Larissa is a phenomenal doula that I highly recommend. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and fosters a safe and supportive environment. In the short 6 weeks we had together, Larissa successfully started sleep training our baby. By the end of our time together, our baby was sleeping 4-6 hours through the night. We really appreciate how hard she worked for us. She brought us so many baby carriers to try, taught us how to baby wear, gave advice on breast pumps, and even taught us how to give baths and file nails. She is a hard and diligent worker and we appreciate her efforts! She is a wealth of knowledge and I'm always amazed at how much she knows. Larissa was so instrumental in our baby journey that I'm already hoping that she'll be available for my future pregnancies. I only wish that my baby could remember the love, care, and attention she was given by Larissa!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Larissa. She was our postpartum doula, helping us when we welcomed our second child. Larissa is very experienced with babies and was extremely helpful during the first few months of the life of our daughter, which allowed us to rest. Her knowledge and guidance helped us establish a structured routine for our daughter, which helped her to sleep longer stretches at night.
Anything we had questions about, she was quick to answer, and even if she didn’t know the answer, she had a fantastic network and was able to connect us with the right resources and/or people. She is also very reliable and proactive.
Our family was very fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with Larissa, and highly recommend her if you need any help with your baby.
