Noemi is truly incredible, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Throughout my pregnancy, she supported my husband and me by sharing invaluable knowledge and resources about the birthing process and what to expect during labor. She helped us create a birth plan and empowered us to advocate for ourselves with confidence.

During the postpartum period, she continued to nurture me, offering essential tools every new mom should have. As a lactation counselor, she guided me through breastfeeding and helped me connect with my maternal intuition and trust myself. Her passion for supporting and caring for mothers is truly inspiring, and I feel incredibly grateful to have had her as my doula.??

We are so incredibly grateful to have had Noemi as our doula. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, calm, and unwavering support to our journey—supporting not just me, but our entire family. Her care extended far beyond the basics; she was a steady, reassuring presence through every high and low.

Noemi is also a lactation expert, and her guidance made a world of difference in our breastfeeding experience. Having her at my side made nursing my second daughter a joy versus the frustration I felt the first time I tried. She offered practical tips, gentle encouragement, and truly listened to my concerns, helping me feel confident and empowered during a challenging time. Her knowledge and compassion were invaluable.

What stood out most was how Noemi genuinely cared for both me and my daughter—not just physically, but emotionally as well. She always made sure we felt heard and supported. Whether it was a late-night check-in or simply being a comforting presence, she consistently went above and beyond.

I cannot recommend Noemi enough. Her dedication, empathy, and expertise were a gift to our family, and we feel so lucky to have had her by our side.

We can't thank Noemj enough for the support she gave to our family during the fourth trimester. The difference was night and day from when we had our first child, where we were figuring it out all on our own. She went above and beyond to help me heal physically and mentally, accomplish tasks around the house, help with our eldest daughter and provide great insight on all my lactation questions. More importantly, Noemi helped instill balance, coach us and most importantly, allowed us to rest and recharge when we needed it. Knowing that we had someone that we could depend on to care for not only me, but for our entire family during this beautiful-but-stressful time, made all the difference. She allowed us to really enjoy this time together, and she brought such a warm, positive energy into our home.

Noemi helped us make a very smooth transition from hospital to home, especially with some challenges around breastfeeding. We had a 4 year old at the time, but having another was not as simple as rinse and repeat. We had a lot to learn and adjustments to make! Her generosity was not only a reassurance that we did not have to be alone in parenthood, but it was also humbling to see her heart and passion behind such kind of care. We are forever grateful for bringing Noemi into our home!
