care. Renata was always prepared for our meetings leading up to birth and always available to answer my questions. Renata was interested in getting to know me and my husband as well as respecting the type of environment i wanted for my birth. Renata was able to practice Rebollo technique and assist me with miles circuit routine to improve positioning prior to labor. Renata is a true advocate for women to have the birth they desire. Renata was very nurturing during my labor and hands on as I needed her. Renata also assisted me during my postpartum moments by showering me with useful gifts, affirmations and Nelly binding. I would highly recommend Renata as a birth Doula and postpartum Doula.

I had Renata for postpartum care after my last 2 babies. Renata is so knowledgeable, helpful, kind, loving, caring, and extremely gentle with both mom and baby!! She does whatever is needed for postpartum care, and doesn't stand around waiting to be asked. She steps up and offers to help in any way she can, and very respectfully! She follows whatever the mom asks, and takes such wonderful care of baby when mom needs to rest. We all loved loved having her and my family was so comfortable with her right from the start. 
I highly highly recommend Renata for you as your postpartum doula. You will be so cared for and in great hands! She's extremely wonderful!

Renata is simply the best doula I could have had! She fulfilled absolutely all my expectations, was sensible, committed and very professional from the beginning. I recommend Renata to everyone because childbirth is an extremely vulnerable time, and having someone who knows what they are doing is essential. Thank you for everything, Renata! You are the best!

A Renata é o anjo da guarda meu e do meu filho. Que alegria ter cruzado o caminho dessa mulher e ser humano incrível. Indescritível a gratidão que tenho por ela. Sem dúvidas meu parto e pós parto (até hoje) não teriam sido os mesmos sem ela. Ela (desde o primeiro dia de vida do meu filho) que me abraçou e me acalmou e continua fazendo isso até hoje. Maternidade é uma jornada complexa, cheia de medos, dúvidas e ter alguém que você possa contar, e que tenha tanta experiência, é sem dúvidas um presente. Contratar a Renata como doula para o meu parto, pós parto e consultora de amamentação, foi o melhor investimento da minha vida. Sem ela, nem consigo imaginar o que seria de mim. Recomendo de olhos fechados e coração aberto todos os serviços dela. Ela tem uma inteligência sem igual, inteligência emocional também e faz tudo com tanto amor e capricho. Gratidão eterna e muito amor é o que sentimos por ela. Feliz é quem pode cruzar o caminho dela. Sorte a nossa.

Renata was awesome. I contacted her to help us with our newborn at night because he had terrible colics and we were struggling for him to sleep. She gave us a lot of good advices and showed us how to help him. In the end she helped us with all of our questions and not only this specific issue. I trust her to leave my bAby in her care again if needed.

My husband still tells the story- I literally cried when I saw Renata come through the door my first day home from the hospital. I was so relieved that she was there, and my relief was not misplaced.  From the moment we met Renata we knew that we were in good hands. She is impeccably professional and extremely experienced.  I learned so much from watching her with my baby, and received nurturing that I didn't even know I needed.  To this day, when we find a caregiver that helps me to feel totally relaxed and secure, we say "she's a Renata."  I recommend her whole heartedly and am available to anyone who wants to talk personally about her service.

Renata was referred to me by a friend, and I had the privilege of having her as my doula after the birth of my third child. Renata went above and beyond my expectations. She took the time to meet with me and my family prior to the delivery so my children could bond with her and so that she could understand my specific needs. She gave me so much useful information and recommendations and ensured that I was mentally, emotionally and physically prepared for the delivery. Once the baby was born, Renata made sure that she understood what my priorities were and made it her goal to ensure that I was rested, stress-free and able to bond with my baby. Every day when she left, my home was immaculate, my children were happy, and my refrigerator was stocked with healthy meals that Renata had prepared for me. My older children loved her and I could rest knowing they were in good hands. Renata truly has a gift and she is passionate about what she does.

Being myself doula I always knew Renata is a great doula and I have been keeping her as my back up for my clients because I trust her for 100%. And having her at my own birth just proved everything I knew about her and even beyond. She is the most caring person I have even known. She knows her and yours boundaries. Very knowledgeable and professional. Her gentle touch with this calm energy could relax you at any point of labor. Never forget her hard working keeping me cool during my pushing stage. With all my heart I want to thank you for every second that you were with me at that very special day of my life

After birth I was having a very difficult time adjusting living with a newborn. I needed some additional help besides my husband and relative's supports. We were recommended Renata as a post partum doula. I didn't know there was such thing as post partum doula but I'm so glad I found her. Renata came to my home for an interview and I was instantly felt comfortable. She helped me right away with my son and was carefully observed my needs. She helped me with overnight shift because I was so sleep deprived along with my body was trying to recover. I was exhausted. She provided supports ( both emotional & physical ) for my breastfeeding journey. Before Renata started I was having a hard time breastfeeding but she was there to give me every opportunity to breastfeed first before ( per our requests) giving our son expressed milk ( bottles). After a few weeks with Renata's help I gained back some energy and my breastfeeding journey also started smooth sailing after that. She was there to help me even when I had clogged ducts. She's also super loving and attentive towards my son. Besides direct care and supports for both me and my son she also helped with things around the house like tidy things, laundry. Let me tell you it was a huge help since she took off some burden of keeping the house in check while I was busy recovering, nursing. Not only this helped me but also my husband as well! Instead of taking time cleaning he had more time for us! I didn't want to let her go after the post partum service was over. It is super hard to find a trusted, attentive and caring person for me ( a new mom) and for my son. She was not onlyy there to provide service but was there as a friend and a companion. I highly recommend her to anyone. You won't be disappointed !

I can’t imagine going through the birth of my son without Renata. My son was in a bad position so I ended up having a very long and more difficult labor. Active labor lasted about 24 hours. My husband and I planned to have a drug free birth and deliver in the water. Throughout my labor at the hospital, Renata was right by my side the whole time to help me in whatever way I needed. She would massage me, fan me when I got hot, wrap me in a blanket when I got the chills, anticipated when I was about to be sick and would be right there with a vomit bag. She would help me with my hypnobirthing breathing when she could see that I was starting to steer from it and it would get me back on track. She had so many ideas for different positions to try to get the baby into a better position and most importantly she was always right there with words of encouragement which gave me strength and let me know that I could do it. Overall, her demeanor was perfect. She has a quiet presence that is not in your face but is there in the background and then she just can read you well and tell exactly what you need at the right time without using much talking. Her calm, relaxed presence really help keep the mood with the hypnobirthing type environment that we were trying to achieve in the labor room. Prior to labor, we met with Renata 2 times at our house and she always had some useful information to share with us about labor and delivery. She also showed my husband many techniques to help me during contractions such as positions, counter pressure and the like so my husband was really well prepared to help me during labor. During the labor, Renata was a good complement to my husband and always let him be involved as much as he wanted. Overall, I can’t speak highly enough of Renata and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a doula. With her help, we were able to achieve the labor and birth we wanted, completely drug free and my baby was born in the water.
