Asking Vanessa to come help us during the first two weeks after the baby arrived was one of the best decision we made postpartum. She is extremely caring, thoughtful, and professional with her previous postpartum nurse experience. We've learned a lot of baby soothing and caring skills from her (Our baby loves her a lot!). She also shared local support groups information for breastfeeding and brought in postpartum education booklets to us ahead of time, which really ease our minds before the baby arrived. She always went above and beyond everytime she came to our home and even brought homemade soups for postpartum mama.  I am very grateful to know her as a local support/ resoure whenever we have quetions for our baby girl, and hope we can have more postpartum dulas as her locally in our area. I truly recommend her 100% to all the postpartum moms/ family who needs professional helps and warm support.

Vanessa was wonderful! She was prompt, professional, and made me feel surprisingly more comfortable than I expected! We used her for overnight services when my husband had to get up extra early for work one day and we were struggling with newborn sleep. She stayed up the whole night, took great care of our son, and even finished a load of laundry for us! It was such a gift.

Vanessa is a kind & sweet gentle spirit. She's extremely caring & loving. She puts other people's needs above hers & she's very knowledgeable on anything nursing & pregnancy/ labor & delivery related.

 

When I had pregnancy questions she was always there to answer & give me reassurance & peice of mind. As a first time mom having her in my life has been such a blessing. 

when I went into labor she knew exactly what I needed to do & gave me advice on how to listen to my body & have a quick & easy delivery.

Now being pregnant with baby number two I will for sure have her there again for my labor. She's amazing at what she does & her calm & gentle spirit is exactly what I'll need for an easy labor. 

I definitely recommend her to anyone out there who needs an amazing doula.

I am planning to use Vanessa as my postpartum doula. I have been Vanessa's friend for a few years and I can honestly say she is the nicest most caring person I know. Her energy and the Holy Spirit in her immediately calm any room she walks into. I have never seen her frazzled or upset even when facing difficult circumstances. I swear if I had Vanessa with me everywhere I went I'd never stress again. This is exactly why she is the perfect doula. She's non-judgmental and always knows what to say to cheer me up. Because of her relationship with God and prophetic giftings she intuitively knows what someone needs without them having to ask. I could not recommend her more highly!
