A huge chuck of cash up front as retainer is a little iffy you have to think about it Because there is no garentee in anything at all if she be a good fit .... Or her partner is... once you pay half the money upfront weather you like her or not This is it . You won't get your money back So you take your risk .... I think anything more than 2000$ as retainer fee especially not with agency is scammy to me unless you been introduce n recommended by family friends n you know them etc ....

We started working with Veronica as our postpartum doula when our son was born. From the very first…read morenight with her, we knew he would be in wonderful hands. She has the rare gift of balancing a reassuring confidence with a nurturing and calming presence. (She also has a great sense of humor, which can be a welcome breath of fresh air when you're exhausted!) As a first-time dad, I especially appreciated the reassurance and guidance she brought into our home during those early weeks. Our son felt instantly comfortable with her, and she even coined a nickname for him that has stuck to this day! Through her guidance, support, and newborn care education, she truly helped us get off to the best possible start as new parents, and we're hugely grateful for her. After the first month of working with her, we decided to continue with a series of sleep coaching sessions. When she returned after a couple of months away, it felt like no time had passed -- our son definitely remembered her. Just two weeks in, and our 3-month-old is already sleeping 8 hours. It honestly feels like a miracle. Thank you so much, Veronica -- we truly appreciate your care, your guidance, and the confidence you brought into our home during such an important time. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional postpartum support, newborn care education, guidance for new dads, or sleep coaching -- she truly makes a difference.

The best investment!…read more I can't express how grateful I am for Eileen! I booked her to help us with our first child when I was still in my first trimester of pregnancy because I knew I would probably feel a bit overwhelmed (and tired). She came over to the house when I was at the end of my pregnancy and looked at everything we had set up in preparation, suggested a few additional helpful items, and gave us peace of mind going into the birth. After we gave birth (and were exhausted after 3 nights of no sleep at the hospital) she was at our house the night we brought our son home and it was SO nice to have her support after such an intense experience. I originally planned on having her help us for 6 weeks but found her support to be so valuable we extended to 12 weeks. She started her doula training in 2012 so I was confident in her advice after working with so many babies over the last 14 years. She is also a mom herself. She helped us successfully drop night feeds (as developmentally appropriate) and now we have a great little sleeper. I always looked forward to the nights she was coming over because I knew I would get some rest and I could ask her any questions I had (should we try swaddling him with arms out, what should we do about his dry skin, etc). Waking up to clean baby clothes and sterilized bottles and pump parts was lovely too :) I can't imagine starting our parenthood journey without her and would 1000% recommend her to any expecting parents! We will miss Eileen and can't wait to work with her again with our next child.

We could not speak more highly of Charlyne and only wish we had more time with her! As anxious new…read moreparents, both her support and expertise truly saved us during the first few weeks and months of caring for a newborn. She provided a wealth of knowledge and compassionate care throughout our time working together. She asked what our goals were and helped us make a plan to accomplish them (round the clock feeding, breastfeeding upfront, introducing bottles, etc). She helped me heal throughout postpartum period, and she taught us things to look out for - optimal sleep environment, diaper rash signs - and no detail went unnoticed. Not to mention she was incredibly organized, reliable and communicative both before and after the baby was born. Truly the whole package. She is the best in the business (not surprising at all, she books up very far in advance!) and we absolutely would love to work with her again. THANK YOU!!

Natalia is a magician. Around 6 months I had her sleep train my very strong willed baby. She not…read moreonly helped me get to the stage where my baby slept 8-8 and napped during the day but she continued to take my calls for one and half years later and took the time whenever we hit a regression or issue she was one phone call away. She treated my baby with the upmost care but also helped out mama - she gave me great advice and cared about me as a mom. Sleep training helped us help our baby sleep and grow faster and become a happier baby and more well rested baby overall. Thank you Natalia!

If you're reading this, it probably means you could use support (goes without saying we all need…read moresupport with a newborn). After 6 weeks of pretty terrible sleep, we desperately needed help. We were immediately struck by Natalia's GLOWING reviews, and reached out to schedule a call. Instantly, I felt her warmth, and she made me feel cared for in my most delicate state. It was the easiest decision we made to hire Natalia. From night one, I knew our son was in the best hands, and could sleep soundly as a result. Natalia supported us five nights a week, for about three months, and thank god she was available to extend our initial contract. I can honestly say I felt like myself again because I was finally sleeping. Our son had some intense GI distress and gas, but Natalia educated us about the tools and resources available, and we could actually make him more comfortable, which then improved his sleep. We learned SO much from her years of experience, even how to bathe our baby, which up to that point was a mess of tears. We didn't just receive night help, we felt like we got a crash course in parenting. She gave us the gift of sleep, which made us better parents during the day. We had the capacity to be ourselves, and ENJOY this precious newborn time. You will be a better parent if you hire her. I just hope she's available if we're blessed with another bebe :) From my husband: Natalia is ELITE at her profession. Having a newborn (our first) is at once the most joyous and terrifying thing in the world. Yes, Natalia is an amazing caregiver to the baby BUT also to the parents. Her knowledge and education gave us so much confidence and the advice was not just limited to night time, as we learn, everything is related and impacts the baby's happiness, rest, eating etc. Not only did Natalia give us extreme comfort caring for our baby which can be hard when you allow someone you just met to have such an awesome responsibility, she was instrumental in preparing him (and us) for successful sleep training. We cannot say enough great things about her and to be honest, are excited to have another baby and work with her again.

