Yolanda was the best doula from start to finish! As a third time mom, I wanted to experience the support that having a doula could offer for my birthing experience and I am so glad I chose Yolanda. She was attentive, professional, easy to communicate with and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend her services. She is the best!

Yolanda is the greatest blessing of my pregnancy. 36, alone, first pregnancy, and having spent my first 6 months in FEAR and uncertainty, Yolanda came into my life and her entire aura put me at ease. She made me feel like a sister, a relative she was caring for., not a client. Yolanda guided me through my pregnancy with practical advice on comfort, preparing for labor and birth, getting my mind right, preparing home for babys arrival. 

I had some challenges during my labour and Yolanda was also there to hold my hand and encourage me to push through and advocate for me. When my son arrived, she drove us to appointments, helped care for my son and support me in my healing and journey into motherhood. 

I thank the universe for bringing Yolanda into my life. I could not have done it without her.

Yolonda is truly a God send! I was a high risk pregnancy with my first child at 36 years old. Yolonda prepped me mind, body and spirit. She gave great advice and supported me all the way up to my delivery! I wish I had her for post pregnancy, I would recommend that to everyone new mom! She's a professional and full of wisdom!!!

Yolanda is truly amazing when it comes to helping you use your voice and being a calm zen during the birthing process. Now being able to go through 2 births with her, she is family!

Yolanda truly saved our sanity during the first weeks of our postpartum journey as new parents! Our little girl was high needs and wanted to be held 24/7. Yolanda made sure all of our daughters needs were taken care of, including being held for sleep, so that I could sleep in between feeds. There's nothing more important than a well rested mama and dada to take care of a newly earthbound baby and Yolanda made sure we got our sleep!

 

We are eternally grateful for all of Yolanda's help :-)

 

We will definitely use Yolanda as our postpartum doula again whenever we have a second!

Yolanda is such a delight. Over anything she is a mother and that really showed through when she was caring for me during labor. Even though our plan did not come to fruition, she helped keep me calm and reassured me we were doing what was best for me and baby girl. I would choose her over and over!

Yolanda is amazing. She took great care of our daughter from 2 weeks old until she was almost 4 months. She always followed our lead and was helpful in helping set up good sleep habits. It was comforting to know we had someone experienced and that we trusted to take care of her while we got much needed sleep. We always were able to wake up well rested and set up for a successful day. We are going to miss her for sure.

Yolanda was an absolute joy to work with, especially for two very nervous parents. She provided exceptional postpartum doula services along with overnight care for our baby boy, instantly putting us at ease with her warm and loving presence. Yolanda's advice was invaluable, and her friendly demeanor made each visit a highlight of our day. Her support during late-night nursing sessions was a tremendous comfort. Reflecting on our time with her, we have only the fondest memories and wholeheartedly recommend Yolanda to anyone in need of postpartum doula and overnight care.

Yolanda was the best postpartum doula we could have asked for! She provided overnight care for our newborn daughter. She was such a calming and warm presence - not only for our daughter but also for us as nervous first time parents. She always had helpful tips and tricks and took great care overnight so mom and dad could get a little sleep. We would have been lost without her!
