Overnight Support
"Meghan is amazing! She is warm, straightforward, and full of knowledge. I appreciated all of her advice and assistance while recovering from my c-section. She jumped right in to do light housework (she's the reason why we did not drown in laundry those first few weeks!) and ensured that I was cared for". - N

Additionally, doulas offer valuable education on newborn care, fostering confidence and competence in new parents. By ensuring a smoother adjustment to life with a newborn, overnight doulas contribute to a more positive and supported early parenting experience.
