What families say
Cheryl is an incredible doula, she and her partner Justice were so helpful for us postpartum. Cheryl took the time to speak with us several times before the birth, and really got to know us and understand our needs.
To be an effective Doula requires many skills; knowing the birth and labor process inside and out, trusting your instinct and being decisive, navigating tricky social situations between spouses and doctors/care teams with patients, AND reading the mom you’re supporting to know what she needs - ideally without her…
I cannot thank Cheryl enough for the support she provided during such a vulnerable and emotional time. My baby arrived earlier than expected, and with my family unable to be with me, I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Cheryl stepped in at the last minute and immediately became a calming and reassuring presence.
Cheryl is truly the best of the best. As I began my family planning process I scheduled a consult with Cheryl to understand better the role of a doula and to get a sense of what I could expect of her when I am (eventually) pregnant.
