Testimonial for Heather Keeney
We have never worked with a doula before, as we always felt we have a great partnership and can handle anything that comes our way- and we can! But when a friend saw how exhausted we were after our second boy was born, juggling a toddler, newborn, and a complex stage of life, she highly recommended we consider contacting a postpartum doula. I was not sold on this as, who can take better care of your newborn other than yourself? Finally, after a night of little-to-no sleep, I found Heather through a work network website, saw she had great reviews, and with a hesitant heart, I contacted her.
From our very first interaction with Heather, I could tell she was loving, supportive, nonjudgmental, and oh-so-wise. Things only got better from there. Our newborn was in such wonderful, caring hands. When I "got him back" in the morning, he looked like he had come back from the spa; so peaceful. I could tell Heather had taken such good care of our baby, and that he felt very safe. So did I.
In the following weeks, my days would be so much better knowing that Heather was coming that night. That there is relief. Rest. Support. Safety. On top of it all, our conversations with Heather were always fun; she is smart, funny, so so knowledgeable about all things baby, has SO MUCH experience and patience. She has tons and tons of tips and amazing advice, but never imposed unless asked or feels it's crucial. Really- no judgement from her. Only support.
She came into our lives like a knight in shining armor, exactly when most needed. I cried when she stayed with us for the last time- not only because I would miss the uninterrupted sleep, but more importantly, her support, wisdom, humor. We could not be more grateful nor recommend her enough to any parents; experienced or brand new. With one or multiple kids. She is just absolutely fantastic.
