Katia began working for our family as a doula as soon as I brought my third child home from the hospital. We had her 5 nights/week for approximately two months. She assisted me with breastfeeding and our night time schedule with baby as well as helping us with baby laundry and cleaning bottles/dishes etc. She was absolutely wonderful and made the transition home much more manageable. she took as much burden off of me at night as she could but also helped me maintain a pumping schedule to aid me getting more rest when she was with us. She always had notes/great feedback on changes in the baby and made wonderful product suggestions to me before and after the birth of the baby as things were needed to support the new baby. You can tell she loves what she does and even our older kids enjoyed having her around when they saw her at bedtime in the evenings. Katia has such a loving way about her and we were sad to have to let her go after the baby was on a good schedule and we no longer needed her. Any family would be blessed to have her as their doula.

Katia and Gabby are great. They helped us at night for about 4 months starting shortly after our son was born. They are so nice, dependable, great with newborns, and clearly cared A LOT about our son. We were first-time parents and they gave us a lot of tips and tricks that were very helpful...and he's been sleeping through the night since 4.5 months old and it's all thanks to Katia and Gabby.