Mrs. Ofelia gave my wife and I, as new parents, three priceless gifts: knowledge, confidence and…read moresupport. From the moment she walked in our door, Mrs. Ofelia's expertise was unmistakable. Our son arrived earlier than expected and was on the smaller side, so our primary concern was setting him up for success in gaining weight and robust health. The day after our discharge from the hospital, Mrs. Ofelia helped my wife navigate breastfeeding strategies and techniques. Mrs. Ofelia also helped us set up a schedule for his eating and sleeping, suggested ideas to make our space more baby friendly and taught us methods for burping, soothing and bathing. Even though she has been working with babies for decades, Mrs. Ofelia underscored that we were the ones who would know our son's needs best. Her consistent advice was for my wife to use her intuition to understand what to do. Because of the foundation of information she provided and her constant encouragement, we were able to feel sure about our choices and more assured that we'd make good decisions after she left. Mrs. Ofelia's emphasis on us taking the time to learn our baby extended to her assistance with household tasks that didn't go away just because we had a newborn. She never stopped working. Her efforts let us focus on taking care of our baby and resting and recovering. We could give our son the energy and attention he needed and that we wanted to provide. We almost began our sessions with Mrs. Ofelia a week after our son's birth. We were so thankful that we decided to start early. My wife and I joked that if we hadn't, we would have spent our initial days with Mrs. Ofelia unlearning our errors made before she'd arrived. Instead, with Mrs. Ofelia by our side, we know we provided the strongest start we could give our newborn. Our pediatrician was impressed by his growth and we are more confident parents. Last, we have to mention that Mrs. Ofelia simply loves babies. She filled every interaction with our baby with tenderness and care. This work is Mrs. Ofelia's vocation. We cannot think of anyone who could better have supported us and our son in the first few weeks of his life. We give her our highest recommendation.

It's hard to put into words how much Miss Ofelia helped me as a first time mom. She was an…read moreincredibly beneficial presence in my home, and I never had to worry about anything when she was here. I had a very difficult postpartum period (as everyone does) and Miss Ofelia was there to help every step of the way.

I can't stress enough how important Miss Ofelia has been for our family. We miss her everyday!

Melanie is not only absolute gem of a person, but also everything I could hope for, and more, as a…read morepostpartum doula. Even through I had experience with my first child, she not only helped me with my registry for twins, but also helped get my space set up, made sure my breastfeeding was on schedule at the hospital, taught me how to heal from surgery, and how to keep breastmilk and formula stocked on the counter, fridge and freezer (when I wasn't tandem feeding). Beyond that, she taught me invaluable skills and tools to start sleeping through the night with the babies asap. She was generous with answers to burning questions when I was unsure about something. She was intuitive, patient, kind, respectful and thoughtful. At each visit she was able to anticipate ever changing needs, and also came prepared with a new pearl of wisdom for my family. She even helped to curate a team of day and night experts to help with the shifts when she needed a break. As such I received lots of expert insights, and Melanie was always fresh and alert during her shifts. I truly can't say enough wonderful things about Melanie. My babies are much healthier, stronger, and more loved, because she graced our home with her beautiful energy and wisdom.

Melanie was our doula for our first baby and we were very glad to have someone knowledgeable and…read moreextremely confident in her abilities and expertise. We chose her because we wanted someone who was calm, used methods based in research-backed science, and had the right balance of logic/practicality to fit with our style and some emotional/breathwork to push us to embrace that part of the experience. We ended up needing to switch OB-GYNs in my 39th week and Melanie was supportive and helped talk us through that decision, which ended up being the best decision we could have made. We had Melanie stay on postpartum for a couple of weeks to help with baby's sleep and care and although we have been lucky to have a good sleeper, that extra set of hands at night was super helpful for us to get some recovery and a great start to parenthood.

We hired Denise to be our birth doula and it was the best decision we made for our pregnancy/birth…read moreexperience. The birth doula service that Denise offers covers everything you need to prepare for birth and the basics on caring for your baby once they arrive. Denise checked in with us regularly throughout the pregnancy, came to our home to do in birth classes, came to our home to put together our birth plan with us, came to our home before birth for baby care basics classes, and came to our home after the birth for two check in visits where she was there to help with whatever you might need help with (for us it was using the breast pump, trimming baby nails, checking baby's latch, and learning baby soothing techniques). And for the birth itself, Denise was an absolute ROCKSTAR. There's no way my husband and I could have achieved the unmedicated hospital birth I wanted without her there. She came to our home to help me through some of my labor there and then followed us to the hospital to get us through the rest of it. My labor was 24 hours in total and Denise was by our side providing support through all of it. And a bonus, Denise is great with dogs. We have two large dogs and one of them does not do well with strangers. Denise was patient with our dog and now both of our dogs loves her. Denise was everything and more in what I wanted with a birth doula and she made me feel confident and supported theoughout the experience. I cannot recommend her enough!

