Doula Petra is amazing! I never considered a night doula until after we had our little girl and came home that first week - I was in a panic and googling night doulas at 3am. I heard back from Petra by 6am that same day and then had a FaceTime call with her later that same afternoon.

Petra is fabulous. If she is available during your 'window' of needing help, I highly recommending inviting her into your family! I connected with Petra in advance of my second child as I anticipated needing some night time support. I read her fabulous reviews, loved her background and reached out.

★★★★★ — Lillian, 2021-01

I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Petra. She cared for my third baby with such compassion. Petra is reliable, professional, experienced, organized and kind.
