Larissa is the best! She was recommended to us by a friend, and we are so, so lucky to have worked with her as our postpartum doula. It was our first baby and I'm not sure we would have survived those first few weeks without Larissa. It's a very vulnerable time in the first days post-partum, while you're navigating so much physical, emotional, and mental stress while learning to be a parent. When we were interviewing doulas, we immediately felt comfortable with Larissa. She is professional, knowledgeable, warm, and kind. She never made us feel judged or pressured to parent a certain way. She was so knowledgeable and we were grateful for her help when our baby had reflux. She had many tips and recommendations that really helped our little one. Our baby loved her, our dog loved, our family got to know her when they were visiting and all loved her, too. We would recommend Larissa to anyone. She is truly a gem.

Larissa was an absolute blessing to our family during the first four months with our daughter. As first-time parents, we had countless questions and she always offered thoughtful, reassuring guidance that gave us confidence in those early, uncertain days. Beyond her incredible support with newborn care, she also lent a hand with light housekeeping—which may sound small, but truly made a huge difference in helping us feel settled and supported at home. Her calm presence, wealth of knowledge, and warm encouragement eased so much of our stress and allowed us to focus on bonding with our baby. We felt seen, cared for, and empowered under her guidance, and we honestly can’t imagine those early months without her. I would recommend Larissa to any new family—she is truly exceptional.

Larissa is the absolute best!!! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She is reliable, knowledgeable and such a joy to be around. My baby especially loved her caring, bubbly and fun personality. She had a lot of tips for me on how to help her tolerate tummy time better, alternative breast feeding positions, treatment of cradle cap, etc. When I told Larissa that the baby had begun refusing the bottle, she started to give her the bottle at night and now, baby is taking the bottle just fine! I completely trusted her in my home and with my child. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a post partum doula.

Larissa is a baby whisperer! She took very good care of our 3 week old son, and I was able to rest without a worry. Larissa also baby sits my toddler every now and then. Every time she visits, she fills our home with positivity and young energy! Thank you Larissa for all the love and above and beyond support!

It was immense pleasure to work with Nurturing Hands Doula. My wife and I are new parents without any help or assistance and we were so exhausted , overwhelmed, anxious and sleep deprived before I reached out to Carla. Larissa and Carla both sisters worked their charm like a magician. They were amazing with our little one and we got good night sleep for first few weeks. They are highly professional, punctual and very experienced. We cannot imagine how stressful it would have been without them. Carla also provided Maria for next few weeks who is an excellent Doula. Maria is still helping us and she is very flexible and always goes extra mile for you. I wish I could provide more than 5 stars for Larissa, Carla and Maria
