My husband and I hired Cleo a bit late in the game (tail end of third trimester), after debating for a while about whether we even needed a doula. I can honestly say that I’m so glad with the decision. We didn’t know exactly what we were looking for in a doula, but once we had our initial meet and greet with Cleo, we felt so at ease, and appreciated her focus on advocating for our decisions and choices - whatever they may be. Cleo was knowledgeable, never judgmental, and provided assurance and encouragement every step of the way. She also helped my husband better support me during labor, which was so important. Even when things needed to deviate from my birth plan, she made me feel assured and safe, rolling with the punches by our side at the hospital.
We also hired Cleo for postpartum care, and her knowledge and experiences (both as a doula and a mom of 3) were invaluable for us sleep-deprived first time parents. From showing me how to baby wear to just letting me get a nap in, Cleo was fantastic. I'd highly recommend her!
