Viv worked with us as our birth and postpartum doula for our first baby. I truly don't know what I would have done without her guidance and support in those last few months of pregnancy through the fourth trimester. She was always available and willing to answer my questions, whether it was breastfeeding, sleep, or general newborn no matter how small. I highly recommend Viv and would absolutely work with her again.
