“SJ helped us with sleep training our little 6 month old and it's incredible how much his sleep improved! We thought we had figured out his sleep and then his 4 month regression hit and we never fully recovered from it. We reached out to SJ after a recommendation and when we implemented her sleep plan, we saw improvement on the 2nd night. I found her approach helpful for our baby and less anxiety provoking for me - the sleep plan was very supportive for our little guy but still firm in our expectations for him. On the 2nd night, I could sense him actually learning how to get comfortable to sleep on his own, which I wasn't expecting. I told SJ that it felt like what I'm assuming what it'll feel like when teaching him to read or do puzzles when he's older. I'm there to support him but he needs to figure it out! Thank you for helping us SJ!”

“We worked with SJ for 6 weeks and enlisted her for postpartum doula support and chef services. SJ was incredibly supportive and helpful during this period and we cannot recommend her highly enough for any interested family. From the moment she arrived on the first day we knew were in excellent hands. SJ is highly knowledgeable, caring, wonderful with babies, and has a warm-welcoming demeanor. She answered all of our questions, provided suggestions, and made sure we were comfortable with any plan for our newborn. Every day when SJ arrived she would ask us how were doing, how our day was, and was genuinely interested in our wellbeing. It was comforting to have her as a support system for us, not just our newborn son. SJ was also very thorough and always provided detailed notes and a recap of her time with our newborn so we knew how the night went. I'm confident that any family who chooses to work with SJ for support will be as incredibly happy with their decision as we were.”

“Baby Julian is doing amazing. He's getting visibly stronger every day, and he's a very jolly baby. He can do "sit-ups" now, and today for the first time he rolled over to sleep on his tummy! He's sleeping 10-11 hours a night and his naps are getting easier, more predictable and longer. He says hello and thank you again!”

“We loved having SJ as our postpartum doula! We hired SJ to come and help us—and especially cook for us—in the early weeks after our newest baby was born. I knew this experience would feel different than my past, less-fully-supported postpartum experiences, but I had no idea how much better and nourished I’d feel with SJ’s presence in our home. She would come to us and make incredible, comforting, postpartum-friendly foods, but also would model what it looked like to be a loving and welcome presence in a freshly postpartum home, freeing up space for all of us to better care for one another, as well as to be more present and nourished in those early days and months. I can’t recommend SJ more!”

“SJ was a dream to have postpartum. She made everything very easy…she sent an organized list of menu options, ordered the fod, and cleaned up everything after she was done without leaving a trace. But the best part of all was her food and her company. Both nourished me at a time when I was feeling so depleted. I recommend her highly - you will be so happy to have her as part of your ‘village’!”

“I hired SJ as a postpartum doula/home-chef and it was fantastic to have her support during those first few weeks of newborn fog. She was absolutely lovely to communicate with both in planning for how she could best support our family, and to have in our home once a week while she was cooking for us. The food she made was delicious, and easy to reheat for lunches and dinners, and she asked for feedback each week to make sure we were getting what we needed. She was great company, and offered some gentle movement and breath work in addition to the cooking she did for us. It was so wonderful to know that we had delicious, nourishing food for the week and not have to constantly be asking "what will we eat for dinner tonight" so we could focus on the new baby. I especially appreciated that she took into consideration our tastes and preferences, but did all of the meal planning and shopping so there was no need for me to prep or plan before her visits. Although we used her services mostly for cooking, she was very open and would be a great support for a variety of postpartum needs--including just having company and a listening ear! I couldn't recommend her enough to support during this family transition.”
