We are so grateful to have had Maura as our doula during a pivotal time for our family. Maura went above and beyond in supporting us as we transitioned from one child to two. She helped us navigate the joys and challenges of welcoming a newborn while caring for our very active 2-year old.

Having raised our first child without a doula, we can honestly say that our experience with Maura the second time around was night and day. She made everything so much easier, providing the guidance and reassurance that helped us enjoy this special time. With Maura’s help, our mental health was much better, we felt less stressed, and much more supported.

Maura has an exceptional ability to juggle the needs of both a toddler, newborn, and helping us out with light chores around the house. She also did a great job of listening and respecting the way we wanted to take care of our newborn.

One of the things we appreciated most was Maura’s flexibility and communication. She worked around our schedule, always finding ways to be there for us whenever we needed support, even while we were managing a household move and frequent business trips.

Above all, Maura’s empathy and warmth helped bring stability to our home. She understood the emotional ups and downs of welcoming a new baby. By the end, she truly felt like part of our family and will continue to be a close friend.

We cannot recommend Maura highly enough for anyone seeking doula support. She is a true professional, a compassionate presence, and was an invaluable part of our family’s journey.

With gratitude,
Thao & Sean McKenna
