Mila was my birth doula - not just a doula, but an incredible source of support before, during, and after labor. She felt like a close family member who truly... read more cares, worries, and wants to make everything easier. Thanks to her, breastfeeding was established very smoothly - my breasts never hurt because she showed me the proper latch technique right after birth. I could always reach out to her with questions and she always had the right advice. Mila has a very holistic approach, which suited me perfectly.
While many people think of a doula for birth support as I did, we were so grateful to have Diana with us for night support/care. She was with us for... read more eight weeks of night shifts, and her impact was nothing short of life-saving. Every night, she arrived with a warm smile and an energy that reassured us we were in the best of hands. Her care for our newborn was exceptional—she handled every feeding, diaper change, and cuddle with incredible patience and love. Watching her with our baby was a beautiful experience, and we felt completely at ease knowing our little one was so well cared for. Beyond the practical support, Diana provided invaluable emotional and educational guidance. She listened to our concerns, offered gentle advice on everything from sleep patterns to feeding techniques, and celebrated every tiny milestone with us. Each morning I looked forward to our check-ins with her to here how our child did through the night. She would also give us tips for what she did that we could use the nights she was not here. We honestly don't know how we would have navigated those first eight weeks without her. She gave us the most precious gift a parent can receive: the ability to rest, recover, and truly enjoy those fleeting early moments. Diana is a rare gem, and we will forever be grateful for the love, wisdom, and support she poured into our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking not just a doula, but a compassionate and genuine advocate for their family's well-being.
I worked with Diana as my doula for VBac delivery. She was so personable, kind, funny, and treated me like a family member. She visited with me several times prior... read more to my due date. Diana taught me very specific exercises that would help me prepare for birth. She is compassionate and truly cares about you. At the hospital when it was time for baby to arrive, she made me feel so cared for and put my worries at ease. She checked on me frequently after baby arrived. Her relaxation exercises and guidance helped immensely! Thanks to her, I was able to achieve my VBac delivery. My husband and I are grateful for Diana!!! I always say she is forever tied to me thanks to her amazing service during such a precious moment in my life helping me with the birth of my baby. Highly recommend her as a birth doula. Thank you, Diana!
My experience with all the doulas at MotherRetreat has been amazing. Each one brings their own unique touch as every person is different but All of them came with such... read more amazing helpful assistance for our family between tips and help for myself, self care and breastfeeding, helping with Baby/Toddler schedules ! I don’t know how it would have been on my own trying to get into the new juggle of things without them & their quiet soothing presence at night to my newborn I always felt so comfortable with us all in their care. I loved all my people from Samantha’s comfort and busy hands ready to juggle it all with me during the day where I still felt so seen and taken care of, to Zhanna’s peaceful evenings where every night went smooth, to Diana jumping in with great advice, handling a sick toddler one day with baby boy and being able to chat and laugh with her as well are Daria - the breathe I could take when they showed up and peace I felt with my family in their hands as well as those priceless mornings I could come down and have some coffee and take a moment before the day began ! So priceless . The help has put me in such a stronger more confident position as a mother and although I’m sad our time with assistance is ending, i feel so good with how far they have taken me in just a short few weeks. Love them so much!
We are beyond grateful for the incredible care Diana provided during those early newborn weeks. She was calm, knowledgeable, and truly a lifesaver for our sleep and sanity. Her presence brought... read more peace to our nights. Highly recommend to any new parents needing support!
