Here is what a client named Marissa McInnis has to say about working with Iman :

Iman has and will continue to be such an important part of our baby's life! From the very first meeting, I felt relieved by her calming presence and knowledge of the birthing process. We had an eventful week 38 and 39, with baby suddenly breeching, a failed effort to turn him, a scheduled c-section, a cancelled c-section since he turned back at the last minute, and then a 65-hour induced birth since the doctors were concerned he was so late.

Through all of the drama, Iman was there with me, awake and present and comforting. For hours at a time, she would stay with me when everyone else was sleeping, and walked me through the pros and cons of each step during induction and stayed to witness the birth and help in my immediate recovery. 

After settling at home, we booked her to help us with postpartum life. She would answer questions about nursing, sleep, and general life as new parents. I don't think it's a coincedence that the first night after her first postpartum visit, he finally slept through the night after we took her advice! Her visits allowed me to rest and get small tasks done -- making a world of difference in my mental health.

We continue to stay in touch with her and our son just adores her. Our only regret is that we didn't connect with her sooner or use her more during those first few postartum weeks. As a friend, she continues to be a comfort and a light to our family -- we love Iman!

Here is what a client named Anna has to say about working with Jenny:

We were so grateful for Jenny's presence at the birth of our first child. Her calm presence immediately reassured me when she arrived at L&D. She put pressure on my back during contractions, offered a few gentle suggestions and many encouraging words, and generally helped my husband and me feel more anchored in such an intense, new, and overwhelming experience. I think that having her there made the difference for me in being able to forgo an epidural.

Jenny's post-birth home visit also gave us a lift in confidence, and I was thankful to be able to call her with a breastfeeding question at a moment when things felt very hard. I'd love to have Jenny attend any future births.

Here is what a client named Andrea Estrella has to say about working with Cara :

I cannot say enough good things about Cara! I will start by saying that she is one of the very few people that I trust my baby with, and we wouldn’t have survived the first month without her. She has an incredibly calming presence, is super knowledgeable, and is fantastic with babies.

Cara was my birth and postpartum doula, and I also took birth classes with her. The birth classes were great - she managed to pack all the information we needed in a few interactive sessions. My husband and I felt very prepared for the birth once we completed the sessions. I only wish I had chosen to take her breastfeeding course as well!

I asked Cara so many questions while I was pregnant, and she was always very responsive, had wise and informed answers, and was never judgmental. She was a great resource to have during the birth, even though we had to communicate virtually due to the pandemic restrictions.

As a postpartum doula, Cara took care of my whole family. She helped a lot around the house so my husband could get some rest, she watched our baby and coached us in newborn care, and she made sure I was doing well so I could care for and feed my child.

Cara was an incredible support with breastfeeding. I would not be breastfeeding exclusively if it wasn’t for her! She made sure my milk supply was good, helped me overcome some challenges, and was very encouraging all along my journey. My baby grew at an excellent pace - she is now three months and thriving!

My husband and I look forward to Cara’s visits, not only because she’s a HUGE help with our baby and around the house, but also because she’s such a pleasure to be around. She’s positive, grounded, and truly genuine. One of the things I like most about her is that she carefully watches our baby to figure out what she needs to be content. I’ve learned a lot from her!

I consider myself very lucky to have found Cara!
