Testimonial for Denise Messick PCD (NAPS)

Denise came highly recommended to us by close friends who raved about her after working with other postpartum doulas, and it was immediately clear why. From the moment she arrived, her care extended far beyond the basics—she anticipated our needs before we even recognized them ourselves. Whether helping establish routines, providing emotional support, or offering her invaluable expertise, Denise ensured every detail was handled so we could focus on bonding with our baby and recovering as a family.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Denise’s support was her holistic approach to care. She focused not only on the baby but also on the well-being of the birthing mother, offering compassionate guidance on physical recovery, emotional healing, and adjusting to life postpartum. Her expertise in newborn care, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery was unmatched. She stayed current with the latest practices and shared this knowledge in a way that empowered us, equipping us with tools and strategies for immediate and long-term success.

Denise’s dedication went far beyond her time in our home. She made herself available for messages outside of work hours, promptly and thoughtfully addressing any concerns or questions we had. In moments of uncertainty or challenge, she was always there with practical, compassionate solutions that provided reassurance and confidence.

What sets Denise apart is her unwavering commitment to helping families thrive. Her professionalism, compassion, and genuine care created a nurturing environment where we felt supported, capable, and truly seen. Thanks to Denise, our home felt like a sanctuary in a potentially overwhelming time. She gave us the foundation to rest, recover, and enjoy this special period as a family. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone—we can confidently say she is extraordinary at her work and has a unique gift for transforming the postpartum experience.
