I had the incredible struck of luck meeting Doula Cheryl the very day I delivered my baby at Hoboken Hospital. We had never met before, but from the moment she entered the room, she felt like an angel sent straight to me. I was soooo overwhelmed—my emotions were all over the place, my blood pressure kept spiking, and I was experiencing intense anxiety, especially due to interactions with an on-call OB. Cheryl immediately grounded me. She had this calm, even-toned, and gentle way of speaking that soothed my nerves and helped me breathe again. Even though she was there as part of her certification observations, she showed up with the confidence, care, and intuition of someone who was clearly born to be a doula. When my baby was born in distress, Cheryl was right there—hands-on, attentive, and fully present, making sure both my baby and I were okay. She didn’t just support me; she also made sure my husband felt seen and included every step of the way. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner in my pregnancy. Her presence was truly a gift, and I can’t say enough about how impactful she was in such a short amount of time. I would recommend Cheryl to any family a million times over. She is truly one of a kind.
