Faith had truly become an extension of our family for the first 3 months of our daughter's life! We started working with Faith when our daughter was less than a week old, and from the beginning she brought such a calm, confident, and warm presence into our home during the chaotic time of early parenthood with a newborn. She is very trustworthy, prompt, and reliable. For my husband, she represented safety and stability as he knew our daughter was safe and we could have a good night's sleep. For me, she was also a trusted mentor into motherhood - both from her professional training and her experience of being a mother to 3 children. She helped me navigate breastfeeding/pumping and how much my baby was eating, she taught us how to calm an overtired crying newborn, hunger vs overtiredness cues, transitioning from a swaddle to a sleep sack, fussiness from vaccines, and more. After 3 months of working with Faith 5 nights per week, we felt like we were finally ready to 'graduate' from Faith and tackle parenthood ourselves as our daughter was easily sleeping 9+ hour stretches at night in her bassinet! I cannot overstate how grateful we are to Faith for her help and guidance with our daughter during those first 3 months - we would have been lost (and extremely sleep deprived) without her. I know she enabled me to be a better mother to my daughter during the days and to have time heal from birth. Faith will be one of our first calls if we have more children! We would love the opportunity to work with her again.

Having Faith as our night doula has been an absolute delight. As a first-time mom, I was immediately put at ease by her calm demeanor and extensive knowledge of newborns and babies. Faith is incredibly intelligent; she consistently teaches me something new during our interactions, and I feel incredibly grateful for her expertise. Our baby is remarkably calm and follows a consistent schedule thanks to Faith’s guidance. From a logistical standpoint, Faith is always punctual, adheres to our pediatrician’s recommendations, and is flexible in accommodating our preferred schedule. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Faith as our night doula and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a caring and knowledgeable doula.

Faith was an exceptional doula who supported us for a week after my delivery. As a first-time mom, I wanted someone to help me during the postpartum period. Faith was incredibly knowledgeable and respected my decisions, providing support that was both informative and empowering. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Faith as a Doula. She helped during my postpartum period. I found her very personable and easy to communicate with.  Faith is experienced with attending to all the baby needs, supporting baby's mommy emotionally and with breastfeeding. She also provides guidance in the areas of taking care of baby, postpartum recovery when needed was very helpful. Faith is organized and helped keep the baby areas and nursery tidy and clean. I will definitely hire her again
