Testimonial for Maria Elena Baez-Dominguez
My husband and I hired Maria as our post-partum doula this past August. As first time parents we did not know what to expect and really wanted someone with experience to lean on. One of the things that stuck with me is this sentiment: Many people in your life have raised maybe one or two children, a doula has seen MANY diverse births and worked with many diverse babies and famililal units.
I ended up not having the exact birth plan I wanted and then struggled with breastfeeding post-partum. Maria was there in many difficult moments, allowing me to cry in frustration and offering informed ways to help me overcome my challenges. She was not judgemental when I flip flopped between trying to breastfeed, exclusively pumping and ultimately formula feeding but rather offered me support and guidance in whatever stage of my journey or frame of mind I was in. The best way I can describe welcoming Maria into your world post partum is like being enveloped in a firm, warm, hug where you are seen, worshipped, and mothered. The best part of all is that your new little babe gets even more snuggles than you can provide!
