TLDR: Lexi is amazing especially for first time parent. She can teach you stuff about babies. She cooks, gives incredible massages for postpartum swelling, does belly binding, cleans SO well, and is worth every penny. Couldn't recommend more!
Lexi provided an insurmountable service as our postpartum doula. She is the best doula in LA you could find! Obviously, postpartum is an extremely delicate time for a woman and I couldn't be happier as a first time mom to have had Lexi provide me support.
In regards to childcare, she absolutely lit up for every interaction with our baby. You can tell she loves being around babies. Whenever my baby would cry, she tried different techniques to sooth her, and did a wonderful job at teaching me ways to get her to stop fussing.
Lexi was a great teacher for me as a new mom. She taught me ways to hold my baby while breastfeeding that eased my back, and different movements to help my baby's digestion/gas.
She really invests into her practice of wellness. She came with herbal teas for me to drink, some amazing cookies, herbs for my sitz bath, and a warming paste for the belly binding. IMO everyone postpartum should do belly binding . I saw a dramatic improvement in my bloating from the belly binding in about 2 sessions. I think it's essential to do this to bring your organs back together like before. She made a warming paste that smelled like a delicious gingerbread to open the womb, and I really enjoyed the holistic wellness approach she had. I had terrible swelling postpartum in my legs and feet, and she gave incredibly relaxing massages that helped my swelling go down. On top of all that, she is excellent at cleaning (my partner has very high standards of how clean he likes things), and a good cook as well. She made herself busy every second she was with us, even when we weren't sure what to have her do, and found things to do. She is worth every penny and is a very hard worker. read more
