"I wholeheartedly recommend Kelsey as an exceptional postpartum doula. She was an absolute rock for us during our transition into parenthood.
As first-time parents, Kelsey's presence was like a warm hug. She expertly cared for our baby during those crucial nights, giving us the rest we desperately needed while still ensuring I could exclusively breastfeed my baby and keep my supply up. Her help with our newborn was just the beginning - she also showered us with resources, homemade meals, and an empathetic ear for all my postpartum worries.
What makes Kelsey truly stand out is her genuine care for both the baby and me. From the very first day, I felt an instant connection and sense of trust. Her support didn't just make our days easier, it made them meaningful.
I'll always remember the relief that washed over me that first night she arrived. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally share the challenges of new parenthood with someone who really understood me.
Kelsey's adaptability, passion, and incredible way with babies make her an outstanding doula. And her cooking? Let's just say she made the postpartum period a lot tastier.
Brining Kelsey on board for your postpartum journey is like gaining a wise and caring companion. As we think about expanding our family, we're filled with confidence knowing that she'll be there once again. She's not just a doula to us; she's a cherished friend who made a world of difference."

"Having Kelsey as our doula was one of the best decisions we made. We decided to move when I was 8 months pregnant. As we were quite preoccupied w/ logistics, we thought a doula might help us prepare and plan for labor as we felt pretty unprepared. We had a kick off call with Kelsey and immediately liked her calm nature and flexibility. During our prenatal sessions, Kelsey was extremely informative, helping us craft a birth plan and showing us different birthing positions. As we got closer to the day, Kelsey cleared her scheduled and got everything in order. When it was go time, she spent 22 hours of labor w/ me and my husband, offering advice, massaging my lower back, (barely) sleeping in a chair, thinking through pain options, recommending positions and cheering me on in the final stretch. She was a great support and we are so grateful to have her there on our big day. She has a huge heart and shows this through home made food, check-ins and her warm loving smile. It was totally lucky we connected with Kelsey but if we have another, we will definitely hire her again. She is just wonderful and both my husband and I cannot recommend her enough!"

"Doula Kelsey is a true gift, I wouldn't be the mama I am today without her compassionate, loving, support in those early days. Kelsey so easily fit into our world, my daughter took to her immediately, as did my two dogs (who refer to her as their doggie doula). Kelsey helped with those early middle of the night feeds, making sure I stayed hydrated and had healthy snacks, someone to chat with, and most crucial for me was her incredible network and resources. I had a very difficult time breast feeding in the beginning, Kelsey lovingly held space for me, provided encouragement, and connected me with some wonderful communities that supported me when Kelsey was not physically with me, as I had her entirely as night support. I was on the fence about whether or not to have additional support, and it turned out to be the best thing I did for myself and my daughter."

"We were lucky to find Kelsey through an online parent group. This being our second pregnancy, we thought we knew what we were doing but quickly realized we had much to learn! From the start, Kelsey was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about pregnancy and childbirth. She talked with us about our past experience and what we hoped for this time around. She had a very flexible schedule and was always prompt to our sessions. At each session, Kelsey came prepared with a wealth of information about each stage of the journey and demonstrated such a caring and warm demeanor, always reminding us that she was available to talk and answer questions at any time. She helped us develop a birth plan and gave us the confidence that we didn’t have the first time around. We knew we were in good hands! When the big day arrived, Kelsey met us at the hospital and a sense of calm immediately took over the room. Her hands-on support was second to none and even when my labor took unexpected turns, Kelsey always had helpful strategies to get us back on track. She took the time to ask questions, listen, and give support to help keep us clear-headed. During our postpartum visit, our daughter melted into Kelsey’s arms and slept for hours giving me a chance to rest and relax. I don’t know what we would have done without Kelsey there to help bring my daughter earthside, and I highly recommend her to support your journey!"

“We had the pleasure of working with Kelsey, an extraordinary individual and professional, immediately following the birth of our second child. Kelsey provided her night doula services for around 6 to 9 weeks and the level of support we received from her was nothing short of phenomenal.
Kelsey exudes warmth, knowledge, and a deep passion for her craft. On her first night with us, Kelsey showed up with delicious homemade tomato soup and the tastiest “lactation muffins” to help sustain me while breastfeeding during the long, newborn nights. I had never eaten in the middle of the night with my son, but the muffins ended up being exactly what I needed at 4am and made a huge difference in my seriously iron depleted state. This level of care deeply impacted each member of our family by providing mental and physical relief. Instead of waking up in the middle of the night to support me, my husband was able to sleep through, which meant he had the energy to wrangle our very active toddler every morning while I slept in.
The first 6 weeks with any newborn is crazy, and our first 6 weeks also brought the birthday of her big brother, Christmas, New Years, and an intense cold for me. Kelsey’s nighttime support meant that we were getting some rest and had the energy to celebrate these important milestones.
Working with Kelsey was one of the best investments we've ever made, setting a strong foundation for our developing young family. We are beyond grateful for the support and care Kelsey provided during this special time in our lives. Her contribution to our family's well-being during those early weeks with our newborn cannot be overstated.”
