If you are hesitating at all in hiring Allyson, don't! Run, don't walk! Allyson was our "birth back up" support because my husband works out of state and we knew there was a chance that he would not be around when I went into labor. The extra complication? We were looking for someone who could work with me in medical sitautions and be a medical advocate, as I am Autistic and we were pretty sure that early labor without my partner would be the perfect storm of events for a meltdown. And perhaps it would have been, but Allyson was so calm, professional and collected from the moment we called. She was at our apartment in 15 minutes (to be fair, she lives down the street) and navigated packing a hospital bag, tidying the house, feeding the cat and doing everything that needed to be done before she drove me to the hospital. My husband did end up arriving about 12 hours in but Allyson stayed with us for 24 hours of a 32 hour labor and both my husband and I felt so much calmer and more clear headed because she was there, telling us what to expect at each step of the way. Plus (and this is important if you're in second stage labor for 20 hours), she's great to talk to! Allyson is smart, interesting, and a delightful human, as well as a skilled and compassionate dula. 

She continued to support us in the first three months of our daughter's life and was incredibly flexible in terms of when I needed her and for how long each time, working around my sense of overload and my husband going back to work many many hours away. We can both definitively say that both the birth and immediate post-partum experience have been wonderful and that is because of Allyson. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

After delivering our son 2 months early, my husband and I felt extremely overwhelmed and unprepared, and we were so grateful to Allyson for starting our contract earlier than expected due to our son's early arrival. Once she began working with our family, she was not only so warm and caring with our preemie son, but she also would frequently ask me how I was doing postpartum and check in on the entire family as well. She also often followed up with various topics we would discuss while attempting to modify and optimize certain parts of our baby's routine, and she was always willing to adjust to anything new that we were trying. We can't recommend Allyson enough and have already recommended her to various friends and family. We trusted her completely with our son, she was always extremely attentive to all of us, and we are so grateful to her for helping us transition into this new phase of life as a family!

Allyson is an amazing care provider.  Allyson provided our family postpartum care during day and night shifts when our newborn was under 1 month.  We are forever grateful for Allyson's help during the early days of welcoming our baby home and learning how to be new parents.  Allyson was compassionate, considerate, incredibly responsible, down to earth, and on time.  I recommend Allyson as a postpartum doula wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Allyson was a godsend to my family after the birth of our son. She provided my husband and I with support in her unique, gentle, deeply knowledgeable way, which helped us to gain confidence and grow into the parents we are today and will continue to become. Allyson is also one of those special humans who has a talent for anticipating what you need and getting it done all before you even realize  it was desired! Her presence with our family postpartum was both incredibly practical and deeply meaningful. Plus, she was wonderful with our baby boy!

Allyson was an absolute pleasure to work with! She supported me holistically during my first 8 weeks postpartum providing guidance and support on my c-section recovery, breastfeeding journey, and reassurance on the common challenges newborn parents encounter. She is knowledgeable and caring, I felt so confident with my daughter under her care.  I highly recommend working with Allyson - she's the best!
