We absolutely loved working with Cloe. She is super knowledgeable & extremely approachable. We felt super supported at every stage of this journey and better equipped to handle labor and postpartum with Cloe's help. There were courses and classes we took to prep but ultimately nothing compared to what we learned from Cloe. Thank you for supporting us!!

I would recommend Cloe to anyone! She is reliable, knowledagble, kind, thoughtful and fun to be with. Everything you can hope for in a doula! She supported me and my husband for both of our daughters, and helped us feel at easy before and during delivery.

Cloe worked with us as an overnight doula for the first 9 weeks after our son was born. She was absolutely amazing with our son and was so helpful with everything from breastfeeding, introducing a bottle, all things baby sleep, baby care guidance / suggestions, and generally being a wonderful person to hang out with at 2 am. In addition to being incredibly experienced and professional, I could tell she loved hanging out with and learning the quirks of our baby just as much as we did. She was critical both to our sanity but also in teaching us how to be parents, and for that we are forever grateful!

We couldn't have asked for a better fit for helping us for the first six weeks home with our little guy, Altan, than Cloe. She took great care of Altan, never pushed any specific parenting technique over another, and was thorough and patient in answering any and all of our questions (baby-related, mom-related, parent-related, all of them). We trust Cloe implicitely with Altan and if we need a doula at any point in the future, she will be our first call. Highest of recommendations!

Cloe worked as an overnight doula with our newborn son until he was four months old. There aren't enough words to describe how helpful, nurturing, gentle and kind she is. Cloe has been such a reassuring presence in our lives, with amazing advice on everything from sleep to swaddling, regressions and more. As a mother herself, we were confident knowing our son was in her experienced care so we were able to get a good nights sleep. Our baby has a heart condition, and I know that he was always safe in Cloe's arms. I highly recommend Cloe to anyone who needs an overnight doula, I wish she could stay with us forever!

Cloe was so wonderful to work with. She joined us for our child's birth where she helped us navigate decision points, helped with pressure points / massage, and made sure I was as comfortable as possible through delivery. We also hired her for postpartum nights which was extremely helpful through the sleep deprivation. She was the only person I trusted our baby with other than myself and partner for the first 2 months of life. She gave us tips for bath time, baby wearing, feeding, and sleep. In the mornings she told us everything that happened overnight, how many ounces our baby ate, etc. Being able to take a break and sleep knowing my baby was happy in competent hands was invaluable - I highly recommend working with Cloe!!

As a first-time dad, having Cloe as our doula was a true blessing. She was incredibly calming and supportive during what was a hectic day. Knowing she was on our side, keeping an eye on everything, made a world of difference. When my wife’s epidural wasn’t working as expected, Cloe noticed right away and ensured it was re-done, which was absolutely invaluable. Her presence brought us both peace of mind, and I hope we remain friends. Without a doubt, we’ll be calling on her again for any future babies

If you're looking for a caring, knowledgable, calm, reassuring, nonjudgmental, professional and proactive doula, then look no further: Cloe is top notch.
She consulted me on the baby registry (like ordering the right bottles), how to handle all types of birth outcomes (unmedicated or c-section) and how to get organized postpartum (prepping bottles and pumping/breastfeeding). Having her for 5 overnights over 3 weeks after the birth was vital to my sanity. And if Cloe wasn't with me at labor and delivery, then I would not have known that my epidural was inserted incorrectly. She advocated for me while I was writhing in pain from contractions and got them to redo it.
On top of all that, she's great to chat with to remind you you're a human (and not just a sleep-deprived blob).
Can't recommend her enough!

Cloe was amazing. We had her for 15 weeks. She was always on time, attentive, and caring. Without reservations I recommend her as a night doula.

Cloe has made the early months of my postpartum life (with both of my children now!) so much easier and more manageable. She is truly so passionate about her work while also being incredibly relaxed, non-judgmental and funny throughout. I chose Cloe originally because she seemed laid back and I wanted someone I felt comfortable having around in the vulnerable postpartum months and I'm so glad I followed my instincts in choosing her. We asked her back with my second and upped the amount of nights we used her because our experience was that good. She truly became a friend and a part of the family during our time with her and I will miss having her around so much. She is so respectful of your choices as a mom and can always relate as a mom herself. I am so in awe of the schedule she keeps and so thankful for her passion and care. In short -- Cloe rules!!

