Alexis was an INCREDIBLE caregiver to our newborn son, my wife, and even to me. She was invaluable during our first 12 weeks as parents. We don’t know how we would’ve made it through those first weeks without her!
My wife and I don’t have family in the area, so we had to look for outside help. When we started interviewing, I didn’t really know what support from a postpartum doula would look like. After one meeting with Alexis, it was clear she is kind, caring, compassionate, patient, and experienced. She mentioned one of her roles is caring for the parents, particularly mom, as she goes through an emotional journey. I thought that’d be helpful. I didn’t realize HOW impactful that specific skillset would prove to be…
Alexis provided support we needed, even when we didn’t know we needed it. Her support ranged from physical help with childcare (of course), to a shoulder to cry on, to nourishing meals for me and my wife (I did not expect that!!) Alexis offered care suggestions based on her experience. That shortened our learning curve significantly. She guided us through tough situations with thoughtful questions. Her approach helped us work through issues as a couple. She empowered us to make decisions and develop OUR OWN routines, philosophies, etc.
Alexis’ approach proved to be a huge help even after her time with us ran out. My wife and I had a level of confidence we wouldn’t have had after 3 months figuring it out on our own.
We are SO GLAD Alexis is in our life. She’s a part of our family now. Our son lights up every time he sees her! If you have the opportunity to work with her, jump on it!
