What families are saying

I instantly connected with Yvonne and felt totally comfortable with her like she was an old friend. She helped me through my healing process and guided me on how to care for my newborn. She brewed herbs for my sitz bath, made me food when I was too overwhelmed to cook, gave me time back to shower or nap, provided lactation support, taught me how to wear and bathe my baby. She also talked me through techniques for feeding, naps/sleeping, and alleviating baby’s gas. She was constantly sharing information and tips on how to care for my babe. She also provided product recommendations and helpful baby apps. She truly was a godsend and I highly recommend working with her! -Cara H.
Yvonne is wonderful! She served as our postpartum doula, and she was incredibly helpful at helping us to get our feet under us in the weeks post-birth. She gave us hands-on instructions in everything from filing nails to bathing to babywearing, and she was so kind and accommodating. She alleviated so many early stresses for us and helped make the transition to parental life so much easier! Strongly recommend! -Abby B.
Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
