Comments from our clients

I tried to talk Betsy into being my nanny, she's so fabulous.  [When she visited] It was the only time I got two solid hours of sleep!" — AT

Oohh boy! Carol walked in the door, took Bently from my arms in full-throated wail, and suggested I might want to step out into the sun for a few moments!  I think Casey and I were close to the edge when she came into our lives.   We learned to relax with our baby, take things a little less seriously, and look for a little sunshine in every day." —Zabette, Casey & Ben

When the time after bringing our baby home was so unpredictable and out of control, it was wonderful knowing someone so skilled was by our side to assist me and my husband  —RA


Comments from our clients experiencing Postpartum Depression

Doulas are walking-talking-breathing acts of kindness. They create sanity, spontaneously and magically, and for all mothers (and fathers) who need support, this is more precious than gold. —LS

At 5:00 a.m. my angel (postpartum doula) would walk in the door and my crippling anxiety would begin to fade. . . —JD


As postpartum doulas (women caregivers), our goal is to provide new mothers and babies with the comfort, guidance, and one-to-one attention so necessary for a smooth transition from pregnancy and birth to parenthood.

Betsy Stunz Hall, Carol Arnold and Carolyn Matthiasson are Certified Postpartum Doulas and Breastfeeding Counselors with special training in addressing postpartum depression and mood disorders.

We are passionate about our work, end up "over-the-moon" about every baby, usually want to adopt each new mom, and miss the families when we successfully work ourselves out of a job.  After long and successful careers in other interesting fields and raising our own families, we have found renewed joy  as doulas.
