We were so grateful to have Kimberly’s support during the postpartum period. The early weeks with a new baby came with many questions, and having someone experienced we could turn to made a real difference for our family.

Kimberly was warm, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She helped us with practical things that made everyday life much easier, from finding more comfortable nursing positions to working through pumping routines and figuring out what worked best for our feeding plan. She also helped us establish baby care routines, which made us feel much more comfortable caring for our baby. What we appreciated most was that she took the time to listen to our concerns, and shared personalized advice rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. We are truly thankful for her kindness, professionalism, and hands-on support, and would highly recommend her to families looking for postpartum and lactation support.

I highly recommend Kimberly as a lactation doula, especially if you’re feeling lost or underprepared toward the end of your third trimester or during postpartum.

She was incredibly proactive and organized in helping me prepare with all the essentials before my baby arrived. She helped me understand what to expect at each stage, including colostrum, transitional milk, breastfeeding, pumping, and maintaining milk supply.

Preparing for everything on my own felt overwhelming, but having Kimberly’s support made such a difference. During postpartum, I felt reassured knowing that I could reach out to her with questions or concerns even outside of our scheduled doula visits, and she was always responsive and helped me work through them. With her guidance and support, I was also able to steadily increase and maintain my milk supply over time.

Kimberly is very friendly, easygoing, and supportive, which made every visit feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m very grateful to have had her support during such an important and challenging transition into motherhood. I would definitely recommend her to other expecting and new moms!

Heartfelt thank you for all your support during our postpartum journey! The most valuable aspect of her postpartum support was her guidance through my lactation and pumping journey. She helped me establish an effective pumping routine, understand flange sizing, and confidently navigate feeding challenges during a difficult time. Beyond that, she taught us newborn care essentials, including baby massage and soothing techniques, which made us feel much more prepared as first-time parents.


Thank you for being such a caring, knowledgeable, and reassuring presence during such a special chapter of our lives. We’re so grateful for everything you did for our little family.

Our family was so incredibly lucky to have Kimberly support us during my fourth trimester with my second child. After working with several postpartum doulas with my first child, I knew how important it was to find the right fit. Not only was Kimberly knowledgeable, organized, reliable, gentle, personable, and caring--she was able to respond calmly to our questions and concerns about breastfeeding, pumping, and baby care in general. She's full of personal wisdom, educational resources, and an interest in continuing education in her field.

I'm so grateful to have had her steady guidance in those first early months and have no doubt that she was the key to giving us the best, strongest start to being a family of four that we could have ever imagined! Any family would be fortunate to engage her services--the tender care she gave to our baby and friendship she granted to us made a big impact on our lives.

Kimberly is a highly professional and fully certified doula, and we are so grateful for her support during the most challenging early days after bringing our baby home from the hospital. Our baby was extremely fussy for several days, and even though we had three people at home helping, we still found it incredibly hard. Kimberly made a huge difference—whenever she came, our whole family felt happier and genuinely looked forward to her arrival.

When Kimberly came, we would always spend some time chatting with her, asking all kinds of first-time parent questions. She is incredibly patient, calm, and professional, and she answered every question thoroughly, helping us feel more confident and reassured in caring for our baby. It meant so much to have someone we could trust to guide us through those uncertain moments.

She helped us get much-needed sleep and always took the time to check in with us and give us a note on what happened to our bay during her visit. Her guidance on breastfeeding and pumping was practical, professional, and very effective.

Kimberly is punctual, reliable, and extremely responsive to text messages. She provides advice on helping our baby sleep, increasing milk supply, and referred us to other helpful resources and professionals when needed.

We truly felt supported, cared for, and more confident as new parents thanks to Kimberly. We would highly recommend her to any family looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula.

Can't say enough good things about Kimberley! She was such a huge support for us and our twins as we navigated the early days of postpartum. Her warm, calm demeanor made us comfortable having her in our home right away, which is so important during such a vulnerable time. Bonus: she has lots of training in lactation education and is great about sharing that knowledge!

Kimberly has been of incredible support during my lactation journey! Her tips and tricks have helped me so much not only from my supply perspective, but also emotionally as she continues to check and refine her recommendations based on the current stage . I cannot recommend Kimberly enough for all her support!

Kimberly is the best! I had a prenatal lactation appointment with her and she was wonderful to talk to and has a wealth of knowledge. I left the appointment feeling more confident and very supported in all the questions I had and will continue to have as we get closer to our little girl’s due date! Thank you Kimberly for all you do!!

Kimberly is the BEST!! She’s very easy going, very easy to talk to/work with on immediate postpartum needs. She always goes above and beyond whether it’s sharing resources, following up on ongoing concerns and really taking care of the mom and the baby. She didn’t only take the best care of my newborn but also ‘played with’ my 4.5 year old. She’s my daughter’s new best friend!! Anyone would be lucky to have her support! :)

I can't recommend Kimberly enough as a postpartum doula! Even before our baby arrived, she was a rockstar, sending over incredibly helpful resources on everything from breastfeeding to nutrition and pumping. Those really helped calm my nerves and made me feel so much more prepared.

Once our little one was here, Kimberly was an absolute lifesaver, especially with all things lactation and pumping. But seriously, the biggest gift she gave us was sleep! There were so many nights where she was the only one who could calm our baby and get her to sleep, which meant my husband and I actually got some much-needed rest. She also checked in on me often during the day, always ready with a plan to tackle whatever new challenge popped up. If you're looking for support, Kimberly is truly amazing!

If you are looking for a reliable, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, up-to-date educated, emotionally intelligent postpartum doula who possesses strong newborn care skills and experience and offers calm, nonjudgmental and empathetic support, Kimberly is your person! Kimberly first visited me the night after my discharge from the hospital when I was an emotional and physical wreck. Kimberly’s presence, all-encompassing support —then and in the days that followed— assistance with everything from lactation guidance and practical tips, feeding positions, burping, to swaddling, changing diapers, bathing, massage, carriers and wraps use, made me gain my confidence back and helped me understand and normalize all the changes and challenges that come with new motherhood. Kimberly is extremely resourceful and is a great communicator, which crucial, because baby blues can hit anytime, and it is truly invaluable to know that Kimberly can listen and hear you and offer, in a compassionate manner, a solution or simply a shoulder to cry on. Without a doubt, Kimberly will provide a superb, personalized support to any new mother and her baby, helping with anything and everything postpartum. I’m so grateful I had the chance to know Kimberly and be supported by her during such a vulnerable time.

Kimberly was an amazing postpartum doula, who really cares about your well being. A huge loss for moms during postpartum is sleep, and Kimberly made sure that I get as much sleep possible during the night shift, even if it was for just an extra hour or so, it makes such a difference. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have someone else help with washing pumping parts when you have to do that multiple times a day. Kimberly also provides lots of great resources and asks you what you would like to know more, I think that is great since it’s not an overwhelming amount of information and really caters to what you want to know more of in your postpartum journey. Kimberly is also a great person to open up to if you are struggling mentally or having a tough time through the highs and lows of postpartum. Having a shoulder to lean on and the support meant everything to me.
