I highly recommend Hugs and Snugs! I worked with both Rachael and Mary who were both incredible at their jobs. I had help with a lactation consultation that was super helpful and both day and night postpartum Dulas after our twins were born. We also have a 5 year old so trying to navigate going from a family of 3 to a family of 5 was very challenging! I do not know how I would have survived those first few months without this support. Mary was my lactation consultant who gave me very helpful tips for breastfeeding in the comfort of my own home shortly after I came home from the hospital. She has a calm energy and is completely non-judgmental which put me at ease. She also provided postpartum Dula services with day and night support. I learned so many things from watching her with my babies. Rachael helped us with overnight care too and is incredible. She is super knowledgeable and also has a calm non-judgmental approach that puts you at ease.  Rachael referred me to a pediatric dentist to have my daughter’s lip and tongue tie revised after having some difficulties with feeding. I wouldn’t have even considered this myself. Rachael also referred us to a pediatric chiropractor that was able to help with my son’s flat spot on his head and helped my daughter with digestion issues. As a result my daughter no longer is on medication for acid reflux and my son’s head is almost fixed (they’re 9 months old now). It was such a treat when they came. These women are like angels who were able to step in when I needed the support the most. Having twins is not for the faint of heart and after their support I felt so much more confident tackling this new life as a family of 5! I can’t recommend Hugs and Snugs enough, worth every penny! Thank you ladies!

I can highly recommend Rachel as your Lactation Consultant and as an overnight doula.  She was supportive of my journey from the start-which was not a traditional breastfeeding journey-but involved mostly pumping and the possibility of using formula from the start.  She supported me, never judged me or pushed me to "pump more", etc.  I was worried about this because when I had my first child, some of my providers wanted me to put my mental health last and put breast feeding first.  Rachel never made me feel this way and was amazing! She took the time to show me how to properly pump, going the extra mile by coming to my house & watching me pump and always answering my texts or calls in a timely manner.  I had a lot of trouble with pumping- especially with clogs-and she gave me wonderful tips and I am in a much better place now.  I learned so much from Rachel this time around and I am so thankful for her. I can proudly say that I am at 3 and half months and my TWINS have had majority breastmilk at this time!!! I would thank Rachel for that :).    

I would also recommend hiring Rachel for overnight help.  It was the only time I could rest peacefully knowing that my babies were in trustworthy hands.  Every time Rachel came over, she would get both babies sleeping soundly and I did not have to worry about anything.  I could get rest and she would help me with the bottles, laundry, etc.  I would highly recommend Rachel for overnights at your house if you need some sleep with newborns!  She is a natural and your babies will be in good hands.

Rachel is just wonderful! She has a wealth of knowledge and made me feel confident in my journey post partum. She taught me how to do so many things you don't know you have to do until your a mom. She was there for me and my son from the first week I brought home my baby boy and she has continued her support in helping guide me along the path of motherhood. I could not be more grateful to have her in my life!

Rachel completely transformed my postpartum experience for the better. After a rough c-section recovery with my first daughter, I knew that for my second child (no matter if i had a repeat c or vbac), I wanted to be more prepared and that's exactly what I found with Rachel. She provided priceless emotional support, breastfeeding help and referrals for my daughter's oral ties, and anything we needed done around and outside of the house. Her support was an enormous weight off of all of our shoulders as we transitioned from 1 child to 2. I can't thank her enough, plus her homemade peanut butter balls are pretty amazing! :)
