Vanessa supported me as a night doula for the first three months of my daughter’s life. As a single mom, I can’t imagine going through that time without her. She was informative and proactive about seeking answers to my questions; taught me how to wrap my LO & use my manual breast pump; cared for baby with loving kindness, and made me feel better-equipped to handle motherhood. She was punctual, a great communicator, and made those not-so-easy, sleep-scarce early days a lot more manageable.

Vanessa is just the most amazing person to have as a doula. They helped me through some rough times during the first few week of my postpartum as a single mother living in the shelter and doing this all by myself. She never judged me, never made me feel uncomfortable, was very supportive, and a great listener.
She has done a lot for me and was there while I was in the shelter and also when I got my new apartment. words can't explain how much I appreciate her not only was she a great doula but a great friend YES FRIEND!
She didn't make it seem like she was working for me she made it seem like she was helping a friend-family in need and that's what we need. She just made everything thing a lot easier for me I can really say that me and my daughter love and appreciate everything she has done