Cloe is absolutely amazing. She was our post partum overnight doula for about a month after I gave birth. She's extremely knowledgeable and warm. She took all of our worries seriously without ever being an alarmist and kept us calm during such a vulernable time: we were at ease the days we knew Cloe was coming in the evening. I had to be induced at 37 weeks due to growth restriction and my daugher was very small (~4.5lb) when we brought her home. Feeding her was so important and I couldn't have gotten through breastfeeding without Cloe's support. She's also such a great, kind person to be around and talk to which is especially important when you're sleep deprived and overwhwelmed. She always offered her guidance and never made us feel judged for any decisions we made. We felt comfortable around her immediately and she treated our daughter Leila with so much love and care. We can't recommend her enough!

As soon as I found out I was pregnant I knew I'd need to find a labor/ delivery and postpartum doula. My husband and I began our search and found Cloe's profile that noted her years of experience. During our initial interview with Cloe we immediately knew she was a perfect fit for us. I had so many fears surrounding childbirth and knew I wanted someone I trusted in my corner. Towards the end of my third trimester I was pressured into scheduling an induction, Cloe was so helpful in explaining the possible pros and cons and helping me make an informed decision. Cloe helped me feel confident in my choice to push a possible induction to 41 weeks (as opposed to 40 weeks which mt doctor was pushing for). I fortunately went into labor naturally before then and during my labor Cloe was an incredible resource for me as well as an advocate. Cloe provided so much information in language we could understand and made me feel so supported and comfortable during a very difficult labor. Cloe also helped me advocate for myself to the doctors at the hospital when I was having issues with my epidural and gave me the confidence to trust my own instincts. Following the birth of our daughter Cloe was with us as our postpartum doula, spending three nights a week with us for the first 6 weeks. Cloe also provided daytime support when my husband returned to working, giving me such a necessary reprieve. Cloe felt like a member of our family, spending time with us when arriving to our house and answering all of our questions regarding our newborn. She gave us a much needed break and treated our baby with so much love and care and provided me with so much emotional support. Cloe was a friend and an incredible resource during such a massive life transition. I would recommend Cloe to anyone and everyone, I can't imagine having gone through this experience without her.

We had the pleasure of working with Cloe as an overnight doula after the birth of our first child. Her expertise in early childhood development and as a lactation consultant were invaluable in helping us adjust to parenthood and get feeding off to a good start. She had tons of helpful tips and tricks for now and the future and is an incredible resource and fount of information. She gave us a great understanding of the different changes and transitions happening in those early weeks for our child and what to expect going forward. She was very flexible in her timing, schedule, and approach and brought only encouragement and care around our choices. Her calm and friendly demeanor was exactly what we needed amidst the chaos of first time parenthood and was was amazing with our son. She just seemed to understand him and what he needed on a deep level and helped us understand him too! We feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with her and would strongly recommend Cloe to anyone looking for overnight doula support!

Cloe was all around wonderful. Helped so much at my birth advocating for me when I literally couldn't. Then afterwards for the first few weeks at home with my baby she was so helpful. The only reason I was able to establish a solid breastfeeding relationship was because of her help and we got to have a few nights of uninterrupted sleep which was amazing for our mental health. 10/10 would recommend.

With my first birth being a scheduled Cesarean due to my baby being breech, I had no idea what to expect for a VBAC. Cloe made the process easy and relieved my anxiety.
Cloe has a very calming demeanor which put me at ease, she was easy to talk to and I felt comfortable asking her anything. When I went into labor, Cloe arrived at the hospital before me and helped me check in during contractions. She helped set up the room with my oil diffuser and made sure I had an exercise and peanut ball in the room. When the staff started pushing an epidural early in the process, she advocated for me, and made sure they knew I would let them know if and when I wanted one. Cloe helped me get through each contraction using pressure points and talking me through each one. My husband had to stay with our toddler until the sitter could take over, so it was just me and Cloe. Cloe kept my husband informed so he knew when the best time to come.
After the baby was born she snapped some perfect pictures so we could remember the moment. We also had Cloe come for a few postpartum visits, which was helpful when my husband had to go on a work trip and also gave me time with just my toddler in those first big transitional weeks. Having someone to talk to after the birth was great. I highly recommend Cloe and would 100% use her again for my next birth.

We had a wonderful experience with Cloe. The meetings beforehand, along with Cloe's presence during the labor allowed us to feel assured and calm for the labor process. Her knowledge around pregnancy and infants has been so helpful for all of the questions we've had along the way. She has consistently been generous to share what she knows and encouraged us to text with questions whenever needed.

Cloe's expertise and compassionate care made all the difference during the challenging early stages of parenthood. Her insights into newborn care and her ability to navigate the intricacies of those initial weeks helped us navigate the uncertainties of being first-time parents
The overnight visits with Cloe were a lifesaver and gave us the chance to catch some much-needed rest. Cloe's approach was gentle and reassuring, making those nights a bit more manageable.
We highly recommend Cloe to any new parents seeking a doula to naviagte the post partum journey. Her dedication, knowledge, and genuine care create a much-needed support system. Thank you, Cloe, for being an integral part of our journey into new parenthood and for making those early days a bit more manageable.

