I am a single mother by choice. Heather was my doula post-partum, two mornings a week for 3 months. She started when my daughter was 3 weeks old. Heather offered me the break I needed every week to take care of other aspects of my life and take care of me. I knew I can only make my daughter happy and take great care of her if I was happy and rested myself. I selected Heather because of her own experience with children.
1- Heather is kind and reliable with kids. I was comfortable letting my daughter with heather while I was going grocery shopping. My daughter was always smiling and talking to Heather. She also helped my daughter positioning for belly time.
2- Heather was a great emotional support. My daughter had excessive gas and had dyschezia. It was time and energy consuming to constantly try to cheer up my daughter, mainly at night time. I could easily talk about it to Heather even my text message when she was not here. Heather also prep some food for me and give me the time to take naps and longer showers.
3- Heather is a wonderful and useful source of information. Heather offered me countless great tips, eg. with daycare and different aspects to make things easier. She made great recommendations for breastfeeding consultant, chiropractor, and doctors. Heather is still a very good source of information despite she is no longer my & my daughter’s doula.
4- Heather is easy to work with. It is very easy to arrange time if the normal schedule does not work. I also took a infant CPR class, which get rescheduled for the following day. Heather made herself available from 6-10PM despite this last min change.
5- Heather respect the safety. Heather wears a mask for the whole time around my daughter and wash her hands as soon as she arrives, which is important to me.
I am very thankful for Heather!
