Testimonial for Milla Blindauer
I never write reviews, but I have to for Milla! My daughter had the absolute best start in life thanks to our incredible birth team.
The doula we loved working with for my son's birth (my first) moved out of state, but she recommended Milla. I looked her up and after reading her reviews, immediately felt like she was the doula for us, but her availability cut off a couple of days before my due date. I emailed her anyway, because going back to the drawing board to find the right fit felt like a daunting task. She quickly responded with the most accommodating offer: she knew and trusted a new doula-in-training who was happy to provide backup! This was the best of all worlds for us because we knew we would have Milla AND Sara if Milla was still in town, but if I went 10 days past my due date, Sara was ready to step in. We were thrilled Milla had this solution because my husband was the only one I trusted to be with my son during the birth, so having two doulas potentially available to be with me was welcome and appreciated.
With each consecutive surprise in my pregnancy and birth (as there are always surprises!) Milla AND Sara were there with helpful ideas and support. They both felt like friends from the moment I met them, but by the time I was ready to call them for my daughter's birth, I trusted them 1000%. During my daughter's birth, Milla had an idea/helpful reminder whenever I needed it. She gave me the kind of encouragement I needed, and Sara was a comforting presence. When my daughter was born, Milla knew to go get my husband so he could meet her right away! Seamlessly, she took over watching my son downstairs and we got to bond together with our new baby. Sara helped with all the little details (my snack, nursing pillow, etc.) and we felt so well cared for!
I like to do things by myself, but I'm so glad we had Milla AND Sara! Our postpartum visits were so special. The realness! I will always look back fondly.
