I contacted Charity when I was already 3 weeks postpartum. I hadn't planned to hire a doula, but when I was feeling overwhelmed and getting nervous about my husband's return to work, I suddenly urgently wanted some help and wasn't sure where to turn.
I had reached out to several doulas the week I decided I needed support, but Charity stood out to me by her prompt and kind response to my email, flexibility, as well as her offer to come by in-person for a meet/interview at no charge.
I was nervous about the "interview" but she was so calm and reassuring that I felt at ease immediately. We discussed my needs and made a plan to address them. She also made me feel comfortable by making it clear there was no expectation/obligation to hire her and also told me if ever anything came up, I could reach out to her.
Charity worked with me both at home and on an outing to feel more confident about taking care of my daughter and myself going forward. Having her support and knowing I could ask questions or seek help from her made all the difference for me! So glad I met her and am thankful for her help.
Bottom line: Charity is very easy to talk to and comfortable to be around. She was flexible with my needs and schedule. She was knowledgeable and helpful in addressing my questions and concerns. She seemed to genuinely care about my well being and my baby. Would recommend her to anyone seeking support during their pregnancy, delivery, or postpartum.
