Laura is professional, sociable, and skilled in her area of expertise. We were so happy and relieved to have her help out with our newborn and if we did it all over again, we'd pick Laura every time!

Laura was a great, reliable, trustworthy and kind resource during the first few weeks postpartum.

She provided essential night support taking care of my baby so I could rest and recover from delivery. Her night support allowed me be more present with my baby during the day. I'd recommend her to a friend.

When our regular doula caught a cold and couldn’t make her usual overnight session, we were so fortunate to have Laura Ellis step in to help. She took care of our newborn twin boys, handling our system of cloth diapers and mixed breast milk and formula in bottles. Even our orange cat loved her. We’re looking forward to working with Laura again.
