What Our Clients Are Saying

  • Smiling person wearing glasses with curly hair and casual attire in an indoor setting.

    Mia was IMMENSELY helpful after the birth of my second daughter. My second daughter was born just 22 months after my first, so I had 2 kids under 2 for the first few months. I also had a second c-section so I had limited ability to lift and significant pain for the first few weeks.

  • A person sitting at a white table, smiling while using a laptop. They are holding a cube puzzle and surrounded by notebooks, a calculator, and decorative items on shelves in the background.

    I hired Mia after my 2nd birth. She is just amazing- such a ray of sunshine and aura of calm! She is studying therapy, hence she is very non-judgmental and very supportive on all topics.

  • A woman smiling in front of greenery.

    Mia came highly recommended by our birth doula. I didn’t have any family come help so Mia came in for several visits and truly did everything! She made me meals, brought water and tea, made snacks, did baby laundry, and organized all my baby stuff and things I needed for postpartum.

  • Pregnant woman in a white dress smiling and holding her belly on the beach

    Mia is an excellent postpartum doula. As a first-time mom, she was an incredibly calming and reassuring presence in our home during the first few weeks with our newborn.
