Testimonial for Noliko (Noriko) Utsuzawa

I had asked Noliko to help me with my newborn daughter last year right after she was born and it was the best decision for myself and my daughter that I had ever made. She came in and help me in any way that I needed such as watching my daughter so that I could get some rest or helping me put my daughter to sleep when I was having difficulty with having her sleep by herself. During a time when everything was new to me and I didn't know how to do so many things, it was such a relief to be able to have someone like Noliko to lean on and ask the many many questions that come up from taking care of a newborn for the first time. Being a single mother, I struggled a lot with feeling like I was alone and that I could never get any time to myself but just knowing that Noliko was just a phone call away, it helped me both physically and mentally heal from giving birth and deal with the struggles of motherhood. Noliko has such a calm and non judgemental demeanor that always left me feeling at ease and open to confiding in her about anything I had questions about. I never felt judged for not being able to do something and when I would ask her something, she would always reply in a caring way that always made me feel that my feelings were vaild and important. She knew how to always reply by never dismissing my concerns but always putting them in a positive light. I am forever grateful for all that she has done for me and my daughter, and know that she has done the same for so many new mothers.
