Testimonial for Lydia-Carlie Tilus
5 Stars
Lydia-Carlie was our postpartum doula for several weeks following the birth of our daughter. She was a steady and supportive arm right exactly when we needed it most, and I cannot express strongly enough how much she helped us in those first couple of months. Right from the beginning you could see visibly see my wife's shoulders relax on mornings when we'd realize "Oh, this is a Lydia-Carlie day," and everything would suddenly take on a less frantic tone just knowing we had backup on the way.
Lydia-Carlie has a depth and breadth of knowledge that was exactly the resource that we as new parents needed. I was initially wary of the entire idea of having a doula in the house for hours a day, right when I was trying to get used to the idea of our new, very needy roommate. My image was of someone who might be focused too much on a spiritual or esoteric side of parenthood and babies than what I thought we needed at the time. I need not have worried. While it's clear that L-C has the sensitivity and knowledge to engage on a wide variety of levels, she certainly recognized what I was looking for immediately and all of her help was solid, grounded in facts, science, practicality and empathy. But beyond that, her interactions with my wife, my baby and all of us as a family were warm, personal, positive and uplifiting. In addition to being knowledgeable and well-informed on exactly the issues we cared about, Lydia-Carlie has the insight to know exactly when we needed more help, more information, more advice on aspects of infant care that we were overlooking or overthinking.
Almost as a bonus, she's just an insanely good cook and my wife says she gives the best massages of all time. And she was great with our puppy.
