Carrie is special. She is exceptional with babies and new moms in a way that feels notable, even for a postpartum doula. She has such a peaceful, confident, supportive energy that it changed the tone in my house (and myself) when she was there.

I struggled to identify and articulate my needs as a new mom. Carrie always asked the right questions and saw what I didn't say. That was invaluable to our family and me personally.

From our first full day home from the hospital, through postpartum complications, to leaving the house by myself for the first time, Carrie saw us through all the firsts, expected and unexpected. She made nutritious and delicious meals, snuggled my daughter, checked in on me in uncountable ways, and just made those first months feel infinitely more doable. I could breathe when she was there. I just cannot recommend her highly enough.

Carrie is a true gem!
