Kind Words from Families I Supported

"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!"

"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."
