Testimonial for Ellen Reis
As someone with a family history of postpartum depression and anxiety, I knew I wanted as much support as possible during this major life transition. When I started thinking about having kids, one thing was clear: I wanted someone to care for me, too—not just the baby. That’s what led me to hire Ellen as our postpartum doula. And after meeting her, I quickly realized I wanted her by my side for the birth as well.
At the hospital, Ellen was a calm and steady presence. She advocated for me when I needed it most and made sure my voice was heard and my best interests were protected. She helped me feel grounded, supported, and safe in a moment that could have easily felt overwhelming.
In the weeks that followed, Ellen was there every step of the way—overnights, daytime visits, and everything in between. She helped with cooking, laundry, lactation and pumping support, and a million little things that made those early days more manageable. More than anything, she helped me feel held during one of the most vulnerable seasons of my life.
I’m deeply grateful for Ellen’s care, wisdom, and presence. If you’re considering working with a doula, I highly recommend Ellen’s services.
