"Charley is a miracle worker. She helped us 5 nights a week for our first 8 weeks of parenthood and I think it was the best decision my husband and I ever made. She is extremely knowledgeable and caring but never pushy or judgmental, she was amazing with our daughter, and she did all she could to make our lives as new parents easier (especially mine while I was recovering from childbirth). The rest we were able to get with Charley's help let us enjoy the newborn phase so much more than we would have otherwise. You will be so glad you hired her! But she books up so get those dates in early!"

"Charley is a gem. She supported my family as a nighttime doula during the first 8 weeks of having our first newborn, when we had no idea what we were doing. Luckily she was there every step of the way with a nighttime text, product recommendation, or homemade lactation cookies. Even just having her 2 days a week was such a relief. It's obvious how much she loves babies and her job, and I always felt safe leaving our little one in her care."

"Charley was just what we needed to help us feel confident in being new parents with no family support nearby. She walked us through how to make our daughter’s experiences in day-to-day things like diaper changes, soothing for naps, tummy time and baths much more enjoyable for her which, in turn, made us feel like capable parents. We’d highly recommend her for any parent looking for some support postpartum."

10 out of 5 stars for doula Charley! She was absolutely amazing, and I don't know how we would have gotten through the first few months with our newborn. Charley truly loves babies and was so caring with our son. She showed us the ropes of caring for a newborn, such as paced feeding and bathing, and was also attentive to my emotional needs as a new mother. My son struggled with a milk protein allergy and severe reflux, which led him to be uncomfortable most of the time. As first time parents, most people were telling us it was normal for babies to be fussy. Charley was one of the only people telling us that it was not normal and had various suggestions to allievate his symptoms while we worked with our pediatrician and other medical professionals. In the end, she spent many of our sessions with our baby wrapped on her so we could all get the rest we needed. Charley was also very sensitive to my emotions during this time as I had trouble breastfeeding and ultimately needed to give our son hypoallergenic formula. In a world that really pushes "breast is best" it was wonderful to have Charley there to be a voice of reason and support. After all, it's better for a baby to be comfortable and sleep over having breast milk that makes him feel ill. I am so thankful that we found Charley and highly recommend her for others!

Charley was great and helped with ideas for setting up place to make comfortable for the newborn.
Also great to hear her suggestions for helping with newborn sleep during overnight stays.
Friendly personality, and great with baby.

We can't thank Charley enough for all that she did for us and our son. We are consistently getting 8-10 hour stretches now since she started with us and we are forever grateful. Charley was instrumental in helping to point out the discomfort that our son had in his sleep and was great about recommending a new bottle to try out to alleviate gas, gave tips for different nursing positions, and helped calm our nerves with any doubts or fears we had as first time parents. She was a calm and kind presence and made us feel comfortable right away. Would certainly bring her on again for our next baby. Our dog loved her too!

 We are beyond grateful for the exceptional support and guidance provided by our postpartum doula, Charley. She played an instrumental role in helping us transition into the wonderful yet challenging world of first-time parenthood. From the moment we returned home from the hospital, she was our guardian angel, ensuring our comfort, educating us, and offering a soothing presence during this life-changing period.

One of Charley's most remarkable qualities is her unwavering patience. She listened attentively to our concerns, never once making us feel like our questions were trivial. Her calming presence reassured us in moments of doubt, and her gentle guidance helped boost our confidence as new parents.

Above all, Charley prioritized our well-being. She made sure that we received the rest we desperately needed during her visits, allowing us to recharge both physically and mentally. Her care extended not only to our baby but to us as a family unit, and that made all the difference during those early, sleep-deprived days. We cannot recommend her enough to any new parents seeking a helping hand and a heart full of compassion!

Charley was a wonderful resource as we adjusted to being a family of three. She was especially great in helping us issue spot as we troubleshooted some pretty bad GI/allergy issues for our son, and had thoughtful and useful suggestions based on her wealth of experience. 

Charley was a wonderful addition to our team as we navigated the postpartum journey - from feeding suggestions to helping strategize sleep suggestions, she made our nights (and our days!) so much smoother.
