I have PCOS and had a low supply and tongue tie with my first and wanted to get baby checked out right away so we could do what we needed to help milk production. Rosemary was amazing and came right away and helped me navigate all the things related to breastfeeding and feeding my baby. I felt heard and very well cared for in those beginning days when you are so vulnerable. We had a follow up today and she reassured me that I'm doing everything and heading in the right direction. She was really there to listen to what I had to say and my concerns and gave the advice that I needed to feel confident and keep moving forward. So thankful for Rosemary and Bridgetown baby for the much needed support.

We were lucky enough to work with Katrina who from the very first meeting, was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. She created a comfortable, judgment-free space where I felt heard and understood. What I appreciated most was her collaborative approach. She really took the time to listen to our concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and work together to find solutions that felt right for our family. Her guidance was practical, encouraging, and tailored to our specific situation. I'm truly grateful for her expertise and compassion, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for knowledgeable and caring lactation support.

GAME CHANGER!! Marie-Eve originally helped me by setting age appropriate expectations but then…read morereally saved me by creating a gentle sleep coaching plan that I was comfortable with. If we needed any support, she was a email, text or call away. She made us feel like she was with us the entire time & gave us the needed encouragement to trust the program. Before the program, our Little One was waking every 1.5 - 2 hours at night. Within 2 days he was sleeping in 5+ hour chunks and within a week he went 10.5 hours straight. I cannot recommend Marie-Eve enough. She truly brought happiness back into our house!

Every penny we spent was worth it, and I am recommending her to all of my friends who have kids.

I've known of Natalie since my eldest was born (6 years ago). I used a sleep training book (before…read moreshe had written her book) and needed supplemental help so in came Natalie. I think I magically found her on Facebook - thank you creepy algorithms. She helped me get my first to sleep honestly 12-16 hours a night every night by 12 weeks. Because of Natalie I was able to do that with my son by 8 weeks old. I thought I was so amazing. The best mom. A world leader really. But then the kids got into big kid beds and I was F*€#ED! I struggled for 8 months with my daughter first. Eventually she started sleeping through the night alone again. When my four year old was doing this it took me 3 months before I decided we had to do something. I reached out to Natalie on the off chance she could sleep train a toddler. She said yes. She gave me a bunch of things to do and buy and implement and honestly I wanted to do just a couple things - not all. Every night for the first 3 nights I texted her saying I only did a few things and she would tell me everything was critical. (It wasn't even that much she had me do... I was just being a lazy brat). On night three I did everything she told me to and WTH he went down without a fight and slept until 6:45. Mind. Blown. He usually made going to bed a 45 minute struggle, woke up 3-5 times an night and woke up screaming at 5. At this point I would pay her my next born (not gonna happen - but if it DID, she would sleep train them so maybe I should! LOL). Natalie is a godsend and parents - THERE IS NO REASON TO BE SUFFERING!!! She can help! Worth every single penny!!

Plz forward "How to protect your family" section as many ppl as possible. Although my child went to…read moreNICU was not her fault, this was preventable by the hospital. With the impact of Labor Land, a nurse during my pushing stage stopped me from trying spinning baby techniques and pointed out that this should have been done much earlier. As soon as Prudence looked down when i looked at her with my Peripheral Vision, I realized that i missed my window of opportunities. Now i am investigating my labor thoroughly w/ my flashbulb memory & research background: I could not forget the moment Prudence "gently" looking into my eyes w/ eye-wide stare & holding her breath refusing my request for pain management when I was under extreme pain. she rejected my request multiple times. One is pain management, second and third spinning baby request. Prudence told me I had a sunnyside up baby and said something that I thought I could do the same, so I was left laying on my back. I missed the window of opportunity during early active labor when my water was still not broke. She claimed that she was taking lots of notes during my delivery, along w/ text msg & prenatal appmts, her job had been fulfilled. I hired her b/c Hospital recommended her but I didn't go with my gut feelings when i sensed something was off prior birth.. My husband and I were so considerate that I asked my husband to give up his couch for her to sleep on so she could help me soon. My husband had to ask for the couch back. She later slept on the chair doing nothing as I was waiting for her to help me with spinning baby technique. Even the lights were flickering RT side of her head (bassinet with monitor). My grandparents just passed away, I think they were trying to help me. She did help me at the end when all the nurses and doctor came into help me push. I complained about Prudence after OP. Despite my refusal, a new nurse forced me to take Tums. During the C-section, I could actually feel the medication in my stomach right before the nausea became overwhelming, the doctor gave me something, and I lost consciousness. My boundaries were ignored by medical staff while my doula coughed, stood by. Hiring her caused more problem than it should for my particular case. I complained to nurses after OP. After a night of "taking notes" & naps? she sighed when I asked for 2nd visualization & I was shaking really bad. she was already standing on my Rt side! (around a nurse visit. This experience has been reported to the hospital formally. She claimed she was happy to provide the notes months before. Recently i gave her 12 hr notice, she never reply my email. The experience left a lasting negative impact on my family. I was so nice to her & gave her extra $200, why she did this to me? It has forced me to question the inherent trustworthiness of 'seniority'. Is this the kind of treatment I got for the next generation? How to Protect Your Family: *Contract: Read your contract! if it is vague and protecting the doula, keep looking. Remember you & your partner can always attend birth classes or online tools, it might be better than hiring an observer or a potential barrier in your private room. Stop yourself when you are in a rush hiring a doula. Also, It is doula's job to mange their career burnout, NOT YOU during labor. Demand Professional Standards: Ensure they are certified and insured. Ask if they accept HSA/Credit Cards--this often indicates a higher level of professional oversight. No SSN to doula. * The "Whiteboard" Strategy: List the doula's duties for each birth stage on the room's whiteboard. Ask nurses to note the doula's activity in the medical record and effectiveness of each stage. * Real-Time Records: Require time-stamped notes to be sent to you before the doula leaves the room. If they use a phone or Google Doc, ask for a screenshot of the "Last Edited" time to ensure the record is contemporaneous. * Escalate Immediately: If the doula/nurses is not performing, do not wait. Ask the nurse supervisor for help or to record the conduct in your medical file.

Scarlett is a trusted advocate who from the beginning provided the perfect balance of warmth and professionalism. I sought out an unmedicated birth and Scarlett's support during the process was unmatched. She knew exactly where to be, guided me through my labor and advocated for me when I was in the thick of it. I truly believe her expertise in massage and spinning babies techniques helped put me into active labor and get me through to the transition phase in only 5 hours. Postpartum, Scarlett was such an asset whether it was debriefing my experience, providing references, or offering guidance on breastfeeding. I couldn't recommend Scarlett more!

I have worked with Trillium family services since I was extremely young, out of the 4 therapists…read moreI've had here, only one was decent and she left Trillium. My last therapist here, Ashlie Mole, was entirely unprofessional and untrained, especially regarding eating disorders and trauma responses. She made a direct violation of the HIPPA contract that was agreed to, without a valid reason, leading to a severe decline in my mental health and quality of life. At the time I was 15+ and had enough freedom with my medical care to have a HIPPA contract actually be valid. As far as I know she is still practicing and has faced no legal or workplace consequences. Highly do not recommend.
