Clarissa was invaluable to us as not only someone to help us care for our most precious new family member but also as an incredible resource for establishing healthy habits and a routine with our newborn. I had a c-section and it gave me great peace of mind to know that Clarissa would make sure my baby's needs were met during the night so I could rest and recover. Having someone who you trust and are comfortable with in this role is paramount and I felt at ease with Clarissa from the start.

Clarissa taught us (first time, exhausted new parents) baby basics like swaddling and diapering to more complex skills like pumping and body feeding. She is passionate about newborn care and extremely knowledgable. Having Clarissa for the first 6 weeks of our newborn's life helped us get into a schedule and have the knowledge to get us off on the right foot and any family would be lucky to have her in those early days following the birth of a little one.

Clarissa was absolutely incredible. Before the baby came she helped us set up the nursery and bedroom bassinet. She came to the hospital for me after my delivery while my son was in the NICU and helped me figure out how to hand express because he couldn't latch on right away. She helped ne calm my anxiety due to my son being away from me. She helped me learn to latch and breast feed successfully until I felt comfortable enough doing it on my own. I felt so at ease at night knowing my baby was in safe hands and could actually rest. She taught me all the safe rules of breastfeeding and listened to me and my partners concerns about being new parents. She showed me different ways to hold the baby and feed him and could get him to stop crying in seconds. She showed me how to set up my pumping station and made sure pumping was comfortable and not painful and helped me maintain my oversupply. Even after her contract was up I would still ask her questions and she would get back to me quickly. She is the baby whisperer and so caring. She is a great support to everyone in the family. I recommend her to every mom I meet she is absolutely great. I plan on using her services for all my future children.

My overall experience with Clarissa as one of our postpartum doulas was she is very warm, helpful, and trustworthy.

We hired her as our nighttime doula during the fall/winter 2020. She helped care for our newborn baby, fed him, changed his diaper, put him to bed, comfort him, prepared our bottles for the next day (I would pump and she would prep the bottles), and helped find resources when I was looking for them as well as bounce ideas on baby-related questions, etc.

I recommend Clarissa's services and am happy to connect, should you want to touch base (mom to mom). Enjoy your parenting and ever so life-changing adventure!

We used Clarissa's services once our little miracle baby came home from the NICU. We were first time parents and I was recovering from horrible pregnancy complications. She was absolutely incredible. She answered every question with proficiency and knowledge and made me so so comfortable. Bonus: being able to sleep at night was CRUCIAL for my sanity. I didn't have to worry that my baby was safe because I knew she was in great hands. Doulas are incredible and I would highly recommend Clarissa's services! To this day, we use the tips and tricks she taught us to keep a very happy little household. ♥?
