Testimonial for Kelly Vossberg, CLEC
Before we hired Kelly, I was overwhelmed by parenthood and scared to be left home alone to care for our 6-week-old twins. Thanks to her, we didn't just survive the first months with our babies but created space in our lives to enjoy them and build up our confidence as new parents.
During the 3+ months Kelly worked with our family, she helped me problem-solve breastfeeding and nap challenges, made suggestions to help us make baby care easier in our house, and taught us a host of baby skills that made a huge difference (e.g., baby soothing strategies, how to safely carry both babies at once or load the dishwasher while wearing a baby). She also provided baby care, washed dishes and laundry, and vacuumed. This gave me time to shower, rest, and bond with my babies. She came each day with tons of energy, spent her time with us looking out for how to be most helpful, and left us each time feeling taken care of.
I think there are two things that make Kelly a truly exceptional postpartum doula. First, she is incredibly respectful of what a vulnerable, challenging time having a new baby is. Second, she strikes the perfect balance between listening/observing and suggestions/action. She genuinely cares when she asks "How are you doing?" but she isn't just an empathetic person to talk to. She provides non-judgmental support, makes suggestions, and follows-up.
Being a new parent is challenging, confusing, and rewarding. I'm grateful we started our journey with Kelly on our team!
