I could not have asked for a more kind, compassionate, capable, and supportive doula than Shamika Matos. Throughout the months leading up to birth, through a difficult labor and delivery, and postpartum, she has been there for me every step …

Marianne was a total lifesaver in labor and delivery and the time leading up. She was exactly the kind of doula I was looking for as she is extremely well versed in movement and different positions, anatomy and pain management techniques, ...

Recently, my husband and I had the privilege of working with Amy, an exceptional Doula (who I found through Boober), and I am thrilled to share my testimonial about my outstanding experience with her. Amy is one of the most caring people I have ever met. She was patient, understanding, and compassionate during my pregnancy, childbirth, and early child-rearing.
From the beginning, I noticed how knowledgeable and empathetic she is. We were particularly fearful of a cesarean birth. Amy responded by walking us through all of the medical interventions that might lead to a cesarean birth being more likely. She tailored her support to us from the very beginning. She visited several times during my pregnancy to ensure we adjusted to the changes we were going through, answering all of our questions with evidence-based advice.
On the day of my baby girl's birth, Amy arrived soon after we did and stayed with us the entire time. Her calm and reassuring presence put me at ease as she provided physical and emotional support and coached my husband on how best to care for me. I was surprised by how present she was despite how late into the night it was. She endured each hour with me, giving me massages and counter-pressure exercises to cope with the pain. I planned for an unmedicated birth, but at dawn, after hours of pain, I decided to go with an epidural, and Amy supported my decision. If it wasn't for Amy, I couldn't have been without an epidural for as many hours as I did.
Postpartum, Amy visited us regularly, offering emotional support, breastfeeding assistance, and practical guidance for caring for our newborn. Her genuine care and dedication extended far beyond the birth. I don't have enough words to express how happy my husband and I are that we met her. I can confidently say that Amy not only greatly enhanced my birth experience with her presence but that without her, my chances for a C-Section would have increased dramatically, as well as the overall pain, stress, and anxiety. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking an extraordinary doula. If I have a second baby, I will want to have Amy by my side again.
