What families say

Lace has been with our family for the past three months since my son was born, and she has been nothing short of amazing. She came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and she still managed to exceed all of our expectations.

★★★★★ — Mary, 2026-04

Lace was our night nurse for our second baby Cal. He had reflux and some sleep issues and Lace was an absolute godsend to our family. She cared for Cal like he was her own child. I don’t know what we would have done without her. She was able to work with Cals needs and got him sleeping through the night.

★★★★★ — Haley, 2026-04

We are so grateful and lucky to have had Lace as our doula for our first born. She was an incredible insight during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Lace was very easy to talk to, patient, and supportive.
