We absolutely loved having Ali as a key part of "our village." Ali was like having our most supportive and gentle, and least judgmental friend with us during the post-partum period. She's an NYC mom whose been through it all recently so she was knew what we needed even when we didn't know to ask. She acted as another pair of hands when we needed one with the baby, the dogs, or the house. She offered guidance and advice when we asked. She listened and empathized when we complained. The post partum period was so much easier because we had Ali in our corner.

We worked with Ali as our postpartum doula for over two months, starting when our baby was around 3 months old. We initially reached out because my husband was having surgery that would limit his ability to hold our baby or help with a lot around the house for a few weeks. However, we found her support so valuable that we asked her to continue to work with us for several more weeks. We were struggling a lot with sleep at that time, our baby was only contact napping and we needed a way to get a break. Ali was so helpful and supportive from the first moment we met her. During the time she was here, Ali held him for naps so I could get a break. She was proactive in identifying ways that she could help me and always made sure I was getting food and water while breastfeeding. She is also so knowledgeable and easy to talk to that she made it easy to ask for help in areas that I was struggling.
Ali is great with babies and I trusted her to handle our baby when he was crying and fussing. But her real strength is her passion for supporting moms and helping them feel less alone and more supported during such a vulnerable time. She was great at helping me cut through all the conflicting messages I was hearing related to caring for a baby and normalizing the things that I found difficult. Even though she helped us at a time that was really tough for me, I feel so positive looking back on our time with her. I would highly recommend working with her!

Ali was our postpartum doula after the birth of our first child. She was incredible -- a calm, nurturing, and thoughtful presence in our home. She helped me with my recovery, teaching me stretches (she's also a yoga guru!) and supporting me with self care. She also helped around our house, was a wonderful sounding board on topics like breastfeeding and newborn behavior, and helped my husband and I get some desperately needed rest. Our son absolutely loved her and was so relaxed in her presence. To top it off, she is also a professional photographer and took beautiful newborn film photos of our family that we will cherish forever.
We are so grateful to have worked with Ali and highly recommend her.
