      Having a postpartum doula was the BEST thing I did for myself as a first-time mother to a newborn. Brandy’s care for me as well as my daughter helped us through those difficult early weeks, when I was sleep-deprived and often felt lost and alone. Knowing that I had Brandy’s weekly visit to look forward to made life infinitely more manageable. Sometimes she helped me try new breastfeeding holds or baby carriers, sometimes she would wear the baby and do a little housecleaning while I got a glorious nap, and other times she offered a listening ear as I shared the hardships of the first days of motherhood without making me feel judged for not “enjoying every moment” with this baby I had wanted for so long. Brandy is someone any mom and baby will be grateful to have on their team! I’d give her more than 5 stars if I could!

      I feel so lucky that we connected with Brandy before the birth of our twins last August. Our babies were born early and when they came home I was terrified. Brandy helped us get situated, and feel empowered as parents. We learned to so much from Brandy through the services she provided us, and allowed us to actually enjoy some of the hard moments and months of our family’s lives.

      Brandy was amazing with our newborn twins. As a first time mom, Brandy helped guide us during those early months and “show us the ropes”. She provided essential care for our girls and for us as a family. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend her to anyone!
