I can't recommend Moon Sister Doula highly enough! Monica has been so helpful to me and my wife…read moreduring postpartum time. She is very knowledgeable and reassuring (which I really appreciate as a first time parent!), has excellent communication skills, and is willing to help in any way she can. Every time she comes over she meets us where we are at that day. Sometimes we have a big project that needs doing and she helps us tackle it. If we don't have a lot of specific things to get done, she intuitively finds a way to match what we need that day. In terms of both emotional support and the physical hard work that it takes to care for a newborn, she is always there for us. Thank you Moon Sister!

In May 2023, I hired Moon Sisters Doula after having my second child. I wasn't sure what to expect…read morefrom having a postpartum doula, but I was hoping that having a doula would lessen PPA. Monica did not disappoint. She was amazing and she lessened my postpartum anxiety and helped eased my family's transition from a family of three to a family of four. Monica has a warm and professional approach. During the in-home meeting, she listened carefully to mine and my partner's concerns and worked with us on the hours and days we wanted her to provide postpartum doula services. When she was working with us, she would anticipate what we needed or wanted - such as helping with picking up, sweeping, dishes, and taking out the trash - without us asking. Primarily, I needed assistance with my older child (2yrs old), such as watching her so I can get some sleep, take a shower, or just have a break. She was amazing at both watching my child and helping out around the house. Monica also provided some knowledge on diastasis recti, different holds for the baby when she has gas, and how to wear baby carriers/wraps. At the end of each session, she checked in with me about whether all mine and my family's needs were met and how she could better assist us for the next session. She listened carefully and came prepared for the next session. Both me and my family looked forward to each session because she made the post-partum period easier and less frustrating. I recommend Moon Sister Doula to my friends that are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.

Ugh, we can't say enough great things about Kristin! I had…read morea consultation meet up with her in my first trimester and pretty much immediately stopped looking into any other doulas. Kristin has such a grounding and inviting vibe and energy that felt comforting and supportive right from the start. You know how some providers/professionals will say they're supportive of your choices but you can tell they are actually judging you? Kristin is the complete opposite! She was down for and excited about any decision that I felt was right for me, my baby, and our birth - which didn't just communicate support but also made me feel empowered and centered in my own choices. My fiancé was pretty skeptical about hiring a doula - his family and friends had all had kids and no one had "needed" a doula - but he ended up SO thankful and grateful that Kristin was by our side. He can't stop singing her praises to anyone who will listen! Kristin was/is so knowledgeable and informative. Anytime there was a turn in the road, we immediately looked to her. She would provide some small education and then give her perspective, ultimately reassuring us that we were in control of what decision we ended up making and what felt most right for us and our birth. She stayed by our side the whole time - I truly don't know what we would have done without her! She took some photos, kept track of timelines, and helped make sure baby latched for the first time. Even postpartum she has been such a life saver. We're able to text her our freak out questions and she responds with the same attentiveness and care as she did before and during birth. She also did my placenta encapsulation and supports us with our lactation questions and needs. Can't recommend her enough

Literally best birth experience ever! Kristin was attentive and caring but also was not in any way…read morepushy or smothering. Kristin knows exactly what you need because she actually LISTENS to you and truly respects your preferences. She empowered me and knew what to do when I was in labor. For example, she came prepped with a hot pack and she pushed it against my back when I was having hard contractions (which helped so much) without me having to ask or say anything. She just knew it would feel better. Kristin supported me getting an epidural and never judged or pushed any beliefs on me. She checked in on me throughout my pregnancy but was never bothersome and took away my anxiety rather than added to it. Kristin gave me reassurance when I was overdue and sure enough my baby came out four days late with not even 20 mins of pushing. It was amazing! She is professional, knowledgeable and kind- the perfect combination for a doula. I cannot recommend Kristin enough!

