Testimonial for Shelly Paskowitz
I truly could not have imagined a better experience than the one I had with Shelly. From the moment I hired her, she was consistently present—always available to answer questions and checking in regularly through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a first-time mom, her in-home visits were incredibly educational and reassuring, helping me feel more prepared and confident every step of the way.
When my provider recommended an induction, Shelly was the first person I called. She responded immediately, listened with care, and helped me talk through options based on the birth preferences we had already discussed. She was a guiding light throughout the entire birth process—calm, knowledgeable, and completely attuned to what I needed. Even with my husband and mom there, Shelly’s presence brought a unique sense of peace and expertise. She stayed at the hospital for hours after the birth to make sure everything was going smoothly, and her support during that time was invaluable.
In the postpartum period, Shelly continued to show up with the same warmth and support. She visited my home, helped me with breastfeeding, and even weighed the baby before and after feeds to check how much he was consuming. That extra level of care and attention went far beyond what I expected.
I can’t say enough how thankful I am. Shelly is not only a phenomenal doula, but a truly kind and compassionate person. I feel so lucky to have had her by my side.
