My wife and I hired Caela as a postpartum doula and Caela is a life saver!As parents of an almost-three year old toddler, we knew we had a serious life adjustment ahead when welcoming our second child home. With Caela's support and guidance, we woke up most mornings well rested and ready to take on the day with our newborn and our toddler.Caela provided a lot of experience-based insight that helped us soothe and settle our newborn to sleep much faster, lactation consulting/support with my wife, and a much-needed extra set of hands freeing up my wife or myself when our toddler also needed a parent in the wee hours of the morning.What you can expect working with Caela:- Calm kindness, understanding, and adaptability to your family's needs- A reassuring and trustworthy caretaker for both your newborn child and postpartum partner- Been-there/done-that experience and advice for all things pregnancy, delivery, lactation, postpartum care, newborn care - even toddler parenting insight- Dependability and reliability; Caela let us know whenever she was on the way over, she was always early or on-time, and she would sign off for the morning with detailed notes/insights about the night beforeAs a dad, I'll admit that the idea of someone else taking care of "the night shift" hit my pride a bit - that was "dad work" when we had our first kid, and I was concerned I'd lose valuable bonding time with our new arrival. "I didn't need help with our first kid! Why should we hire someone for that?" I thought... but I was also awake most of the night with our first kid, or up handling bottle cleaning, house pickup, etc.To the dads (and moms) out there: if you're thinking the same way I was, swallow your pride and get some sleep. Extra hands really does make light work. You can still wake up and do nighttime feedings and get your skin-to-skin baby snuggles in... and then you can go back to sleep and get rest. You'll get way more rest than you thought was possible with a newborn because Caela is there to handle the burping, the spit ups, the diapers, the soothing/shushing/putting back to sleep, preparing bottles, etc so you don't have to.Specifically to the other dads out there: your wife doesn't want jewelry or other gifts more than this. She wants and needs rest and hands-on help with the kid WAY more.My wife and I cannot adequately express how thankful we are for Caela's assistance as we adjusted to life with two kids. Our newborn is in a better sleep/diaper/feed/repeat rhythm thanks to Caela, and our toddler got much more patient well rested parents during the day, too.10/10, we cannot recommend Caela more highly, and she will always have a seat at our table!

We worked with Caela as our postpartum doula, and she is truly a dream. From the moment she entered our home, we felt completely comfortable and at ease with her. Her kindness, gentle approach, and genuine care for our baby, my husband, and myself were evident in everything she did.Because of her support, we were able to get much-needed rest, and she shared invaluable guidance during the early weeks (and at the wee hours of the morning), especially with lactation support. She saw me not just as a mother, but as a person, and made me feel deeply supported during such a vulnerable time. We are beyond grateful for her care and could not recommend her more highly.

I had an amazing experience working with Caela as my doula! From the very beginning, she brought such positive, reassuring energy to the process. She helped me develop my birth plan and made sure I felt informed and confident about my choices.Leading up to labor, Caela coached me on techniques like gentle workouts, meditation, and relaxation exercises to help prepare for the most comfortable birth possible. When labor began, she came to my home ahead of the hospital and stayed with me throughout the entire birth. She was an incredible advocate for what I wanted, and her support made all the difference in managing pain and staying calm and focused.Thanks to Caela’s guidance, I was able to have the birth experience I hoped for, and our baby arrived healthy and perfectly in line with our birth goals. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and compassionate doula!

Caela is a kind, gentle and caring provider. We felt so comfortable having her in our home for night time doula services. She was always flexible and very easy to work with! I highly recommend her and plan to use her again if we have another baby.

Caela is wonderful at what she does. We used her postpartum care services and she was compassionate and professional. Having her support after a loss was invaluable. She helped not only with baby but with my healing as well. We are so grateful for her expertise in lactation and caring for baby. We felt so at ease with her in our home and highly recommend her!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am of Caela and all her support as a night Doula for our family. Caela was super knowledgeable, kind, and gentle regarding everything with our newborn and my postpartum recovery. As a first time mom with limited support, Caela was an essential resource and such a great energy to have in our home during those first few vulnerable weeks. I learnt so much from her and will forever be grateful for her help during those tough weeks.

Caela was wonderful to work with—from start to finish. She's professional, compassionate, reliable, and knowledgable. We were on the fence about investing in doula services, but so glad we did. The moment I met Caela I felt immediately at ease. She would be a wonderful addition to any family seeking postpartum/night doula care.
