Kind Words from Families I Supported

"We are so grateful to have had Elena as our postpartum doula during the first five weeks after our daughter was born. As first-time parents, we had so many questions, and Elena helped us feel calm, confident, and supported every step of the way. She patiently taught us how to use our baby carriers, file our daughter’s tiny (and fast-growing!) nails, give her baths, and so much more.

Beyond her guidance, Elena brought so much care and thoughtfulness to each visit—she made nourishing postpartum soups and delicious lactation treats while our baby napped, and she was always ready to jump in with feedings or baby care when we needed rest. She was consistently prompt, friendly, and incredibly respectful of our home and preferences.

Elena made a lasting impact on our early parenting journey, and we can’t recommend her enough to other families."

"I had a wonderful experience with Elena. She was incredibly helpful, providing great tips and resources that were invaluable as a first-time mom. Her calming presence and knowledge made me feel more confident in caring for my newborn. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and professional support!"

—Dragana

"We are so incredibly grateful to have found Elena to support us after the birth of our twin daughters. From the moment we met her, she had a calming and confident presence that immediately put us at ease.

Handing over the care of your newborn babies, especially for overnight support, requires a huge amount of trust, and Elena earned ours completely and almost instantly. We were able to get much-needed rest knowing our girls were in such capable and loving hands.

Elena is the consummate professional. She was always punctual, and her communication was consistently clear, proactive, and reassuring. It was evident from day one that she is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in newborn care, but also deeply empathetic and intuitive. She handled our babies with such tenderness and expertise.

What impressed us most was how she went above and beyond to prepare specifically for the challenge of supporting twins. She came equipped with strategies and a clear understanding of their unique needs, which made the entire process seamless.

We wholeheartedly recommend Elena to any family, especially those expecting multiples. She was an invaluable part of our postpartum journey, and we can't thank her enough for her incredible support."

—Beth and Rafi

"Working with Elena was honestly one of the best decisions we made as new parents—she was incredible. Elena provided nighttime support for our family at least three nights a week for ten weeks, and we genuinely loved every minute with her. Elena brought this unique mix of good energy, deep knowledge, and genuine empathy that immediately made us feel comfortable and supported.

Being a mother herself, Elena shared advice in a way that really resonated. It wasn’t just about what she said but how she said it, always with kindness, patience, and understanding. Her positivity and calm demeanor made every evening better, creating a soothing and uplifting environment for our whole family.

Elena had this amazing ability to connect with our baby daughter—she was a pro at soothing her, burping her effortlessly, and gently helping her learn to sleep on her own. Knowing Elena was with our daughter allowed us to get some much-needed rest and feel completely at ease. She also supported us through the tricky feeding stages with constant encouragement and thoughtful guidance, significantly helping our overall well-being.

Working with Elena felt more like having a trusted friend by our side than just hiring a doula. It was genuinely such a pleasure to get to know her. We can’t recommend Elena highly enough—she is exceptional, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her support."

—Rachel and Will

"My partner and I are first time parents and we were looking for a postpartum doula that was gentle, calm and would fit seemlessly into our home and life. Elena was exactly that. She always took the time to listen to how our days/nights were going and provide suggestions to help us out. When breasfeeding moments were difficult, she was there to hold me, calmly support me and remind me that I was doing a good job. It may be a small gesture but it meant a lot to have that reminder. That early newborn stage is rough! But Elena was able to help ease us both into our new roles as parents. We joked that Elena had the "doula touch." Our baby just calmed instantly with her. I can't say enough how helpful it was to just rest (day and night) when she was at our home helping us with our baby. We looked forward to our days/nights booked with Elena's help. Those first few weeks are difficult and I know without Elena, things would've been 1000x worse. Having Elena's support truly helped us start this parenthood journey on a stronger foundation. If you're looking for someone to slip in your family easily and support you and your family, I'd highly recommend Elena as your postpartum doula."

"I had the best experience with Elena as an overnight doula in the first two months of my sons life. Hiring her was the best thing I did for my own physical and mental health. She came two nights a week for the first two months. While she was with us her primary job was to care for our son - she brought him to me to breastfeed, and then would collect him to take care of diapering, soothing, and helping him stay asleep. While I was breastfeeding she did our laundry and cleaned our kitchen. Getting this help in the early days of postpartum helped me immensely, I wish everyone could have an Elena in the tender first days of motherhood. She has a soft and nurturing presence, and I never felt like I had to host her in our space."

—Jenny

"We were very fortunate to connect with Elena when our granddaughter was born. My daughter-in-law experienced complications before/during/after the delivery and needed to stay in the hospital for further care. Elena heard about our situation and kindly reached out and offered her help. She brought her expertise and helpful suggestions about caring for a newborn and we were so grateful! Elena jumped right in with Night Nanny duty which gave us a welcomed relief and a good night's rest. Our newborn and her 3yo brother picked up on Elena's calm and gentle demeanor and thrived under her care. We are so grateful that she reached out to us in our hour of need and would encourage anyone in need of doula help to connect with her. I can't speak highly enough of her, she is wonderful!!"

—Molly

"The main question I asked myself when looking for a doula was: Who can I trust with my baby? Elena is the answer. You know she will treat your baby like her own. She is easy to trust and rely on. She is a great listener and makes sure our preferences are heard and respected. She communicates well and is clear about expectations. She is gentle and kind and lets us sleep easy, knowing she is caring for our newborn.

The next question was: How can this person help me save the most precious resource in the newborn phase: time? Elena was reliable, always on time, and flexible with scheduling and rescheduling. She came in at night, ready to take over so we could sleep. She helped with whatever needed doing—laundry, tidying, bottle preparation, bottle washing—and even made delicious meals and brought in some lactation tea. She spent time with our toddler so we could rest. She would come to the door with a smile, ready to listen to whatever troubles came up. Generally, she was the type of person you want to see at the end of a long day and did everything she could to make our lives easier and give us some time back.

She also attended my planned caesarean birth, took photos of the birth, kept detailed notes about the timeline and birth story, and told me stories as they began surgery to keep my mind off what was happening behind the curtain. Even though it was planned and much shorter than an unplanned C-section, she took care of all the administrative tasks and helped me focus solely on the new baby.

Elena is amazing, give yourself the gift of her help."

"Elena is absolutely wonderful. She truly cares about her clients and has been and continues to be a massive help for our family. We were so lucky to find her and have her support throughout the 4th trimester. We will definitely be working with her again in the near future." 

—Ariel and Ryan

"Having Elena as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made. She cared for our whole family — from helping us adjust as parents to guiding our twins in their gentle and joyful introduction to their new sibling. She brought comfort, encouragement, and thoughtful support every step of the way. Her presence made the transition so much smoother, and we are endlessly thankful for her."
