Our team embodies the modern meaning of the ancient Greek word "doula" in every aspect of our care. All team members have been screened and meet the training and certification standards for doulas and lactation consultants. Organizations such as DONA International, Lifespan Doulas, ProDoula, DTI, and the International Doula Institute set these standards.
In addition, the Doulas followed a wide range of other relevant trainings. They may have taken complementary training courses such as Spinning-Babies, Rebozo, Hypnobirthing or specific childbirth and newborn care education. Examples of specific education include The Bradley Method, Lamaze for Childbirth Education, lactation support and pediatric sleep training. Several of us also have experience with vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and tons of other experience. In the overview below you find for each of us a brief overview of the training and experience. We want to keep up with new information about pregnancy, childbirth, and taking care of newborns as it evolves. We care for our clients and prioritize healthcare and birth work in all that we do.
Client reviews and testimonials consistently highlight our exceptional capacity to deliver a tailored and comprehensive spectrum of services. The reviews reflect the high value placed on our commitment to personalized attention and support.
Selected Client Testimonials and Doula Reviews
Gabriella Figueiredo Santos: I had a wonderful experience with Doula Nathalie & Associates during my postpartum period. From my very first call, the owner was incredibly receptive and attentive, promptly connecting me with a fantastic doula ( Aliyah ) who perfectly matched my needs. The communication throughout the process was seamless, and the agency proved to be reliable and professional at every step (November 2024).
Laura Williams: As first-time parents, hiring Eliza as our postpartum doula was the single best decision we made as we adjusted to life with a baby. Eliza has a warm, compassionate, and knowledgeable presence. She helped my husband and I learn baby care tasks, particularly bathing, which had us completely scared as first time parents (October 2024)!
Oluoma Eze:Mikayla supported our family in the postpartum period. She is such a sweet and attentive person who went above and beyond to ensure we were supported where it mattered most. She is proactive and will suggest ways to help like wash bottles, run the sterilizer, fold baby clothes etc. When you’re in the daze of the initial postpartum weeks it’s so comforting to have someone who takes the initiative like this (September 2024).
Jo Stiles: Doula Nathalie & Associates helped connect me with Dina Piccioni, who we worked with for the birth of our first child in July and had such a positive experience! In the months leading up to the birth, Dina was incredibly responsive and supportive. She made time to connect with us anytime we had questions and had great recommendations and resources to help us prepare for the birth (August 2024).
Roxanne Arnon: I hired Dee Dee as my Doula. We had an initial meeting via Zoom and immediately felt very comfortable with her. She is extremely warm and knowledgeable. She was always available through my pregnancy when I had questions and helped guide me towards making decisions when I felt unsure. She also teaches the birth classes that Nathalie offers so you know she knows her stuff (July 2024)!
Sana K.: We had a truly wonderful experience working with Molly, I can't recommend her enough! She was incredibly calm, and gentle with our little one, and a great source of guidance and helpful recommendations for us as first time parents. She helped me navigate that early cluster feeding period with breastfeeding (June 2024).
Philippine de Maere: After a first breech baby born by scheduled C-section, we asked Nathalie to be our doula for our second daughter. During pregnancy, she helped us navigate supportfull providers for a VBAC and had the best advice (spinning babies, chiropractor, acupuncture) to turn the baby head down. Having Nathalie by my side during my induction and labor was extremely precious (May 2024).
