Fugere, Madison

Madison is a gem. From the moment she came into our home, I felt more calm and relaxed. In the early days, she was able to be with the baby while I caught up on sleep. This was a game changer. I was able to fully rest knowing that my baby was being safely cared for. Madison is incredible with kids. Watching her hold and interact with a newborn is magical. During the early postpartum weeks, she was always present; she listened to my thoughts and concerns while offering helpful advice. I recommend Madison to anyone bringing home a newborn, whether it’s your first, second, or fifth! Madison is irreplaceable and I am so thankful for her.

I am so happy and grateful that our family was able to work with Madison for postpartum day & night support with our third baby! Madison was confident, knowledgable and true professional when it came to taking great care of both babies and toddlers. I never worried about leaving my baby or other children with Madison and always knew they were in excellent hands. Her services were well worth every penny and I would highly recommend Madison - we already miss her!

The first few months after birth are a whirlwind. Madison brought calm, knowledge, kindness and humor in so many ways and I could not be more grateful to have had her on my care team. As an educator, I thought I knew a thing or two about kid. I was quickly humbled when my little guy was born with how much I did not know about newborn care. Madison supported us with day shift and night shifts. During the day, I appreciated our conversations where I was able to pose questions, without judgement, and where she demonstrated things such as swaddling, paced bottle feeding, nursery organization and more. Madison is also the reason I maintained a balanced diet - mornings were SO HARD - Madison made sure we had easy to eat meals and a calm space so that we could really focus on our little guy. Madison also supported us with night shifts and is hands down the reason our little guy developed strong sleep habits. My husband and I both felt that the nights shifts were an invaluable reset that allowed us to catch up on precious sleep in the days when our little guy was throwing late night/early morning parties. Madison is an absolute gem; she was, and still is, an incredible resource to me and my husband. I cannot imagine navigating the first few months as a mom without her on my care team. If you are considering working with Madison, BOOK HER NOW (and by now, I mean yesterday!)

Cant say enough good things about Madison. Her support was not only helpful for doing baby-related tasks but she really helped us understand our baby's behavior and progression through his first three months. She keeps up-to-date with the latest best practices, techniques, and products so it was helpful to have her there to answer any of our questions. The impact she has had on our journey is very apparent and we are extremely appreciative to have had her support.

We just finished working with Madison for my third baby. (I miss her already!) I knew as soon as I found out that I was pregnant with my son that I wanted Madison to come help as my postpartum doula and I am so glad we did! I have a hard time asking for help and I can get overwhelmed, especially after giving birth. I was especially thrown off this time when my son decided to make his grand entrance a whole month early! Madison did anything and everything to help and just made my life easier. She would run errands for me, even pick up groceries! She helped me at home, doing simple but helpful things like folding my laundry, running my pump parts through the sterilizer, and meal prepping. She would take the baby and my two older kids outside so I was able to nap or just sit and exist without anyone touching me. Madison was such a life saver and I cannot recommend her enough. Everyone should have a postpartum doula and Madison is just the best!

Madison of Serene Moments provided excellent care and stepped right in. Her support was pivotal to our thriving during the newborn period. She was warm, trustworthy, helpful, professional, and a joy to have around. Thanks to her, we had coaching, support, and were able to get some much needed sleep. I highly recommend (and have recommended her) to anyone who is having or who has just had a baby.

I really struggled with the lack of sleep that comes with having a newborn when we had our son three years ago. When I was pregnant this time around, I knew getting some help at night was going to be a priority. Madison jumped right in after we returned from the hospital and her support was an absolute game changer. Our priorities were to find someone that we could trust to let us tune out a couple times a week and get a deep sleep, and for that person to help us instill, from day one, the foundations of good sleep habits in our daughter. Madison absolutely delivered. At 6 weeks, our daughter was typically waking once a night - something we can attribute to those foundational sleep habits Madison helped instill as we were getting some much needed rest. I highly recommend Madison for postpartum overnight support!

Madison was a Godsend. She has such a comforting way of approaching things and she gave me the type of calmness that I needed during my postpartum journey. I had my baby during winter and had no family around. I always looked forward to seeing Madison and learning from her. She kept me from losing myself by being a new mom. Madison helped me during a difficult recovery from a traumatic labor experience and made me be heard. She was so great with the baby and provided the baby comfort when I wasn’t able to. I don’t think I could have survived the first 12 weeks postpartum without Madison’s guidance, wisdom and calming demeanor. I really don’t think I could have done it without her.

I’m SO grateful to have chosen to work with Madison! We discussed and reviewed different topics I was interested in during our time together. Having someone with many years of supporting family, specifically in postpartum, helped me feel confident. Madison quickly responded to my questions via text and was very transparent about her approach when it comes to supporting families. I highly recommend working with Madison!!