I am so thankful for the invaluable teachings and information I received in the weekend child labor…read moreclass I did with Denise. Wow! So helpful! Such good access to resources! She is so knowledgeable on child birth and completely calmed my nerves and anxiety before the birth of my baby. Life was so busy for me the year I was pregnant with school and work obligations that I had absolutely no time to "prepare" for pregnancy or to read a book. Nevertheless I understood the importance of being equipped with knowledge but never felt I had enough time with my ob doctor in a brief doctors appt on "what to expect when you're expecting". So when I heard about Denise Curtis's labor class on a weekend, I eagerly signed up and so glad I did. The weekend long group class was super helpful, full of a wealth of information, well organized and illustrated, and engaging I continue to use the color printed handouts and resources for information . I highly recommend it to all my pregnant friends and colleagues , especially if you need a concise but comprehensive course on child birth .... Perfect for busy expecting moms who want a crash course on child birth. Highly recommend

We had the absolute best birthing experience possible with support from Giuditta. She provided a…read morevery clear overview of what to expect at labor and delivery prior to the birth of our daughter. She gave us two house visits in advance of the birth that allowed us to practice different partner positions at home for early labor that we successfully used for the real thing! When it came time for the actual birth, she was a fierce advocate for us at Cedars Sinai Hospital. She ensured we had the best and most experienced team, she also coached me (the mom) through the process with a loud and clear voice which I could follow until the baby arrived. For postpartum care, she provided a sense of ease when we arrived home and everything felt unknown and scary. She gave me (mom) tips on breastfeeding in person, she showed us how to bathe our daughter and made us feel comfortable holding her in different positions. Finally, she is incredibly responsive and always provides a sense of calm in her communications. From both a practical and emotional standpoint and as first time parents, we could not have asked for a more positive experience with a Doula. She is worth every penny! -Hannah

We just absolutely loved working with Giuditta. She's so knowledgable, empathetic and kind. From…read moreour first meet and greet over zoom, I knew I wanted to work with her. She has an INCREDIBLE amount of resources to share, videos, her book, her website with recommendations, and her own incredible expertise after nearly 1200 births. She also just has a wonderful personality and vibe. Definitely the person you want on your team. She advocated for me in the best way, gave my husband a break at the right time (just before I went into active labor...she knew!), made sure we had a delayed cord clamping, helped with our birth plan! She also filmed my birth, which is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. She is a lactation consultant, so she had my baby latching within 30 minutes of birth on both sides! I feel very lucky, my baby has been exclusively breastfeeding ever since. She made 4 house visits, two before the birth and two after. The visits were also invaluable! She was able to help my husband and I practice laboring positions and prepare for baby on one visit, the next visit she took a look at our nursery and our set up. The final two visits postpartum, she helped us learn to play with our baby so she will have more productive feedings and sleep, and the final visit she showed us how to do our first bath. She's a genius. I honestly wish that every pregnant person could work with her. If you're on the fence, I'm here to tell you, Giuditta was one of the most important and instrumental people in my pregnancy, birth, labor and postpartum.

We cannot recommend Jenni June enough. She is epic! Like many new parents, we reached a point where…read morewe were exhausted and unsure what to do. Our daughter, would only fall asleep with us and was waking throughout the night. We were nervous about sleep training, but Jenni gave us a clear, science-based plan and the confidence to stick with it. In just a few days, the transformation was phenomenal. Olivia now falls asleep independently, sleeps in her crib for both naps and nighttime, connects her sleep cycles, and wakes up happy and well-rested. More importantly, Jenni didn't just tell us what to do, she explained why we were doing it, which made all the difference. She was always responsive, encouraging, and realistic. We never felt judged, and she prepared us for everything from travel and illness to future schedule changes so we feel confident moving forward on our own. Sleep training isn't always easy, but having an experienced coach guiding you through the process made it so much easier. It has truly been life-changing for our entire family. If you're on the fence, don't wait. We only wish we had called Jenni sooner. Thank you, Jenni, for helping our family get the gift of sleep back. We are incredibly grateful.

Stay far away from her. Like the other negative reviews say, she is a sales woman. I could tell…read morefrom our first conversation. She was super sweet and attentive and once I made the payment, she was horrible to work with. During our consult in which we agreed on a certain time, she made up an excuse of her being on pain meds and tried to reschedule our appointment. Also you should read through the contract CAREFULLY. I tried to cancel even before we did our consult and she stated she didn't do any refunds even before we started any type of service. Also any pediatrician will advise you not to do any type of sleep training before 6 months. I told her I wanted to keep at least 1 night feed. She said if I chose to do that she would workout a plan in which I could do so. But during what was SUPPOSE TO BE our consult, she said she wouldn't work with us unless we cut night feeds, for our FOUR MONTH OLD. There are so many other options and sleep consultants that actually care about you as a parents and your child. Do not choose her. I was FORTUNATELY able to get my money back by filing a claim against her.
