What families say
My spouse said it best when he declared that the certificate for Held was by far the nicest gift he has ever recieved. Truly, I couldn't agree more. We are so blessed to have received the gift of Muriel's offerings for the arrival of our second child.
This is my second postpartum working with Muriel. I think I texted her the day I found out I was pregnant just to make sure we had a spot! She is truly incredible at providing support to postpartum parents.
Gosh, where to begin? My husband and I were graced with Muriels postpartum care when our babe Hazel was born in October. We opted for several 6 hour visits starting week 3 (if I remember correctly), and we chose to do our own grocery shopping to maximize Muriels time with us at home.
If you're on the fence about hiring a postpartum doula, I hope this review tips the scales towards a yes for you, and especially towards Muriel! After a really difficult newborn period with my firstborn, I swore I would intentionally seek and accept support for this go-around.
