"Alyssa’s kind and compassionate nature paired along with her expertise in all things baby made my transition into motherhood feel so supported. The care for you and your child usually stops after you leave the hospital, but with Alyssa only a phone call away I was able to feel the emotional support I needed to be able to feel confident in my new role.
Alyssa was available at anytime. At midnight feeding sessions I would text her and it seemed as though by my next session I would have a response waiting for me when I awoke. As a woman learning to become a mother insecurities arise at every corner. Alyssa was able to kindly educate me on the latest research and guide me on the various choices I had at every obstacle. Her care delivery is genuine and nonjudgemental, which can be tough to come by in the motherhood world. The list of resources she gave me was plentiful and helped me to educate myself in different aspects when I was ready to. I can’t say enough about Alyssa and her kind heart, simply having her voice on the other end of the phone line put me at ease. I am so eager to see where this new adventure takes her and so happy for all of her clients, you really hit the jackpot with this special woman as your doula!"
"I really can’t thank Alyssa enough for all of her help during my breastfeeding journey. As a new mom I was riddled with anxiety and had a million questions when it came to breastfeeding. She helped me perfect my latch, and gave me so many helpful tips to help ease the pain I was experiencing during feeds. Not only is Alyssa incredibly knowledgeable, she is deeply compassionate, and empathetic. She’s been so eager to help and such a huge comfort to me every step of the way. I feel so lucky to have her by my side as I navigate my new role as a mommy. "
“I gave birth to my son the week the pandemic began raging in New York City so in-person support was nonexistent. I worked with Alyssa virtually on breastfeeding & pumping (both of which were challenging), soothing techniques, newborn sleep, formula & bottle preparation, newborn & baby activities, and overall wellness. I valued her knowledge and expertise and was especially grateful that she delivered it all tactfully. She was gentle when I needed her to be and then empowered me so I felt confident in the skills I acquired through my motherhood journey. As I evolve as a parent I am constantly in touch with Alyssa and will be forever!”
“I am a first time expecting mama and have found Alyssa’s guidance and expertise extremely educational and reassuring as I prepare for the birth of my daughter. While I continue to have so many questions about pregnancy, the birthing process and breast feeding specifically, Alyssa always responds with warmth and professionalism.
During our first discussions about my upcoming labor and port partum experience, it was clear that Alyssa took my plans and preferences into account with great care and sensitivity. I am so grateful for the guidance Alyssa has provided me thus far and feel tremendously more at ease and supported as I enter this next phase of motherhood."
Studies have shown that birthing people who have the support of a doula are more likely to have a positive birth experience. They are also less likely to experience complications such as postpartum depression.
