What Our Families Say…

New parents and their newborn receiving postpartum support in their Rhode Island home

From the first phone call I felt such a connection with Stacey and feel so lucky to have found her. Her first day with us was a couple days after being home from the hospital and I quite honestly do not know how my husband and I would’ve survived without having her there to guide us through those first few weeks.” – Lindsay K.

Stacey helped us through some things we hadn’t figured out yet with her years of knowledge and experience and our daughter was both sleeping and eating better after even
the first visit.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Stacey and Stephanie and the support they gave me as a brand-new mom. Having them there during those first few weeks with a newborn was honestly invaluable. They helped with everything! breastfeeding and feeding support, bathing, diaper changes, diaper rashes, cleaning, newborn care, and all of the little questions that come up constantly when you’re trying to figure out a brand new baby. It really felt so reassuring to have their support without ever making me feel overwhelmed or like I should already know what I was doing. They were both so knowledgeable, reassuring, and supportive, and having that guidance made such a difference for me. More than anything, Stacey and Stephanie helped me feel more confident in my role as a mother. Instead of constantly wondering if I was doing things right, I felt like I had people I trusted who I could ask questions, learn from, and lean on. I’m so grateful I had their support during such a new and important time in my life. I would recommend their doula care to any new mom, especially a first-time mom. 🤍

Investing in postpartum support was truly one of the best decisions we made as we prepared to welcome our first child. Knowing Stacey and her team would be there to guide us through those first days gave us so much comfort and confidence. Every question was met with thoughtful, compassionate, evidence-based support. Her calm presence and expertise allowed us to focus on resting, healing, and bonding with our daughter rather than worrying about everything else. Stacey is a true expert in baby care. It was so helpful doing our baby’s first bath with her, learning wake window activities, and discussing how to establish a strong sleep foundation. Having Stacey as a resource truly put our mind at ease and stopped the late night parent spirals. The cherry-on-top were the delicious meals she prepared for us to keep us nourished! Most importantly, Stacey never felt like a stranger in our home. She made us feel so comfortable, cared for, and understood, and quickly became someone who felt like family. We are incredibly grateful for her support and cannot recommend her highly enough to any new parent!

Hiring Stacey was the best proactive decision we made before the birth of our first baby. She is not only a consummate professional with a talent for setting up the systems and routines needed to make the immediate postpartum period run as smoothly as it can, but a deeply compassionate person who goes above and beyond to help make sense of the often complicated and high emotions of that magical-but-exhausting time. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We are so grateful for Stacey’s help. Our baby went from waking 7 times a night to sleeping through the night much faster than we ever expected. What stood out most was how personalized her approach was. Her recommendations were evidence based, but always tailored to our family’s needs and comfort level. As nervous first time parents, having Stacey check in with us nightly and help troubleshoot in real time made all the difference. We trusted her completely after working with her as our postpartum doula, and hiring her as our sleep consultant was one of the best decisions we made. Highly recommend!

I used Stacey to care for my newborn baby when I was visiting Newport for a destination wedding. As a first time mom finding childcare in an unfamiliar setting seemed daunting and nerve wracking. I came across Stacey’s name on Facebook and I couldn’t be more thankful. She instantly made me feel comfortable and made the entire process so seamless. She immediately connected with my baby, made him feel calm in a somewhat chaotic atmosphere, and was so kind to everyone she encountered at the event. I can’t recommend her services enough to other moms in a similar situation.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Stacey and the support she provided me during the first several months of my postpartum journey. Her care went so far beyond what I ever expected and made such a meaningful difference during a time that can feel (and was) overwhelming. She was always willing to jump in and help with baby-related tasks, whether it was folding baby laundry, prepping and making my lactation protein balls, or taking little things off my plate so I could focus on recovering and caring for my son. Those acts of service were invaluable and made me feel so supported. Beyond the practical help, she was an incredible source of knowledge and reassurance. As my baby reached new developmental milestones, she offered thoughtful guidance on age-appropriate toys, play ideas, and activities to encourage his growth and development. Her recommendations were always evidence-based, intentional, and tailored to his stage. Most importantly, she gave me confidence as a new mom. I always felt like I had someone in my corner to answer questions, provide encouragement, and remind me that I was doing a great job. Stacey has such a warm, professional yet personable personality I immediately felt comfortable having her in my home taking care of my newborn! If my son became fussy and needed me, she would immediately offer other tasks she could do to help while I nursed him, etc. If you’re considering postpartum doula support, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She brought kindness, expertise, and genuine care into our home, and I’m so grateful she was part of our family’s journey.

As first-time parents without family nearby and with no prior experience caring for babies, Stacey helped us not only survive but also enjoy the fourth trimester with our newborn. Her in-home Newborn 101 class gave us confidence going into the birth, and once our baby arrived, having Stacey there to guide us through new activities, like bath time, play time, and tummy time, was invaluable. We always looked forward to the days Stacey came because they gave us a chance to relax, ask questions, and catch up on much-needed sleep. Stacey provided thoughtful, evidence-based guidance, which saved us from trying to sort through the overwhelming and often conflicting advice out there while already exhausted as new parents. Her excellent organizational skills set us up for success in handling all of the new items and systems we needed to put into place for bottles, diapers, and laundry when we did not have the mental bandwidth to handle this. We would absolutely hire Stacey again and recommend her to any family expecting a baby.

As first-time parents, hiring Stacey as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first interview, Stacey immediately put us at ease and helped us feel confident stepping into our new roles as mom and dad. Her calm, caring, and reassuring presence made such a difference during those first few weeks and made everything feel a little less overwhelming. Stacey was amazing with our daughter and helped us navigate so many firsts — from swaddling and baby-wearing to soothing and giving our daughter her very first bath — always offering practical tips, resources, reassurance, and encouragement. Beyond that, she helped us in countless other ways like in organizing our nursery, setting up our baby supplies, making sure we were fed, including cooking some delicious meals for us and even picking up pre-ordered groceries on occasion. The care she provided made our days feel lighter, easier, and far more rested, which is everything with a newborn. What meant the most to both of us were the conversations and support she gave during a very emotional time. Stacey always listened with kindness and understanding, and as new parents, having someone there to reassure us and help us navigate the transition into parenthood was invaluable. We are so grateful for the care and support Stacey gave our family, and we truly couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Asking Stacey to help us was the best decision my husband and I made postpartum! We were amazed every time she walked through the door that she came to help in ways large and small, and did not stop until she left. She gave us the confidence and SO many helpful tricks and tips for our son, and is a calming font of knowledge on ALL things! We can't imagine what the first few months would have been like without Stacey, but are so grateful for her calm and lovely presence!

Having Stacey as part of my pregnancy care team made a tremendous difference in my postpartum experience. As a first-time mom with immediate family out of state, my husband and I felt incredibly supported by her - especially when our son arrived early during the busy holiday season. Stacey’s invaluable support began even before our son’s birth. Through her Newborn 101 class, she equipped us with essential knowledge to care for our baby and offered thoughtful recommendations for our registry, helping us feel confident and prepared. After our son was born, each of Stacey’s visits to our home was truly invaluable. Whether she was assisting with newborn care, helping with household tasks, giving us time to rest, or sharing helpful tips and resources, her presence made a meaningful difference during those early weeks. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stacey to any expecting parents!