We truly enjoyed our time with Chloe! She was very helpful with our daughter in the first few weeks postpartum and also provided me with a plethora of advice/tips on breast and bottle feeding. We miss her already and will definitely use her again if we have a third child!

Cloe was with us for the birth of our first child as well as for overnight visits postpartum. She was a perfect fit for our transition to parenthood and provided excellent care for our son! Cloe is an incredible doula. She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and reliable.
In our in-home prenatal vists, she provided very helpful guidance on what to expect and how to prepare for the birth. She was with us in the hospital with us during the entire induction (over 30 hours) providing information and offering gentle advice. During the overnight visits over two months, she provided excellent care for my son and I, as well as answers to many questions about babies, nursing, and child development etc. My son was always content and calm with Cloe around. We are so happy that we found Cloe and that she was able to spend so much time with us!
We could not ask for a better doula and would recommend her to anyone!

Cloe is an amazing doula!! She worked with our family right when we came home from the hospital with our first child. She was so understanding, supportive, and knowledgeable! We felt instantly at ease with her, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for overnight, or daytime support for both parents and babies!

We worked with Cloe as both a birth and postpartum night doula during and after the birth of our first child. I had a very successful labor and attribute much of that to Cloe's knowledge, compassion, and advocacy. She worked extremely well with my OB and the hospital nursing staff, and I felt so supported.
When we got home from the hospital, it was an immense comfort knowing that Cloe would be there to help us through our first night, and many of the nights that followed. Thanks to her guidance, I have also had a smooth breastfeeding experience.
My husband and I would strongly recommend Cloe to any expecting person, and, while I am sure that Cloe would be fabulous in any situation, I would particularly refer her to those hoping to have the support of a doula while also seeking a hospital birth.

Our experience with Cloe was perfect. She was a perfect fit for us -- laid back, trustworthy, knowledgable, and non-judgemental. She had great advice but never pushed us, just presented her knowledge in a relaxed and easy way. It was so nice to get some genuine sleep in the first couple of months of our son's life (a rare commodity with a newborn) and we are already sad that our time with her is over. It can be stressful finding someone you trust to have around in the delicate postpartum time but she is the perfect person to have in your home at that vulnerable time. We felt so comfortable having her around and will miss her.
I would recommend her to any new parents! We used her nighttime services but would have been thrilled to have her during the day too and though we didn't have a birth doula but we definitely would use Cloe for that in the future too! Cannot praise her enough.

Having cloe as a daytime postpartum doula was a great experience. As a first time mom I honestly didn't know what to expect. Cloe was helpful in so many ways! She made the best and tastiest oatmeal, she prepared meals for us, helped with our laundry, took care of my baby while I showered or organized things at home. The one thing I appreciated the most was having her company and being able to talk about various things related to parenting. She made me feel comfortable even when my house was a total mess. I would definitely recommend Cloe to anyone who may need a helping hand during those first few weeks postpartum.

As first time parents, my husband and I quickly realized that no book or class could prepare us for the actual birth experience. We had close friends suggest working with a birth doula and after speaking with Cloe, we knew that we made the right choice for our family. Right off the bat, Cloe made us feel at ease and supported. She is a wonderful listener and answered all of our endless questions. She taught us various comfort measures we could take at home to help with labor and was there in the delivery room to offer the same level of support. She was my advocate in the delivery room and she made sure that I was comfortable and taken care of at every moment. Her guidance and support in the delivery room was everything we needed and more, we are so grateful that she was there for our special day. And it didn't stop there, she was also there to support us postpartum. Checking in on us via text and with postpartum visits, she was there to answer all questions newborn related! When we were feeling most alone and lost, she was just a text away. She was the perfect doula for our journey and we could not recommend her enough!

We worked with Cloe for overnight support for the first 6 weeks of our daughters birth in tandem with another night doula. We can’t say enough great things! Cloe was always on time, easy with scheduling, prioritized our sleep and rest, and gave us wonderful advice on how to handle an infant. She shared tips on everything from gas, to wake windows, to latching. Literally a walking baby encyclopedia! We are so grateful for her help and will be reaching out for our next baby!

Cloe was a pleasure to work with and absolutely fantastic with our newborn daughter. She was incredibly helpful and patient as she coached us and answered all of our questions through the early days of being new parents. Looking back, her support was an important and necessary part of our postpartum journey.
