We are so grateful we had Mari as our doula, especially as first-time parents. She was incredibly patient, reassuring, knowledgeable, and always made us feel supported. From pregnancy through postpartum, she was super responsive and always willing to help whenever we had questions or needed guidance.
During labor, she helped us understand the pros and cons of different interventions so we could make informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed. She also provided hands-on support during contractions with counter pressure and other comfort techniques that made a huge difference.
It also meant so much to us that she’s bilingual. My husband’s first language is Spanish, and having someone who could fully support and communicate with both of us made the whole experience feel much more comfortable and inclusive.
Her postpartum support has been incredible too. She checked in not just on recovery and the baby, but also on mother's emotional wellbeing, and even helped with meal prep during those exhausting first weeks when we didn’t have much family nearby. She has such a warm, calming presence while still being extremely professional.
If we have a second baby, Mari will be one of the first people we call. We truly cannot recommend her enough.
