“We are so grateful for the 5 weeks that Tina was with us after our second daughter was born. I’m 12 weeks postpartum now and miss her dearly! Her help was indispensable at such a vulnerable time. Tina has a magical way of noticing all the little things that need doing and getting them done without you even knowing. Laundry, dishes, sweeping, tidying up the house would all get done while I was able to rest and snuggle our new baby and take care of myself. She always made sure we were all fed and kept our older daughter entertained. She is amazing. I highly, highly recommended her services!”
“A doula is the best investment you can make as you prepare for your baby. Tina was a Godsend from my first moments home with my first baby. She gently took charge, started to unpack, and gave us some much needed direction. She was invaluable supporting me through the first trip to the pediatrician, guiding me through so many other milestones, and allowing me to shower and nap! She was a patient sounding board for so many questions. Tina is personable, reliable, and communicative and obviously loves what she does. I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so!”
“Tina was my postpartum doula in May 2018 with my 4th baby while my husband was deployed. I hadn't know about a postpartum doula until then and I am thankful for her services. She is very caring and attentive and worked with me even though I wasn't sure where and how to ask for help. Honestly, I wish I would have used her more frequently during those first few weeks. She has since become a wonderful friend! What a great idea for a baby shower gift!”

“From our twins in VA to when we were long distance. She’s helped me through so much. She’s got advice and a lot of love for what she does”
“I honestly don’t know where to start because working with Tina was a complete dream. Tina has been there for me and my fiancé from the moment we found out we were having Brody to this very day and Brody is almost 2 years old.I don’t think I could’ve gone through my delivery with out her and when we have the next baby Tina will be there to coach me through. I had an elective induction at 39 weeks due to time because I was in school at the time. The weeks leading up to my induction Tina helped me prepare so things would be as easy as possible. The night I went in to be induced Tina took me to the hospital and was there until Brody was born. I seriously can’t thank her for all that she did. I remember it was almost time to push I only had 2 cm left to dilate but things just came to a stop for about 4 hours. I was in the worst pain of my life and super exhausted, I couldn’t keep my eyes open in between contractions but Tina would help me work through the contractions. When it was finally time for me to push, she was an amazing couch through the whole thing. It took me about 45 minutes to push Brody out, that was probably the longest 45 minutes of my life. All in all my labor was 11 hours and I couldn’t have asked for someone any better to be there.The days after my labor, Tina would come visit me while my fiancé was at work and help me get acclimated to mommy life. She cooked, cleaned, and even let me sleep. Seriously she’s an angel!!I would do it all over again a 100 times as long as I had Tina!!On a side note I’ve know Tina since I was 9 years old and I’m now 27 and she’s always been super caring and motherly as long as I’ve known her.”
“I hired Tina as my post-partum doula with the birth of my third child. I already had a 5 year old and an 18 month old at home and was scheduled for a planned C-section. Tina was an incredible help and support not only to me, but to my other children and my household in general. She jumped right in! My first day home from the hospital, she helped my husband set up our "baby/momma station" in the living room and in the bedroom so we would have diapers, extra clothes, etc etc right where we needed it. Because of my surgery, I couldn't drive for a bit and she would even run an occasional errand when I ran out of nursing pads, etc. She came with me to pick the kids up from preschool so I didn't have to lift my heavy toddler and get him in his car seat. She made a meal for us on our first night home. I could go on and on. One of my favorite things - she always made sure I had a glass of ice water. It's an easy thing to forget in that stage of motherhood, but it is so important. I never had to ask :) Tina took such great care of me. I am so grateful for her and definitely recommend her services to anyone. I look forward to the day that post-partum doulas are covered by insurance - everyone should be able to take advantage of this kind of support!”

“Tina was my postpartum doula after my second child was born. I constantly say that I made 3 really great decisions during my pregnancy with our second born: taking 2 full months off work, prepping a ton of freezer meals for the crock pot, and hiring a postpartum doula! For our baby shower, we asked people to contribute to our postpartum doula fund. Everyone was supportive and we didn’t have to pay much out of pocket! Tina was always on time and learned the vibe of our household very quickly. I was in great need of emotional support during the weeks that she was here, and I also needed her help with the baby so I could focus on my toddler and give him some much needed attention. Even though our time together ended in August, Tina still finds time to check in with me. I highly recommend Tina!!!!”
“Tina is not only a supportive friend, she is a passionate postpartum doula. She drove 3 hours to spend part of a weekend with me after my family stopped visiting to “help” and see the new baby. She was there for anything that I needed but I mainly used her to hold my son so I could interact with the others in the household and sleep. She gave me space when it was time to nurse and have continued bonding time with my son. My only complaint is that she didn’t stay longer!”
“Christina was such an amazing support person and friend after I gave birth in July 2019 as a surrogate mother. Even though I wasn’t bringing a baby home with me, I still wanted to ensure I had support postpartum. She came to visit me at the hospital 2 days postpartum and sat and talked with me for a couple hours. Within the first 2 weeks postpartum she came into my home a few times to help with anything I needed as I tried to stay in bed and rest. She did laundry, dishes, and helped prepare meals for my kids and I. Just having her present and an adult to listen to me and chat was so important during this time of physical and emotional healing for me. She also gave me advice and verbal encouragement as I pumped breast milk for the surrogate baby. I highly recommend her services!! 💛”
“Tina was an amazing help after my csection. I didn’t even have to ask for her to do things, she just did them. If I did ask, they were done instantly from cooking dinner, to laundry, to lifting my 18 month old, to holding the baby... Such a relief to have help.”
“As a birth doula, I send all of my clients who are looking for postpartum support to Tina! She is so knowledgeable and passionate about new families. If my family is blessed with another baby she will without a doubt be my postpartum doula!”
“Tina is a wonderful post partum doula. She is kind and caring, and has extensive experience dealing with both older children and infants. She also provides a lot of support to recovering new moms and knowledge to help them bond with their baby. Also she is a great resource to help identify and resolve problems such as feeding issues. She helped identify bottles that actuall worked with my son and noticed his slight tongue tie issue. Highly recommend Tina if you are looking for post partum support.”
