What Clients Say...

Judit F

"Cindy was an incredible help in adapting to life with our third child. She dedicated time to the older siblings, allowing me to concentrate on my newborn and catch up on much-needed rest. She cooked meals for the family, handled errands, and even took care of the baby at times so I could sneak in some naps! Her soothing back rubs and attentive listening made a world of difference. She truly excelled at nurturing and supporting us." -Judit F.

Reni:  "Cindy was a very helpful and kindhearted doula and had awesome knowledge about breastfeeding and soothing our baby. She was with us from our first day of arriving home from the hospital with our newborn and was a huge help!"

Megan K

"We worked with Cindy as a postpartum doula at night with our newborn.  As first time parents, Cindy was incredible and extremely helpful.  She came over the night we were released from the hospital and helped us immediately from day one.  My husband and I relied very heavily on Cindy and her expertise.  She went above and beyond her job description and always was helping in any way we needed.  I would recommend her to anyone looking for childhood care."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will I need the assistance of a postpartum doula?

Many families love to work with a doula for the exciting first six weeks after birth, but I'm all about flexibility! Some parents might want shorter or longer support tailored to their unique journey.  I'm here to meet your needs!

Definitely!  I'm excited to provide overnight doula services that allow parents to get the essential rest they need! I'm equipped and ready to handle nighttime feedings, diaper changes, and soothing your baby, giving you the chance to unwind and rejuvenate!
