We booked Alexis to be our doula at about month 5 into our pregnancy and she was great. She was down to earth - realistic, not idealistic - and she listens instead of tells.
She is responsive. Of all the doulas we interviewed, she was by far the most responsive to emails, texts, and calls - always answering or getting back to us within a few hours.
Throughout the rest of our pregnancy, she made us feel more than welcome to bother her about anything. She answered our questions about baby care, her scheduling process, how she operates, breast feeding tips, her vaccination records - anything. She made us feel good about all of our concerns and choices - and that was the more important thing to us, before-birth. At no point did we feel judged about birthing choices, feeding choices, or medical choices.
Due to unfortunate circumstances, our baby ended up premature and immunocompromised, so we ended up choosing to take time off work to care for baby ourselves, not wanting to risk the possibility of bringing in any outside respiratory illnesses or Covid. Alexis was completely understanding.
If you go with Alexis, you'll get the best in,
1. Responsiveness
2. Understanding
3. Non-judgement
We highly recommend Alexis!
