Testimonial for Meema Spadola, PCD (DONA), CLC
Meema Spadola is THE BEST post-partum doula in the world! For the restof my life, I will remember how useful she was in these first few days post-pregnancy that are otherwise filled with so much uncertainty and discomfort. On Meema's first visit - within 4 hours, she’d gone through our fridge and made us fresh smoothies, given me a foot massage (specific to nursing), showed us how to use a moby wrap and ergo carrier, given me great tips for engorgement (my milk had just come in), examined/adjusted my latch, sterilized the breast pump parts and taught me to use it as back-up, ordered me a nursing bra from Yummy Mummy, boiled me an herbal sitz bath tincture, and more things that I am probably not remembering right now. She was dynamo. The best part is that she did all these things without even being asked. She is incredibly pro-active and knowledgeable. She acts on her initiative without ever being pushy - just extremely considerate and helpful. After her visits, we felt empowered and relaxed. I’d grab her for at least a 16 hour slot – the best money you’ll ever spend. I cannot recommend her enough for post-partum doula work. Without exaggeration, she was truly a life-saver. By the end of the 16 hour block – you and your partner have learned everything you need about looking after a newborn (and the new-mommy!).
