Testimonial for Noliko (Noriko) Utsuzawa
Noliko has been nothing short of amazing as both my birth and postpartum doula. As a first time mom, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect, but having her by our side through every step made such a difference. From our very first call to her visit to our home, it was clear how much knowledge and experience she brings to her care. We immediately knew we had made the right choice. She shared helpful tips and resources even before labor began, including letting us know about a birth fair we didn’t know of.
During labor, Noliko was calm, reassuring, and attentive. She asked the right questions when I couldn’t and guided me through my contractions. Her presence brought so much comfort and grounding to both me and my husband.
After birth, her postpartum support was truly invaluable. Having Noliko with us overnight gave us peace of mind and the chance to rest, knowing our baby was in the best hands. She brought homemade lactation cookies and was always attentive, offering thoughtful suggestions whenever she noticed something or when I had a question during the night.
We are endlessly grateful for her support and can’t imagine going through this journey without her.
