Post a testimonial for Margaret Chen

Having Margaret as our post-partum doula was a wonderful experience. We didn't have a post-partum doula with our first baby, so I was wondering what I was going to have her do to fill her time with us. But by the end of the 6 weeks, I couldn't imagine her leaving! Margaret helped with keeping our kitchen in order, making bottles, making recipes we could freeze or have for dinner that night. She washed and folded laundry, stripped our bed sheets and made the beds. But above all that, she helped care for my baby. She held her when I needed a nap or shower, she helped me bathe her when I needed an extra set of hands and she was a calm, sane voice sharing her expertise when things got chaotic or emotional. She made the transition of bringing home our second baby much smoother than it would have been without her. I am so grateful for her time with us, and so happy that a service like this exists for other families! Thank you Margaret!

I booked Margaret for her grief support sessions after I lost my baby when I was 5 months pregnant. She helped me to process the loss and take care of my body during the first few months. Her experience and compassion helped me to have a safe place to share my feelings and process what was going on.

Margaret was my doula for a year. The variety and depth of services she provided to me for a year during my pregnancy, birth and beyond helped me to feel so empowered and equipped as a mom. She is compassionate, and calm and always made me feel I could do what I was faced with. Any mom would be lucky to have her as their support.

Margaret was an amazing doula to me. As a single mom giving birth to my first child, I was nervous and had a lot of fears around giving birth. She was there every step of the way to help me feel strong and empowered during my birth. I recommend her to any mom looking for a doula.
