I have used Northeast for postpartum care for both of my children. The first time, it was just for…read morea few nights of respite when our 6 month old wasn't sleeping. The second time, after we were more aware about how draining infancy can be for parents and more aware of postpartum depression and anxiety and its correlation with sleep deprivation, we arranged for postpartum care upon discharge from the hospital. We absolutely loved our doula, Jess. In our opinion, doula care by far exceeds baby nurse care as the doula philosophy takes the entire family system into consideration. Be it dealing with your toddler, food prep, lactation support or light housekeeping, Jess had us covered!! We found Northeast to be professional, attentive and would highly recommend this agency to others.

Elizabeth was just who we were looking for in a Doula and she proved to be more valuable than we…read morecould have known. This was our first child and I was hoping to have as natural a birth as possible in a hospital. Foremost we wanted someone to help lead us through the process - to be helpful to me and also to my husband. She answered all our questions and went over all the procedures to answer the questions we didn't even know we had. As I passed my due date, she worked with me to find ways to naturally induce labor in several different modalities. Throughout my labor, my husband used her as a resource to help comfort me and she was exceptionally attentive to all my needs. She always worked within the boundaries of what we were comfortable with and was never judgmental about our birth plan. In the end, I had to be induced and our plan changed drastically. She didn't skip a beat and helped us stay as close as possible to the intention of our plan. Once the baby was born, she stayed to help me start breastfeeding and to get us situated in the new room. I am ever so grateful to her for everything that she did and would recommend her to anyone looking for a Doula. I also took part in Elizabeth's Yoga for Birthing class and found it very helpful. It was a great substitute for a LaMaze class because we went over all the different parts of labor and the choices that we were going to have to make. She also gave us poses and breathing to do in each of the different stages of labor and I made a lot of use of these throughout my labor. I highly recommend the class as well.

I would not have been able to do it without her! Rosy helped me every step of the way- she came right when I called her, she timed my contractions, contacted my midwives when it was time for them to come, never hesitated, was always present, calm, composed and quick to respond when I needed help. Rosy helped me drink, eat, provided aromatherapy, administered herbs, controlled my TENS machine, massaged me, help me move about...She basically was the greatest support I could have ever asked for and she did everything without me having to ask. She intuitively knew what I needed and when. I truly believe our home birth went so successfully because Rosy were there. Rosy is a clear communicator and has a wonderful and calm demeanor. When I was scared Rosy was there to comfort me. She cheered me on and told me I was doing an amazing job when I was feeling discouraged, and when my daughter was finally born, after a FULL day of labor I was so touched by Rosy's dedication & resolve and so grateful that I had her support. I highly recommend Rosy as a doula, a friend and a great advocate during labor and birth. Thank you, Rosy, for all that you did for us, from the bottom of our hearts! We look forward to working with you in the future for postpartum doula services and writing you another stellar review for that!

It took my a while to find the right doula as I wanted to find someone who connected with me and made me feel comfortable. The minute I met Rosy I knew she was the one! She's absolutely great! The type of person you want to have around when you're having painful an strong contractions as she has a very calm, soothing voice, sweet personality while at the same time being a firm advocate at the hospital for the birth experience you want to have. My husband and I are incredibly grateful and would recommend every expecting mother to partner up with Rosy. She was always on time, replied to all my emails, all my calls, provided excellent resources, checked on me frequently and was 100% with me throughout labor. It would have been a lot harder to make it without her. After many hours of labor I was able to give birth vaginally to my beautiful baby girl, Paloma. She's also an excellent prenatal yoga teacher so she can recommend exercises to prepare your body for birth and stay healthy throughout your pregnancy, or take her classes, which I did :) She had great connections in the community and referred me to a great chiropractor and acupuncturist who both helped me a lot at the end of my pregnancy. Thank you Rosy!

She nursed me back to health after my c section while caring so lovingly for my little boy.

She helped me learn how to nurse as well, including recommending a bottle that solved my breastfeeding problem. She also helped with my nieces and did an amazing job getting them on a sleep schedule and sleeping through the night by 4 months. Having Linda felt like having a aunt, a friend, a nurse, and a therapist here at a time when I needed them all most. I honestly can't recommend her enough.

From identifying oral ties, breastfeeding, bottle challenges, pumping, general discomfort - Susan has been our go to for many concerns. After birth, I received a lot of conflicting information and guidance from various lactation consultants at the hospital - the first time I met with Susan she immediately streamlined all the mixed messages I had received and drastically simplified what I was doing so I could stress less and enjoy my baby more. Thanks to Susan I was able to breastfeed my first for two years! And beyond breastfeeding, thanks to her we were able to address issues that may have impacted my son later in life. For my second baby, I decided to book a prenatal appointment with Susan. I went into the hospital feeling confident, prepared and smarter about how I wanted my feeding journey to look. I'm so glad I did this because it couldn't have been more different than my first. Make the appointment - It is with full confidence that I recommend Susan!

I had come to her a broken and struggling mother who's baby was destroying me mentally and physically. She reassured me that my daughter was indeed tongue tied, and that it needed revision before I would be able to be successful, even when everyone else told be she was fine. She introduced me to pace bottle feeding, and pumping to increase and persevere my supply in the meantime. Once my daughters tongue tie was fixed and my body healed Susan was then able to teach me to latch her and we continued to breastfeed over a year. Her love and support was invaluable to me. Her support groups connected me with friends whom three years later are still part of my circle. Anyone who is struggling with breastfeeding or just looking for more support look no further than Susan. I am now pregnant with my second child and I will be making appointments as soon as he is here! Thank you again Susan for all you have done for me and my family.
