Testimonial for Shaina Moreira
Shaina was an absolute gift as our postpartum doula. After coming home from the hospital and a few sleepless nights, we quickly learned we needed extra hands. Shaina provided daytime support to enable us to recharge, but also much needed education as first time parents. From learning to understand baby cues, tips for improving sleep, how to make our baby enjoy bath time — you name it, Shaina was able to teach us the tricks up her sleeve and eased us into implementing them independently.
Shaina supported us for two months. Each day, we started with a goal, which could be as simple as catching up on sleep or getting in a workout. Some days, I had no specific goal but Shaina still took initiative to do things she felt would be helpful. For example, she would proactively collect and do the baby laundry, empty the dishwasher or stock my pump station. All things you’d expect her to help with, sure — but before I even thought to mention it, it was already handled.
A number of soft factors made all the difference. Shaina truly cares and is passionate about helping new parents succeed. If I mentioned I had an issue, she would provide insights from past experiences or link me to products she’s seen others find success with. As a new mom, I’d forget to eat or drink water. I was exclusively pumping, so knowing how important it was to continuously consume and hydrate, I’d find a liquid IV by my side or she would nudge me to finish my breakfast. And importantly, Shaina brought energy, confidence and support into our home. She is honest and trustworthy, and was such a delight to be around during the blurry postpartum days.
If you have the opportunity to work with her, take it!
