When I was told that the doula who had supported me during my birth would not be continuing with my postpartum care and that a new doula would be assigned, I was honestly a little apprehensive. I wasn’t sure what to expect from someone new during such a vulnerable and exhausting time. Those worries disappeared almost immediately after meeting Ester.
She came into our home months later and was incredibly warm, attentive, and supportive. She was wonderful with my baby—so calm, gentle, and naturally caring and I felt completely comfortable having her look after him. She also helped with the things that made such a difference as a new mom, from washing dishes and giving me time to rest, to providing wellness care, thoughtful advice, and emotional support.
What has meant the most to me is that her care never felt like simply a job. She genuinely connected with both of us and has continued to check in on my baby even after her time supporting us in person. That level of thoughtfulness and genuine care is something I’ll always appreciate.
I’m so grateful she became part of our postpartum journey. She was kind, dependable, knowledgeable, nurturing, and truly supportive, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any new mom.
