I recently had the pleasure of working with Teresa. I had a complicated C-section and my son was 4 days old when Teresa started working for me. Her kind and thoughtful nature immediately put me at ease and I trusted her with my son completely. She went above and beyond to help me and was very resourceful. As a new mother I had so many questions and she was patient with me and answered all my queries. The nights that she was off, she was able to find another amazing doula to help us. I would definitely hire Teresa again in the future and recommend her to anyone who is a new mother and is navigating motherhood for the first time. Thank you Teresa!

I recently had the wonderful experience of working with Teresa as our overnight postpartum doula, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the moment she arrived, I felt an immediate sense of relief. Her warm demeanor and compassionate approach made all the difference during those challenging early days with my newborn.

She provided invaluable support, helping with night feedings and soothing my baby, which allowed me to get much-needed rest. Her knowledge about newborn care was impressive, and she shared helpful tips and tricks that made me feel more confident as a new parent.

Beyond her practical assistance, she was a calming presence in our home. She listened to my concerns and offered reassurance, making me feel supported and empowered. I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and I can't imagine navigating those first few weeks without her. If you're considering hiring a postpartum doula, I wholeheartedly recommend her!

My wife and I have had nothing but nerves before and after having our firstborn.

Teresa was nothing but helpful in teaching us proper care techniques while she wasn't on duty overnight allowing my wife and I to get restful sleep.

She was punctual, forthright, and honest about things she thinks we could do better or improve on in the care of our child.

We've had nothing but good experiences with her and happily refer her whenever we're asked.

Teresa was such an amazing support! We were so lucky to be able to work with her. She is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to answer all our questions. She supported us overnight with our first baby boy for 8 weeks, 3-4 nights a week. We cannot put into words how grateful we are for the rest and support we received from her. Would highly recommend her to anyone expecting.

Teresa was great! She was our post-partem doula until week 12 and was a godsend. She was punctual, communicative, and took great care of our son. It was so incredible to have one night a week when we could get some sleep and know she was watching our little guy. She was also a great resource - we always had a couple of questions when she showed up and she gave us great advice and tips!

10/10, would definitely recommend her as a doula to anyone.
