We hired Hilary as our Postpartum Doula and she provided us critical support, care, and counsel from day one of leaving the hospital with our newborn son. I don't know how we could have gotten through this phase without her regular day and night time visits. The breaks she provided us a few times a week were invaluable: leaving our son with someone we fully trusted to catch up on sleep or even run errands. She was also a constant ear for us with all of our new-parent questions: from our baby's health, to breastfeeding, to products. If she doesn't know the right answer, she will get you in touch with someone who does. She is fully dedicated to making sure you have the support you need and are on a good path as a new family. Hilary has a great approach to coming into your home and making everything feel smooth and easy. We are going to miss working with her, and can't recommend her business enough to other families whether it's your first kid or your fourth.

I am writing to highly recommend Luciana Gerrish as a Newborn Care Specialist. Luciana began working with our family when our son was 1 week old in the Summer of 2023. My husband and I were overwhelmed with caring for our new baby in addition to our 4 year old daughter, and Luciana stepped in and put us at ease immediately. We “clicked” right away, as Luciana was warm and confident. I could tell immediately by the way she picked our son up and spoke to him that she loved her job, which made it easier to go to sleep while she was looking after him. Luciana always arrived each night a few minutes before her shift started at 9 pm, so that we could fill her in on our day and she could answer any questions we had. We settled in to sleep knowing our son was in excellent hands. We trusted her fully and were able to sleep well because of this. In the morning, Luciana would either have the baby asleep for us when we woke up, or, if he was awake, she would be playing with him sweetly. Bottles were sanitized and ready for the day, and she shared a detailed recap of the prior night. Our 4 year old daughter loved seeing Luciana in the morning, and was jealous Luciana was only there for the baby because she was so kind to her! Having Luciana work with your family is like having a personal baby expert available to you, who can help you maximize sleep and feeding routines in a loving way. Getting sleep after a busy day with two kids was a gift, and she made it easy! She was with us for four months, and then our son was sleeping from 6:30 pm-6:00 am (we credit her with this great sleep), so we no longer needed her help. It was bittersweet to no longer see her each night, but we are so grateful for her loving care of our son. While Luciana’s impact on our family can’t possibly be summarized on paper, I hope you will infer how wonderful she is from this letter. Hiring Luciana was the best decision!

Allie came into our lives at such a pivotal moment in time and I will forever be grateful that our paths crossed when they did. As a first time mom, I had spent hours of time reading, listening, and meditating in preparation for our twin home birth - I knew that I wanted a support person in addition to my husband, but I didn't know exactly what that looked like in practical form. I'd had another doula planning to accompany our home birth, but in the final weeks of my pregnancy, she was not able to support me after all. That's where Allie gracefully came into the picture. I was connected with Allie through my midwife's glowing recommendation of her. By the end of our first visit, I truly felt as though we had been friends for years. I am so grateful to have met her when I did, as I ended up going into labor the next day! Allie is kind, compassionate, affirming, gentle, empathetic, and has such a beautiful heart for mamas and their birth experiences. I went through active labor for several hours with my husband before we asked Allie to head our way. I will always be amazed at how much lighter my contractions felt as soon as Allie arrived. She quietly and seamlessly entered into my birthing den and as she held space for my surges while my husband could take a rest, I noticeably felt so much more relaxed and at peace. Even though labor was progressing quickly, it all felt significantly smoother with Allie's presence at my side. She kept me hydrated and nourished so that as my body did the handwork, my mind could be at rest. This was happening. This was right. This was meant to be We welcomed our Lana Rose at 6:12pm after a 12 hour labor. Our Esme Jane came just a short 10 minutes later at 6:22pm. Allie was there to hold my hand and my heart through the most empowering experience of my life. She captured the most beautiful moments on camera that I will cherish forever, and cared for me so thoroughly and attentively in my hours after the birth. Allie is, in short, like both a sister and a best friend all wrapped into one amazing soul. Her presence made every difference not only for me, but also for my husband. We will forever be grateful to her for sharing her heart with us in abundance on that special day.

Madison is caring, attentive and so helpful through the birth process. Greatly appreciated her support.

Isabelle was a wonderful night nanny for us with my first child. She provided invaluable advice about slowly training our daughter to sleep fully through the night and getting her down earlier. She was also an incredible resource for advice about feeding and general baby care, especially as we were dealing with challenges of lots of spitting it up. We cherished the nights she was with us - we knew our daughter was safe and well cared for, that we would get a great night of sleep (just what we needed), and for the thoughtful advice she provided.

Nancy was amazing as a doula! I was nervous as this was my first baby and being a person of color. Nancy was there throughout my entire pregnancy.

Dayse is a tremendously caring and loving individual. She will take care of your child as her own. Dayse is smart and astute and very well-versed in child development. I can't say enough good things about Dayse.

Discovering Blissful Sleep was a game-changer for me as a second-time mom. After struggling with months of sleep deprivation during my first postpartum experience, I wish I had met Marsha and her team sooner. They truly gave me the gift of sleep and restored my sanity during those early months. One of the most invaluable aspects of their service was the emotional support they provided. With no family nearby, their team became like an extended family for me. The care providers assigned to us were not only highly professional but also compassionate and understanding. They essentially took care of me as much as they did my baby - they listened to my concerns, offered practical advice, and were a constant sounding board throughout our first few months. I was impressed by their punctuality and reliability. They were always on time for appointments and their communication was clear and responsive. This professionalism instilled confidence in their services and made the entire experience stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Blissful Sleep to anyone expecting a baby. Whether you're a first-time parent or navigating the challenges of newborn parenthood again, their expertise and support are invaluable. They tailor their approach to fit your family's unique needs, ensuring you feel empowered and well-supported during this transformative time. In summary, Blissful Sleep exceeded my expectations in every way. Thanks to their guidance, my baby sleeps through the night! If you're looking for compassionate, professional, and effective sleep support, look no further than Blissful Sleep.

