We were so happy to have Siobhan as our postpartum. She has helped us a lot during our first 3 month as we are first time parents. She gave us considerate and not overstepping suggestions in taking care of our baby. Her help earned us more sleep. We miss her a lot even we are now different phase of parenthood.

Siobhan has been an absolute godsend as our postpartum doula. Her presence and support have been invaluable during this important phase of our lives. From the moment she stepped into our home, it was clear that we were in the hands of a caring and experienced professional.

Siobhan's knowledge and guidance on postpartum care, infant feeding, and newborn development have been indispensable. Her ability to create a nurturing and reassuring environment has made the challenging transition into parenthood so much smoother. She took the time to understand our needs and tailored her support accordingly, ensuring we felt confident in our roles as new parents.

What truly sets Siobhan apart is her empathetic and compassionate nature. She not only cares for our newborn but also provides emotional support for both my partner and me. Her presence is like having a trusted friend by our side, always ready to lend a helping hand and a listening ear.

Siobhan's commitment to our well-being extends beyond her working hours; she genuinely cares about our family's happiness and adjustment to this new chapter. Her postpartum doula services have been a lifeline during this challenging period, and we can't thank her enough for the positive impact she's had on our lives.

In short, Siobhan is a postpartum doula who goes above and beyond. Her expertise, warmth, and dedication to our family's well-being have been outstanding. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and expert support during the postpartum period. Siobhan has been a true blessing to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for her presence in our lives.

The idea of a doula was something that seemed outlandish to my partner. He did not think we needed to pay money for extra support. From his own words, he’s never been more wrong. As Dan has said, having Siobhan as our doula is the best money we have ever spent. She is knowledgeable with general procedure, and knows the process, which was a huge help for a first time family like ours. She does not make you feel pressured to do anything, although she has a full toolbox of things to implement if necessary. She made our birthing process as smooth and easy as could be. After our experience, we asked other couples who were expecting if they had a doula, because she was so helpful to us. If we have the opportunity to have another miracle in our life, Siobhan will be our first call. She came equipped with knowledge but did not overwhelm us. Overall, she offered what we needed and did not overstep any boundaries. Siobhan is a highlight in our birthing process.

We are so happy we found Siobhan as our birth doula through another mom's referral. We had a great experience with her during my delivery at Mount Auburn hospital.

I was worried that I didn't sign up birth doula until 34 weeks initially, but Siobhan has removed all my concerns and made our whole process so much easier.

During the first initial video call for the introduction, I got to know that Siobhan has quite several years experience at the hospital especially in postpartum unit. After we singing up birth doula agreement, Siobhan was able to squeeze two prenatal visits at our home even though we were already in our 3rd trimester. She helped us nail down our birth plan, discussed all the questions we had, and suggested things we can also look into. 

Siobhan got to Mount Auburn hospital right after we passed the Triage and verified to active labor was happening.S he stayed the whole birth process and two hours postpartum with us. With her being there, I feel so much more relaxed in my birth process. It's so nice of having her there. She made the labor and delivery room as a spa experience, with warm candles, essential oil, and affirmation cards. The nurse and midwife described that they love to come to the room to check on me, as the room was smelling nice and relaxing. She advocated for me for the positions, and assisted the nurse and midwife at Mount Auburn. Quoting their words, "she really knows what she is doing and familiar with the whole process". She also guided my husband how to better support me in the delivery room. I was also very grateful that she stayed until after she's sure I was all set to transfer to the postpartum room.

Again I am so glad I found Siobhan, she's energetic, patient, confident and loves doula not just as a job. She's also responsible that she makes sure she doesn't overbook herself and gives heads-up.

I feel extremely lucky to have found Siobhan! She was very sweet and super helpful with both the birthing process and the support she offered me postpartum. The whole process went very smoothly, from our first meeting to the time she spent in the hospital with me. She was always on time, very flexible and very accommodating to my needs. Overall an extrememly wonderful experience! Would reccommend 100%!!!

We found Siobhan through doulamatch as we were looking for a childbirth doula for the birth of our 2nd child.

From the start, Siobhan came across very professional and knowledgable. She did 2 prenatal visits with us to understand our goals and expectations and helped me come up with a birth plan. 

On the day of labor, we called her when contractions started and she showed up promptly within 30 mins. Siobhan came with us to the hospital and stayed with us throughout the entire labor and delivery. It was about 15 hours in the hospital. Most doulas do not support you in the early phase of contractions, they show up much later. I think it was really helpful to have Siobhan there through the entire process. 

My labor pains were very intense and there were a lot of really stressful moments in the delivery room, Siobhan handled it all very calmly and was a huge support to me. She was fully engaged in the process and tried every way possible to make me as comfortable as possible. She listened to my concerns and needs and responded to them promptly and effectively. At one point, my labor stalled due to the baby's position. Siobhan worked with the nurse and came up with different spinning baby positions to try. This helped a lot to get things progressing again. I have to say Siobhan went above and beyond what was expected of her. 

Even though Siobhan is starting out in her career as a doula, she is very confident, self assured and knowledgeable. She is clearly passionate about her work. You can tell being a doula is more than just a job for her. We had an absolutely great experience working with her and highly recommend her services.

Siobhan was helping us post delivery (postpardum care) and also took care of our 5 year old daughter. She was a saviour angel for us after the already booked Doula withdrew in the middle. Siobhan is very super friendly, professional, punctual, disciplined,  flexible on rates, helpful, reliable, trust worthy, caring and knowldegable. Not to forget that she has neonatal experience from her full time hospital job.  This is a 5 star testimonial for Siobhan as she went above and beyond our expectations.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for a reference. We are happy to answer any questions.

My experience with Siobhan was wonderful! She was beyond empathetic and personable. She was there for me in the drop off a dime. Her presence and confidence made delivering my baby that much easier. I didn't know I needed a doula until I had one. If I choose to have another baby, Siobhan will be my doula of choice. ♥?
