Cheryl is a fantastic Post Partum Doula. She helped my husband and I calm down and understand how to build a newborn schedule with the goal of gaining my sanity post C-Section. She helped me through my breastfeeding questions and anxiety,  helped my husband through his questions of best way to support myself and the baby while I also try and heal. She is very sweet and calming and very clear and direct, while supportive during an emotional time. Cheryl would be a great addition to helping new families figure out how to manage through the first weeks Post Partum to help set a family up for success. We highly recommend her. 8/14/2020

Thank God for Cheryl! I was on the fence about a doula in general, considering the support that was provided at the birth center I was to deliver at (plus say, a pandemic?)  However, we met Cheryl and I knew it was a good fit, she was open-minded, intuitive, and took her experience seriously. Before the birth, she attentively coached and helped me process my concerns, answered any and all questions I had about symptoms and offered great suggestions on products. During the birth process her support proved invaluable when things took a more complicated turn than I had ever imagined; she was right there to guide, comfort, coach my husband and be an advocate for us. Her unfailing support as I labored the night before the birth made me feel like I wasn't alone in such a big transition, which translated to the hospital room itself as things became more serious. Post-partum she held the space for me and my new family's well-being, checking in, calling, offering good advice and tips for a new mom who is finding her footing as she navigates these brand new waters of breastfeeding, sleeping, routines, mental health, you name it. I know I can count on Cheryl and her steady, knowing presence now and in the future. Thank you, thank you!!

Cheryl was a FANTASTIC night doula for our twins, we are so grateful to her for all of her help. My wife and I hired Cheryl for about 16 nights throughout the first two months of our babies' lives. Cheryl worked with us to figure out a schedule that made sense for my wife breastfeeding versus Cheryl giving the twins bottles in the night, and it worked really well to maximize our sleep as well as help the babies begin to get on a sleep schedule. Cheryl also taught us many different things to try to help the babies sleep longer and was affirming and encouraging to us as we navigated the new-ness of being twin parents. 

My wife and I also appreciated that it was always easy to reach Cheryl via text with questions--she always made us cared for and supported. I highly recommend Cheryl to any new parent that needs support whether in the evening or the daytime. We would hire Cheryl again in a second.

My family retained Cheryl for post-partum doula services for the birth of our second child. After a rough birth experience with my first child and very little family support, a friend recommended I find a post-partum doula.  I had never heard of a post-partum doula before, but it sounded amazing!  Let me tell you.....I am so incredibly thankful for Cheryl!  The very first day she came to the house I was in the midst of struggling to feed the baby.  My husband opened the door and Cheryl immediately jumped into action!  From providing overnight relief so my husband and I could get a full night's sleep, to helping me figure out nursing and pumping, to helping us navigate this transition with our 2 year old, to teaching us how to care for a newborn again she has been a godsend!  Cheryl has been a reassuring presence, a non-judgemental voice of reason, and now I hope I can say a friend.  Cheryl not only helped me heal from this birth, but she also helped me heal emotionally from my first.  I wish I had know about post-partum doulas, and more so I wish I had known Cheryl for my first pregnancy.  I can't recommend her enough.  She is downright amazing.