We highly recommend Madison for all your baby needs postpartum. She is the only one i trust with my colicy crying newborn. We were very hesitant to have an overnight doula, esp my husband who loves to snuggle with my newborn all night if he could, but it was the best money we’ve ever spent. Our baby was sleeping 7 hour stretches by the time she was done with us & we would extend our contact in a minute if madison had availability. She books up fast, so definitely get her on the books!! We also had madison for day shifts and she is very confident and literally the only person who can calm my baby. She is a baby whisperer and we’ll miss her!!

Madison was so helpful setting up our doula services! I reached out after having an unexpected appendectomy after having twins and she acted quickly to find a doula who could assist as I recovered. It really took away a lot of stress and anxiety I was feeling as my husband needed to return to work. We are forever grateful!

I would highly recommend Serene Moments LLC to anybody with a newborn baby. Madison was such an incredible help throughout the first 2 months of our baby's life. She was both accommodating and knowledgeable and she helped us get started off on the right foot. She gave us dozens of useful tips, tricks, and best-practices, and she was such a calming presence in an otherwise chaotic time! We are so fortunate to have worked with Madison and we cannot say enough about how incredible and professional she was. She really is a baby-whisperer! Don't hesitate - call Serene Moments now. You'll be glad you did.

After experiencing an unplanned c-section with my first born, I was nervous about welcoming my second. Besides the recovery process, the sleepless nights made postpartum an incredibly lonely journey. I knew I needed help the second time around - enter Madison from Serene Moments. I wasn’t familiar with a doula. All I knew was overnight care equaled more sleep. Madison was so much more than that. Madison took the time to get to know what was important to us and what we wanted from this experience. After each visit, she would send us notes from the night. They included every bottle, diaper change, fussiness, sleep cue, etc. — she really got to know my baby’s personality and shared helpful tips and tricks so that we could seamlessly transition care during the day (she was also available by text during the day in case we had questions or needed advice). Madison not only gave me peace of mind that my baby was safe and cared for, but she also provided us with the tools for future sleep success once her time with us was over. When that time did come, the anxiety that I had with my first born wasn’t as palpable. I knew I was in a good place mentally, emotionally, and physically so I could be more present with my baby and actually enjoy the newborn stage. For that, I can’t thank Madison enough. I would highly recommend Serene Moments to every new mom.

Thank you for all you've provided to our family these past 3 months! You helped us get on our feet as new parents and took such incredible care of our family as a whole to ensure we are off to a good start. Having you support us those first few weeks at night helped us feel comfortable to get some rest and recover. We will miss learning from you and know our little one will miss seeing you each week. For anyone thinking of working with Madison, we can't reccomend her highly enough!

We absolutely loved having Madison as a post-partum doula. She brings an amazingly bright and positive energy and was extremely helpful with things around the house and with our baby. She is very experienced and knowledgeable with babies and gave me so many awesome tips while she was here, like how to swaddle effectively and use my baby wearing gear. Our newborn had his days and nights flipped and she gave us suggestions on things we could do to flip his sleep schedule that were very effective. She was really nice to have around, it felt like having a good friend or sister over and her presence was great while I was going through immediate postpartum. I will be recommending her to any of my friends that are expecting!

Excellent post partum support. There’s so much newborn education we learned that out hospital never taught us (especially as first time parents). Super responsive to all our messages, which was key in alleviating anxieties that would come up. if Madison didn’t have the answer, she was able to refer us to a tried and trusted expert who could help (ie lactation consultant). The night shifts were so important for our mental sanity, and the logs that she kept really helped us learn about our babies sleep and how to improve it (which was especially rough 6-8 weeks, but we are so grateful Madison taught us how to navigate it). Loved the communication and professionalism. Would recommend to anyone needing support through their 4th trimester journey. Raising a newborn really takes a trusted village, and Madison really feels like family in how she approaches things.

Madison was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her calm and caring demeanor made my husband and me so comfortable as first-time parents who needed extra support. She is truly a baby whisperer - we were confident our daughter was cared for during her night shifts and she always gave us a detailed report on how the night went. We cannot recommend her enough!

if you're looking for a amazing post partum doula, Madison is your girl! I hired madison 5 weeks post partum, and it was one of the best decisions i have ever made. Due to me going back to work i needed some help at night time, i was able to rest, without worry, that my sons needs were met. I would wake up to a clean sink and a baby that has been fed and soothed back to sleep for me. She has helped me with everything from breast and bottle feeding to how to just make everyday life eaiser with a newborn. She has also been able to provide me with excellent resources from mom groups to mental health, books to! You can tell Madison genuinely enjoys working with families, i couldn't recommend her more.
