Testimonial for Shelly Paskowitz
Shelly made the experience of bringing our daughter into the world truly incredible. We are first time parents and knew we wanted the support of a doula. From the very beginning, she brought a calming, grounded energy that made us feel supported and empowered throughout the entire process. She visited our home twice at the end of my pregancy, which gave us time to build a relationship and helped us feel at ease before labor.
When my birth plan changed unexpectedly with a surprise induction, Shelly jumped right in without missing a beat. She helped us navigate the changes with confidence, ensuring we felt educated and empowered in every decision we made alongside the hospital staff. Thanks to her guidance, I had a wonderful birth experience that combined both natural and medicated approaches.
Even the nurses and midwives at the hospital—who work with many doulas—told us how lucky we were to have found Shelly. They were impressed by how seamlessly she worked with the team and remarked on what an exceptional doula she is.
After our daughter arrived, Shelly has continued to be a steady presence. She visited us at home to help with breastfeeding and has continued to check in with us as we adjust to life as new parents. She’s been our go-to person for questions—especially around breastfeeding—and a source of reassurance during this big transition.
Shelly is not only deeply knowledgeable and trustworthy, but also a joy to get to know. She truly was the best guide we could have asked for, and we’re so grateful to have had her by our side.
