It was really important for my friend's family's health that the food was strictly gluten-free, and I am so glad that Teyler has that expertise. I heard that the food was delicious, the chicken was "perfectly spiced," and that both parents enjoyed the cookies. :)

Teyler worked with our family after our first child was born, and we were incredibly happy that she…read moredid. Teyler was our postpartum night doula, working with us overnight to coach us through any breastfeeding, burping, soothing, etc issues that come up. She is such a kind, experienced, knowledgeable and gentle person exactly what we needed figuring out how to take care of a newborn for the first time. We learned how to take care of our daughter because of Teyler. We were able to sleep better because of Teyler, and our full trust in her. Teyler gave us a detailed Google Doc with notes from the night so that when your shift starts in the morning, you know where to pick up. Teyler gave us tons of tips and product recommendations that made our life easier. If we have another child we would be thrilled to work with Teyler again. Also, her food is incredible! Thank you Teyler!

I typically love eating out, so I didn't know if a service like this would be for me, but now I can't imagine a week without it. Better than most restaurants in town, and delivered directly to me. Highly, highly recommend!

Diane and her team are amazing! The food is so delicious, I've never had a bad meal. I was…read moresearching for a food delivery service as I tried to do teh whole covid cooking thing and I was just so bad at it lol. I also never knew what to portion out and if the food I was buying was really nutritional. So I looked through yelp and found Cast Iron Kitchen. I've been ordering from there for the past month and have nothing but good things to say. The food is delicious and love that it's a week to week ordering system rather than locking you into a subscription. In these times everyone's schedule is up in the air so it's nice to have that freedom. Also love that she includes breakfast items that make me feel full in the morning so I'm not snacking all the time. I have a huge sweet tooth and love that they include healthy sweet options to order from. I've lost some of those covid pounds I've been looking to shed and feel a lot more energy throughout the day, which is critical in these times. Thank you Diane and team!! Look forward to being a long time customer!

Amy is my hero. She provided a safe and calm demeanor every time we met. She is incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and she communicated to me effectively without confusion. She made herself available to me throughout the process of figuring out how to have my daughter latch and even referred me to a cranial sacral nurse who provided additional help with a painful latch on one side. I would text her frequently and she always responded. Before becoming a LAC, she was a nurse, and that training and intelligence was valuable for me. Even though we met for a short period, I now consider her a friend and couldn't be more grateful to Amy!

Nothing Amy recommended made any difference for my breastfeeding situation. And generally she…read morehasn't recommended anything above common sense or general basic practice (like if you've read articles and talked to a few people - you've heard everything already more or less). She also didn't recommend anything harmful, so that's good. I also found her personality very difficult and arrogant. For example she said we'd have as much time as needed for several feeds, but our meeting started with scolding me about feeding the baby some before it. I've mentioned I've heard drinking something warm during breastfeeding might help, she gave a lecture about how tea is a diuretic (irrelevant?). I've asked how exactly power pumps help to increase the supply aside from potentially emptying the breast more, and didn't get a straight answer. In my opinion she neither has any knowledge that I think is worth paying for, nor she's a nice human being (and you might have enough stress in your life being a mom to a newborn to talk with people who add more).

All of the emails she sent were so informative and made the process smooth and so easy to understand. Although I wasn't able to meet Tomi because I am in the North Bay, my mother was able to drop off and pick up for me and said that Tomi was amazing and so nice! I was so nervous going into my second pregnancy because I had such horrible postpartum with my first, but was made aware that encapsulating my placenta could provide multiple benefits. I am absolutely shocked at how well I felt and continue to feel taking the capsules. No baby blues, my mood has boosted, more energy, and have even noticed an increase in breast milk. My package included my capsules and a complimentary picture of my placenta, my babies cord keepsake, and a blood print of my placenta and I couldn't be happier. Tomi, thank you so much!

Susan was exactly the person we needed when our third child was born. She is a true newborn expert…read moreand helped our little guy get off to an amazing start with feeding and sleeping. She even got our son to learn to sleep in his crib by himself with no tears! She's intuitive about babies and went out of her way to learn exactly what our little guy needed and responded to. She also effortlessly cared for our baby while watching our older sons (no easy feat), bringing special cooking projects, crafts, board games, and stories for them to enjoy. Instead of feeling left out with the arrival of a new sibling, our older boys received so much attention and looked forward to Susan's arrival each day. I credit much of our older sons' close bond with their baby brother to Susan's expert care. I trust her judgment and instincts 100% and always felt like she went above and beyond to care for every member of our family. She gave us the gift of a fantastic newborn period, and we will forever be grateful!