I met La Kiesha in 2021. She lived close by, which felt like a sign, and her energy was infectious…read morefrom our very first meeting with my husband. At the time, I was debating between a home birth and a hospital birth, since I'd had my other two babies in a hospital. Before she left that day, La Kiesha looked at me and said, "You're a home birth mom." We paid her in full that same day. We knew she was the one. La Kiesha became far more than a doula. She sat down with my parents and my children beforehand, bringing props and books to help prepare the whole family. When I went into labor with my daughter, she was there in an instant, making sure I ate, stayed hydrated, and felt supported every step of the way. When I struggled to settle during delivery, she gently told me my body needed to shift and move. I did, and within the hour, my daughter was born. If you're wondering whether to go with Agape Birth and Wellness, follow your heart. Agape means unconditional love, and that name felt like a clear sign La Kiesha was the one. She gives her kindness so naturally that it's simply who she is. To this day, I consider her an extension of my family. I love her so much, and she is amazing.

As a father and now a proud grandfather, it meant so much to me knowing that my daughter had someone experienced, compassionate, patient, and caring by her side during such an important moment in her life. LaKiesha provided more than just professional support--she brought a calming presence, encouragement, reassurance, and genuine love to the entire experience. Watching my daughter become a mother and welcoming my granddaughter into our family is something I will never forget. Knowing that LaKiesha played such an important role in helping make that experience positive and memorable makes me forever grateful. Thank you, LaKiesha, for answering the calling to support mothers and families during one of life's greatest moments. Our family truly appreciates everything you did. I would highly recommend Doula LaKiesha to any expecting mother looking for someone knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to the families she serves. From one very grateful and proud grandpa--thank you!

I found Renea online & met with her a few days later in our home. I knew by the end of our meeting that she was who I wanted beside me as I labored and gave birth. On the day I went into labor we were in constant communication via text. Once active labor began she came over to my home (with all of her essential oils!) and worked through the contractions with me. She was a strong supporter for me during this intense time! She came with us to the hospital and was right by my side as I delivered my son. We hired her again for our second-born son's delivery and she was with me, again, during active labor and at the hospital. We also saw her for a postpartum visit after each delivery. It's been 2 years since we first hired her and we are still friends. I text her randomly with a question and she is quick to reply! I've said this before and i'll say it again--i wouldn't want to birth my babies without Renea by my side!

Martha was truly one of the best decisions we made as first-time parents. She was with us from our…read morevery first night home through six weeks, providing overnight newborn care and giving my wife and me the peace of mind and rest we desperately needed. I had a C-section, and my recovery would have been much more difficult without Martha's help. She cared for our newborn overnight so my wife could actually sleep between taking care of the baby and supporting me during my recovery. That rest made a huge difference for our journey as parents. We entered this new phase of life more rested, more confident and overall more able to enjoy our newborn bubble. Martha is incredibly warm, professional, knowledgeable, and wonderful to have in your home. As a first-time mom, I had endless questions every night, and being able to ask someone with years of expertise who already knew our baby was invaluable. She provided personalized guidance based on our baby's individual baseline--something you simply can't get from Reddit, Google, or even a doctor who hasn't spent that same time getting to know your baby. She helped answer ours various with feeding, (is that enough, is that too much?) the type of bottles and formula that would be best for her, diaper rash, the umbilical cord, soothing, sleep, and all the little questions that come up with a newborn. She always made us feel more confident and reassured. Her newborn and sleep-shaping set up is another huge benefit. Our baby sleeps pretty gooood (not to brag) and I fully credit Martha for that. Our baby was sleeping 4/5 stretches from like 3 weeks on and has hit 5/6 consistently since. & it's not cry-it out, its gentle routine. She helped us establish routines that worked for our family and gave us structure during the day and night. Having Martha with us from night one was genuinely life-changing. She is funny, sweet, dependable, and truly cares about the families she works with. We will absolutely seek her out for our second baby and cannot recommend her enough to any new parents considering overnight newborn care.

I can't say enough good things about Martha! We hired her four nights a week for my son's first six…read moreweeks, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Knowing it was a night she was scheduled to come brought such peace of mind. From the moment she walked through the door, she stepped into action, anticipating what needed to be done and making our lives so much easier. This is my second child, and the newborn period has been dramatically easier than it was with my first. Martha played a huge role in that. Not only did she provide exceptional overnight care, but she also helped us establish healthy sleep habits and develop a routine that fit our family. My son is now 3 months old and is an incredible sleeper, and I truly credit Martha with helping lay that foundation. Martha is kind, calm, dependable, punctual, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She gave us the confidence to enjoy those early weeks instead of just trying to survive them. If you're considering hiring Martha as a night doula, don't hesitate. You won't regret it!
