A golden and graceful postpartum…

Traditional wisdom reveres the period after birth as sacred, honoring the delicate balance between mother, baby, and family. Known as the "fourth trimester," this beautiful time allows for much-needed rest and rejuvenation, fostering an atmosphere of tender care and deep connection. Postpartum doulas are inspired by the community's historical customs, where generous amounts of time were dedicated to mothers, wisdom was lovingly passed down, and compassionate space was held for their healing and growth.

Testimonials

Oni was our Post Partum Doula for the nights starting when I transitioned back to work full time after maternity leave. She had a very calming energy every time she arrived.

Her presence was comforting and reassuring at the times we needed it the most, I just knew my baby was in great care as we rested. She was prompt and well organized making the process seamless. When Oni was here, we were able to get a full night's rest so we could function and excel the next day at work. She would help tend to the baby and feed her when she would wake, as well as make sure all bottles were washed and ready for our morning prep. This support was exactly what we needed to make parenting, and the sleep deprivation tied to it, feel much more manageable. In turn, feeling rested only helped us be the best versions of ourselves with our baby, and that is priceless to us. We truly are grateful to have Oni as a part of our village during this newborn phase, and can not recommend her enough

Oni was our postpartum doula after our first son was born in December 2021. She was truly a life saver and marriage saver with her gentle and caring approach to newborn health and sleep, breastfeeding, and emotional support. As first time parents we learned so much from Oni’s time with our family. She was able to guide us to create healthy and sustainable sleeping and feeding patterns with our newborn, which ultimately helped us identify and address an allergy. Oni has a wealth of experience and knowledge of newborns and postpartum care and has an incredibly positive, loving and nurturing personality. The moment we met her we knew she would be a great fit for our family

I’m a first time mommy to a baby boy. The whole pregnancy I was already nervous about caring for a child, let along a newborn.When it was time to come home from the hospital, I was given a doula, Oni. She was the best thing that happened to me during the first weeks and months.From the start, Oni had a warm and sweet personality. She was very respectful of needs and concerns in the household. Always clean, helpful, was there to answer my questions when I was unsure and helped me become more confident in my motherhood journey.I can truly say that Oni gave me a piece of mind and comfort in the whole process. I was comfortable enough to ask anything I was unsure about.Thank you Oni for your time with our family

Bina

As first time parents, having postpartum support was hugely beneficial to recovery and bonding with my newborn. Oni was able to provide insight into her experience, professional advice and an extras set of hands with our baby

Melissa B

Oni gave us exactly the piece of mind we were looking for. I was breastfeeding and struggling to catch up on my sleep those first few weeks after my daughter was born. I looked forward to the nights Oni would come, and her peaceful and comforting demeanor was a perfect fit for me. I could trust her to care for my daughter and I got the deepest sleep those nights that she came. I would absolutely use her services again!

Natalie R.

Oni was with us from time our baby was one week old and he has not been an easy baby - she adapted with ease, and was invested in his progress and how he was doing! She’s very professional, pleasant, and a savior to our rest!!! We were so thankful to have her.