Ashley was truly a game changer for our family. She was our postpartum doula with our third baby,…read moreand I wish we had found her for our first two. People say "food is medicine," but I never fully understood what that meant until this postpartum experience. Ashley nourished me with incredible meals, but she also provided the kind of deep care and support that every new mom deserves. I had more energy, far fewer mood swings, and was able to be more present with all three of my kids. Instead of feeling consumed by exhaustion, hunger, and simply trying to get through each day, I actually had the space to enjoy and appreciate those precious newborn moments. What surprised me most was that Ashley's impact went far beyond baby care. She cared for me. She anticipated needs I didn't even realize I had, made sure I was nourished, and created a sense of calm that benefited our entire family. The ripple effect was incredible. I had more patience, more joy, and more capacity to be the mom I wanted to be. As a third-time mom, I can honestly say I didn't realize how different postpartum could feel with the right support. If you're expecting a baby, I cannot recommend Ashley enough. She made an immeasurable difference for me and my family, and I truly believe every new parent deserves this level of care.

She meets your energy, is the most efficient, so kind, makes amazing food and is so nurturing.

I used Kelly Wong for my postpartum care and I am so grateful I did. I had a scheduled cesarean,…read moreand while some providers might have hesitated to take me on as a patient, Kelly was incredibly supportive and respectful of my decision. She met me exactly where I was in my pregnancy journey--with warmth, empathy, and zero judgment. Before my delivery, Kelly checked in regularly and shared all the recommendations I needed for belly birth recovery. After I gave birth, she guided me through lactation, monitored my incision, and even noticed that my newborn had a tight neck--something she flagged before my pediatrician did. Breastfeeding went so much more smoothly this time around compared to my first baby, and more importantly, I did not experience the severe postpartum depression and anxiety I had previously. That's because Kelly was right there beside me--always just a text away if I needed anything. If you want the most supportive birth and postpartum experience, book Kelly now. She is incredibly insightful, deeply compassionate, and so well-connected--she truly knows the right people to help you transition into matrescence and beyond.

Birth is unpredictable, and a holistic experience…read more You want someone who acknowledges the reverence of birth, and having someone who can integrate the breadth and depth of pregnancy of birth and guide the parents. Kelly is a masterful midwife practitioner, a patient teacher, and a mom who is living every step in the journey to be thoughtful parents to our children. From the awkward COVID-era Zoom pregnancy group curriculum, her energy is palpable even across the divide. She is abundantly warm, genuine, and meets you wherever you are in your pregnancy and parenthood journey. Her approach to pregnancy is holistic, ensuring that the mom and dad are thoughtfully prepared both physically, emotionally, and mentally as they bring a new life into the world. Kelly empowers parents to experience patient-centric pregnancy care and the birthing process. In a field where many practitioners will keep you at arms length, Kelly engages you at the deepest level to bring to light your hopes and fears surrounding birth. In our prenatal group sessions, she created a space for everyone to feel comfortable to be reflective and vulnerable so to discuss our parallel journeys. This really created a sense of community in sharing our joys and fears and being able to have open and honest conversations. Kelly was so easily able to do this for us because of the depth of her character. She has a passion for this work. Not only was Kelly able to meet us at the height of our deepest fears, she also has an incredible grounding presence to be the calm when you are in the midst of chaos. As with most biological processes, our birth did not go as planned and was such a complete shock to us that transpired over a matter of minutes that we didn't even have any time to process, but Kelly met us at every step along the way. In one moment, she was the skillful, confident midwife who rose to the occasion and delivered our baby. In the next, she was my compass, emotionally orienting me to what I had just been through and to take a moment for myself and my child. Our family honestly would not be where we are today without her and we cannot recommend her enough.

She worked closely with me since day 1 when we brought the baby home. Having her visiting us at home made it much easier than going out somewhere else. I had issues with my milk supply and Aki patiently troubleshot and gave me a lot of great recommendations. My baby loved her presence and thrived. When the baby had tongue tie and latching issues, Aki recommended a great doctor who treated my baby well. If you are looking for a lactation consultant, I'd highly recommend Aki and get her to visit before giving birth. I made a few mistakes and wished that I've met her earlier. Overall, we couldn't thank her enough for her support. She is truly a gem.

As a first time mom, I struggled with BF the first few days with a poor latch and was unsure how to deal engorgement as my milk came in. Aki was quick to schedule an appointment with me and her practice makes it so convenient as she comes right to your home. She showed me how to get a better latch and also improve my posture to make BF easier. My BF experience improved so much. Aki met with me after 2 weeks and also at 1 month to check in on me and guide me through pumping should I need to. Aki truly enjoys what she does and cares for her clients, and it definitely shows. She answered all of my questions and gave me all the right resources. Aki also makes herself available through text should you have any questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of lactation support!
