Overall, my partner and I had a fantastic experience working with Cherish as our postpartum doula! She's a compassionate doula who clearly cares about supporting families, and has the expertise that will help you with both labor and in your early days caring for a newborn.
Additional details on our experience: Cherish was very communicative leading up to our delivery, and did a home visit to learn more about our family needs and house set up. After our baby was born, she was a huge help starting in the first few days when we were facing challenges with breastfeeding. Cherish came by on short notice and helped out with our baby latching and helped me get my breast pump set up. In the next several weeks, she did 1-2 overnight visits each week. This enabled my partner and I to get longer stretches of sleep (so important as new parents) as Cherish would care for our baby before and after feedings. She was also there to troubleshoot new postpartum challenges that popped up (breastfeeding, gassy baby, etc) and helped us get comfortable as new parents with things like bathing our baby. Additionally she helped out with a few items around the household like laundry and meal prep. One thing I really appreciated was her flexibility as it's hard to predict what you'll want/need in the postpartum stage and what your schedule will be like. While we only worked with Cherish as our postpartum doula, I have no doubt that she would be an amazing labor doula as well. HIGHLY recommend working with Cherish!
