Here is what a client named Andrea Estrella has to say about working with Cara :

I cannot say enough good things about Cara! I will start by saying that she is one of the very few people that I trust my baby with, and we wouldn’t have survived the first month without her. She has an incredibly calming presence, is super knowledgeable, and is fantastic with babies.

Cara was my birth and postpartum doula, and I also took birth classes with her. The birth classes were great - she managed to pack all the information we needed in a few interactive sessions. My husband and I felt very prepared for the birth once we completed the sessions. I only wish I had chosen to take her breastfeeding course as well!

I asked Cara so many questions while I was pregnant, and she was always very responsive, had wise and informed answers, and was never judgmental. She was a great resource to have during the birth, even though we had to communicate virtually due to the pandemic restrictions.

As a postpartum doula, Cara took care of my whole family. She helped a lot around the house so my husband could get some rest, she watched our baby and coached us in newborn care, and she made sure I was doing well so I could care for and feed my child.

Cara was an incredible support with breastfeeding. I would not be breastfeeding exclusively if it wasn’t for her! She made sure my milk supply was good, helped me overcome some challenges, and was very encouraging all along my journey. My baby grew at an excellent pace - she is now three months and thriving!

My husband and I look forward to Cara’s visits, not only because she’s a HUGE help with our baby and around the house, but also because she’s such a pleasure to be around. She’s positive, grounded, and truly genuine. One of the things I like most about her is that she carefully watches our baby to figure out what she needs to be content. I’ve learned a lot from her!

I consider myself very lucky to have found Cara!

Here is what a client named Shardé Copeland has to say about working with Rachel:

Words can not begin to express how grateful I am for Rachel and her team at Family Ways. I was 37 weeks pregnant and researching different businesses for placenta encapsulation. Family Ways was recommended by my OBGYN as well as another doula service. I hadn't quite settled on a group I wanted to use yet but when I unexpectedly delivered my baby 3 weeks early I jumped on finding someone who could take my placenta immediately. After leaving several messages for different groups Family Ways responded rapidly and started the process for my encapsulation. Rachel provides me with so much helpful information & when I was unsure about something, she would give me my options, provide pros and cons, and tell me to think about it. I never felt pressured to do anything and always felt reassured. I also loved that they offered more than just encapsulation for the placenta. Who knew that there were so many more options with your placenta. Rachel was prompt with picking up my placenta on again such short notice and delivering it in time before my discharge. Family Ways has made my post pregnancy dreams a reality that I didn't think would happen, given my last minute delivery. Her team is professional, very trustworthy, and went above and beyond my expectations. I can't wait to have my second child to use their services again!

Here is what a client named Daryl has to say about working with Julia :

As a dad, working with Julia not only supported my partner’s labor experience but helped me feel calm and confident in my support during the labor as well. She has a calm and reassuring presence that was invaluable and even though she had just met us (Julia stepped in for our labor last minute when our doula was at another labor), she picked up on our needs quickly and provided just the kind of support we were hoping for. She connected with my partner and helped her navigate through the contractions but also made a point to connect with me throughout it the labor which turned any of my anxious energy into something more productive. She helped us ask questions of the midwife to ensure we knew what to expect and worked seamlessly with the nurse and midwife throughout the labor which meant I could just focus on my partner. Thanks Julia!
