Testimonial for Aimee Faith
We were so fortunate to have Aimee as our postpartum doula. As new parents during a pandemic, with almost no experience with babies, and no family in the area that could help, Aimee was our only help during those first few months. We really appreciated how thoughtful, caring and skillful was in all aspects - she always arrived early, took great care of our daughter and calmed her even during the fussiest times, prepared delicious, nourising food for us, and gave us many tips related to newborn care, breastfeeding and parenting.
From the moment we met, Aimee fit right in, and we felt so at ease having her around. I still remember what a huge difference she made from the first day she came - she knew instantly how to calm a crying baby, brought us a really good home-made, seasonal soup, I got to take a long, restful nap, and my husband went for a run. Depending on the day, sometimes she would put baby to sleep or play with her, cook a meal for us (always healthy and vegetarian according to our diet), clean the kitchen and spend time talking to us whenever we needed support. Aimee is super empathic and also has a good sense of humor. She was also super quick to reply to any of my texts whenever i had any questions.
Aimee is knowledgeable and could answer our many, many questions and provide additional resources. She tought us how to calm a fussy baby using different techniques, she showed me multiple breastfeeding positions, and even how to give baby a bottle. I also appreciated that she cared about our preferences - for instance, I was firm in encouraging independent sleep even during those first few weeks and not let our baby fall asleep in our arms. Aimee made sure to respect our preferences and I could trust her fully at all times.
Finally, Aimee was extremely safe when it comes to Covid-19 precautions and was expecting the same from us, which was perfect for our team.
