Niyauna is the perfect match for any family in need of a Doula. She's supportive, she's kind, she passes no judgement on anyone. Best of all, she's a miracle worker with children. She doesn't simply have work ethic; she has a natural ability, a talent, a gift. She knows how to nurture a child in those early stages of life. Niyauna has a very good educational and vocational background, but her personal background is what sets her apart. She was born to do this work. Pick her. You will not be disappointed.

We are so happy with our experience with Niyauna. She cared for our child during the night a couple of nights a week for our family for a month and a half. Prior to becoming our doula, Niyauna was so gracious in answering all of our questions and explaining her philosophy as a post-birth doula. We had used a different night-nanny company with a previous child and a major drawback for us was that a different employee would show up each time. This meant that there was no familiarity with our baby, our home, or our preferences. With Niyauna, she became an extended part of the family and a crucial member of our "village." She communicated with us in the morning after about how the night went and was a much-needed sounding board for my wife and me. In summary, I cannot recommend Niyauna highly enough. We will miss her but are happy knowing that she can continue positively impacting other families. Mark H.

We loved working with Niyuana so much. She was so sweet with our baby, very communicative, and very knowledgeable about infant care. The bonus was that she's a nurse and is familiar with any care needed for your baby. I wish we could have continued to use her long term but our baby started sleeping more steadily. She was an integral part to us regulating postpartum and getting more sleep when our newborn son was waking up every hour due to reflux. We loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone needing a newborn care doula!

I had been struggling with sleep for myself since my baby was born. I was lucky enough to get in touch with Niyauna and the next night she was at my doorstep. When I woke up the next morning after Niyauana watched my son, I literally smiled. I had not felt this good in so long - crazy what a good night of sleep will do for you. My anxiety about the next nightime feeding was gone because I knew she was there. You could tell she genuinely cared about my family and wellbeing. I was a little embarrased to admit that myself that we needed help but we will be forever grateful to have had Niyauna. She got us through a difficult time and we miss her already!

We loved working with Niyauna before, during, and after having our baby. She provided us with resources to prepare for birth and was there for our entire birth which included a hospital transfer. She was a constant presence when many other things were changing over the course of labor. She also stayed with us for a few hours after birth to ensure we were settling in as a family. Niyauna helped us talk though and process our birth story a few weeks later as well.