Erin is phenomenal--we would 100% recommend her! She is very knowledgeable, calm and highly supportive. She did an excellent job answering our questions and providing resources. We greatly appreciated her presence, support and advocacy at the hospital. My wife and I were very fortunate to have her as our doula.

- Mohamed M.

Kolby did an amazing job helping me adjust to life with my triplets- TRULY couldn't have done it without her! She helped me mainly with nights so I could get some sleep and helped with some light chores around the house (bottles, baby laundry, meal prep). We won't be having anymore kids but if we did we’d 100% use her again.

I can’t recommend Rafaela enough! She took care of my first baby during the night, and her help was truly invaluable. As a new mom, I was exhausted, and knowing that my little one was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to finally get some rest. Rafaela is incredibly gentle, patient, and knowledgeable—she has this calming presence that instantly put me at ease. She knew exactly what to do, whether it was soothing, feeding, or simply making sure my baby was comfortable and safe. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your newborn at night, Rafaela is amazing!

Erica provided exceptional care and created a safe space for both Me and my Husband during my birth experience. I loved having her as a Birth Doula!

I don't think there are enough words to describe how grateful I felt to having received Ally's help before baby arrived, and first month. Before my son arrived she helped me prepare his nursery. We went over my hospital bag, my birth plan, my goals for postpartum. This was my second pregnancy and delivery was a emergency C-section. She helped educate me on post care for my healing. I had no knowledge on healing for a C-section, it wasn't on remotely on my birth plan. She would check my incision, gave me tips on care, exercises and massages(for when I got clearance). I really struggled my first month with breastfeeding and if I didn't have Ally's advice, knowledge and assistance with latching on I don't think I would've continued breastfeeding. After I nursed my son and he was settled I could nap and she would watch over him, do light cleaning, wake me for next feeding, and even gave a light snack. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable and a wonderful listener. Moments that I felt overwhelmed she was able to listen and give me support and remind me I'm doing great. I am a single mom of two. Having her services helped me so much. Thank you Ally for helping me and my babyboy, truly. You gave me the confidence, support and guidance I really needed. You're amazing! I recommend all mamas to work with Ally's! I can't wait to have baby number 3! Thank you Ally again!

Becky is a fantastic birth and postpartum doula. She is passionate about continuing to learn and add to her skills, after becoming a doula from the OT world. She provides nonjudgmental support, and wonderful resources to parents!

I had the most incredible experience working with Brigid as my birth and postpartum doula. From the moment we met, I knew I was in good hands. She exuded warmth, compassion, and expertise, making me feel supported and empowered throughout my journey. She was a calming presence, helped ease the tension with jokes and stories, provided unwavering support and encouragement every step of the way. She was there to advocate for me and helped me pick out items that my baby would need. When we brought our baby home, Brigid helped us around the home and reminded us to breathe. I loved how she reminded us that babies do not come with a manual and to trust our instincts. She helped with some newborn care, breastfeeding support , and emotional support during those challenging early days of parenthood. Her gentle guidance and reassurance helped me navigate the ups and downs of postpartum life with grace and resilience.

If you're in search of someone well-versed in both holistic care and Western scientific knowledge, with a non-judgmental approach, Jessy is an exceptional choice. After interviewing three different midwifery practices, it became evident that Jessy Bready not only brought an incredible depth of experience but also had an extensive network of support to draw upon. I was looking for someone who had a warm, grounded presence, someone who could geek out about science while also delving into herbal remedies and the phases of the moon. Someone who truly saw the journey to motherhood as a magical union of heaven and earth. With Jessy, I experienced the most remarkable pregnancy journey. I cherished our monthly check-ups, which often included my husband, and were filled with questions and answers. She referred us to an excellent maternal fetal medicine doctor for all the tests I chose to undergo, including ultrasounds, which complemented our primarily non-hospital midwifery care. When the time for childbirth arrived, Jessy went above and beyond, assisting my husband in supporting me through my water labor. She provided gentle guidance and touch, and after about 30 hours of intense labor with no progress, we faced a decision. While I had dreamt of a homebirth, Jessy and her team helped me make the tough choice to transfer to the hospital for pain management at 3 am. She made me feel empowered for listening to my body and inner voice, rather than shaming me for not being able to proceed at home. Jessy joined us at the hospital, explaining the forthcoming procedures and seamlessly translating medical terminology for the doctors. Her confidence was evident, and the doctors respected her knowledge. While I believed our prenatal care was exceptional, it was Jessy's postpartum and breastfeeding support that truly amazed me. In the six weeks following our baby's birth, Jessy proved to be an invaluable asset to our family. She helped my milk come in, taught me how to latch, and provided emotional support. She even offered medical assistance when my blood pressure was slightly higher than normal. Not having to leave my home and venture into a doctor's office with my newborn for the first six weeks (except for our initial doctor's visit) was absolutely incredible! Having Jessy as a part of our birthing team was not only incredible for me but also for my husband and our baby girl. We are eternally grateful for the way she prepared us for parenthood, and we believe that everyone should have access to the level of care she provided. Although we didn't have a homebirth, my birthing experience was everything I had ever hoped for. Thank you, Jessy!!! <3

I cannot say enough about Heather’s compassion and knowledge when it comes to pregnancy and postpartum care for both baby and mama. Throughout my pregnancy, Heather would check in on me to see how I was doing, and she checked in on me right away following my daughter’s birth. She provided a listening ear when I needed to share the scary bits of my birth story, and used her personal experiences to share advice and guidance. She is so dedicated to maternal health and is an amazing advocate and support person!
