I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible doula, Nayo and I am beyond grateful for the support and care she provided during my pregnancy and postpartum journey.

From the very beginning, she demonstrated a genuine commitment to my well-being and comfort. At our initial consultation, she was so warm and welcoming, made me feel like we had known each other forever – like family. Her pre-delivery support was invaluable, and she offered guidance, resources, and a reassuring presence that significantly eased my anxieties leading up to the big day.

Despite the unexpected and swift arrival of my baby, Nayo handled the situation with absolute grace and professionalism. Although she couldn't be present for the delivery itself, she arrived promptly afterwards, and her unwavering support immediately made a positive impact on the overall experience. Her genuine affection for newborns is evident, and it added an extra layer of comfort and joy during those initial moments with my little one.

What sets her apart is her incredible ability to adapt and provide the necessary support in any situation. She seamlessly transitioned from the initial postpartum moments to offering invaluable guidance on breastfeeding, soothing techniques, and general newborn care. Her warm and nurturing demeanor not only reassured me but also provided a sense of calm during what could have been a stressful time.

In summary, Nayo exceeded all expectations, demonstrating not only professional expertise but also a deep passion for her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking comprehensive doula support, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by my side during this significant chapter of my life.

Thank you, Nayo for being an integral part of my birthing experience and making it so positive and memorable!

I LOVE HER!!!!
I am so grateful for her and all she did to ensure I had a beautiful and successful pregnancy. I never had any issues hte whole time she was helping me. She ensured I was prepared to have the delivery I wanted to have. My Husband loved her as well and appreciated all the ways she was there for us both. I will be reaching out to her for my next pregnancy as well. I also rave about her and send patients over to her.
