We engaged Whitney to do overnight doula care when our little one was about 6 weeks old and we were exhausted from the sleepless nights. Right away we could tell that she has a high degree of professionalism in how thorough, thoughtful and organized she was over email and over zoom in addressing our questions and concerns as first time parents. We first engaged her in a 4-hour daytime shift to see how she was in person and the chemistry with our kiddo.
Whitney was great in person - meticulous in protecting the health of herself and the family, a mellow and calm presence, and very friendly and had a great sense of humor. She not only listened to my birth story with great empathy but also helped me fix how I was breastfeeding to ease the back pains I was experiencing as well as the fast let down that overwhelemed my kiddo. She also taught me to use the wrap to babywear, to further ease my back pain. These changes greatly helped with my back pain and made taking care of our kiddo a lot easier and more enjoyable.
We then engaged Whitney in overnight care, and she has been fantastic. She sends us a log at the end of every shift with observations of any abnormalities, as well as suggested resources for anything that we need.
Would highly recommend Whitney to anyone looking for an empathetic, supportive, warm yet very professional post-partum doula!
