Testimonial for Kaleigh Pugliese
Kaleigh came into my life through a beautiful serendipity that brought me to the mamas support circle that she started in the area i had just moved to. i was immediately struck by her deeply kind heart & very attuned presence. i now know that this is a kind of generosity and holiness that comes from her deep devotion to Life, to God, to mamas, to the beauty of the journey of motherhood... the beauty, yes, and also the sheer immensity of the task of birthing & nurturing human life. after the birth of my son (7 weeks ago), Kaleigh brought me a plethora of nourishing foods — soup, fresh juice, healthy sweet treats. her culinary skills are truly exceptional (flavorful + healthful). and she made her self so available to me for additional support, should i need it. fast forward several weeks (2 weeks ago), i realized i was needing more support than i was getting. i reached out to Kaleigh & received so much from her — more food (extremely affordable, for the incredible quality & amount) and the most uplifting care when she delivered it. something i heard Kaleigh recommend is that women spend more $ on postpartum care than on their birth. i totally agree with this — life as a new mother is incredibly full + demanding, and the assistance that Kaleigh had provided me (both with practical things — food, breastfeeding tips — as well as in spiritual / emotional realms) has been invaluable. i wish i could go back to my freshly-postpartum self and recommend reaching out for early-on, and more consistent, help during those first weeks. i thought “we couldn’t afford” that kind of ongoing service, but i now see the immense value in it. worth every cent. please, if you’re reading this — get some postpartum doula care, and get it from Kaleigh! she is skilled & deeply caring, can’t imagine a better combination of qualities to support mamas, babies, & families in their journeys ??
