Chipo was our night doula when we had our little one. She helped me navigate everything from holding the baby, to latching. Baby L is my first. She is deeply knowledgeable and her decade of experience showed. My husband and I were uneasy about bringing someone in the home at first, but having Chipo and the way she cared for us, really changed our minds. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
