Sam has been with our family through two completely different chapters. She was there when our twins came home, and again when we brought our second baby into the world years later. Both experiences couldn’t have been more different, but the one constant was her calm, steady presence.

This time around, as a second-time mom, I thought I knew what to expect, but postpartum hit differently. When we pulled in the driveway with baby fresh from the hospital, she was standing at the front door with our twins, and somehow made the transition feel peaceful and manageable. She asked thoughtful questions about my recovery and feeding, and her expertise shows in how keen and aware she is. I ended up having milk production issues and she connected me with an amazing lactation consultant and even a pelvic floor therapist.

What I love most is that she sees the whole family, not just the baby. She helped the twins feel included, made my husband feel included and heard, and reminded me to slow down and rest. Having her by our side both times has been such a gift. She truly becomes part of the family.

From the moment Sam stepped into our home, everything felt lighter. I’ve had nannies and other support in my life, but very few have the intuition, calm presence, and emotional intelligence she carries. She didn’t just care for our baby... She cared for us as a family — me, my baby, and my husband! Sam has a way of seeing what each family member needs. Whether it was the rest I was afraid to ask for, the reassurance my husband didn’t know he needed, and the peace our baby instantly responded to, she was right there.

She brought warmth, structure, and just a sense of safety that made our home feel sacred and peaceful again. She created a space where I could be honest about the hard parts, where my husband felt involved instead of invisible, and where our baby was held in the calm we’d been craving.

Our family found our footing because of her, and our hearts found a friend for life. I tell everyone I know that Mustard Seed Doula is not just postpartum support, it’s almost like restoration for their whole family.

Samantha came into our lives right when the world shut down, and came back to us too when we had our second baby in 2023. In 2020, we were first-time parents who had no idea what we were doing; We were terrified but also didn't know what to expect with the new "normal" but somehow, Sam brought peace back into our home. She took every safety precaution, but she never felt distant — she brought warmth, calm, and this steady sense that everything was going to be okay.

What stood out most was that she didn’t just take care of the baby — she took care of all of us. She checked in on me when I didn’t know what I needed, helped my husband find his rhythm as a new dad and stay involved and needed too, and made sure our whole home felt settled again. She just got it — the exhaustion, the emotions, the little things no one prepares you for... especially with a global pandemic!

Looking back, I realize she wasn’t just helping us through postpartum — she was helping us become a family. And we loved her so so much that when we became pregnant again, she was one of my first calls! She’s a rare kind of person who makes you feel seen, safe, and capable all at once. We’ll never forget what she gave us.
