Testimonial for Eden Schmidt
Eden was the greatest investment and gift we didn't know we needed!
As she described in her interview with us, she does a little bit of everything. When Eden is at our house she would start her time with us checking in and holding space for our feelings, our days and the challenges we were navigating. There were times I felt like Eden became a sister, others where she was an aunt, and others a therapist or loving friend. She cultivated a tender, compassionate container that I didn't know I needed. She also thoughtfully asked questions that deepened my partner and my connection and journey in parenthood together.
On the days Eden was here our house felt brighter. She has a loving, calm energy that seamlessly fit into our family. She was there, but never overbearing or taking the stage of what was going on. She was always there to fill my water, nourish me with food, meal prep delicious postpartum treats, baby wear my newborn so I could nap. She would lovingly change our bedsheets as often as we needed, keep the laundry on rotation, fold our clothes, and spend time with our toddler and our dogs.
Eden truly does it all!
Who she is, the way she cares, her thoughtfulness, her incredible wealth of knowledge, her warmth and her nonjudgmental and encouraging presence was truly such a god send.
If you are considering getting a doula I highly recommend Eden! She is a gem.
My warning is: you'll never want your time with her to end! We ended up using her for 3 months and wish we could have Eden is our lives everyday, but alas...life moves forward.
Do yourself a favor and reach out to her for a consult! Whether you work with her or she connects you with another trusted provider, you won't regret it!
