One Moon Doula Services

I highly recommend Kathryn if you’re looking for a postpartum doula. She was invaluable to me in helping me with my daughter when she was 2 – 4 months old. I felt comfortable with Kathryn as soon as I met her. She is very easy to talk to and knowledgeable on issues from sleeping and feeding to things like which baby carrier is best and how to find a nanny when our work together was done. And, if she didn’t know something, she’d do the research to find out. I really appreciated how non-​judgmental Kathryn was– whether it was breast/​bottle feeding or sleep training ideas, she shared her opinion but never made me feel like my ideas were wrong and was always open to finding the solution that would work best for me and my daughter. I also loved that Kathryn would take it upon herself to notice all the little details that would make things easier without my having to ask or things I wouldn’t even have thought of that would be helpful– like taking out the garbage, cleaning the coffee maker so it was ready for the next morning, or cleaning the dishes. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Kathryn and we miss her presence in our home!

Our 5 month old twins were a mess when it came to sleeping. Bed time was taking hours and night wakings were very frequent. The loss of sleep and free evening time was really placing stress on us. We contacted Kathryn for help and she was immediately helpful. At our first meeting she was able to assess our needs, our girls, and offer help that met our parenting style.
She was always understanding and non-​judgmental and really seemed to care about all of our well being. After our meeting, Kathryn was able to provide us with a sleep plan to help all of us get healthier sleep and help our daughters learn much needed self-​soothing skills. She fully understood the special needs of twin households and did everything she could to support us.
When we would hit bumps in the road, Kathryn was available via email, text, and phone calls.
It was great having a support system when you are at your wit’s end. Specifically a support that is truly educated and researched on the subject and can help you find health and peace in your home.

One Moon Doula was hands-​down the best pregnancy ‘purchase’ I made. It was truly an investment that has made us better parents — and we have a happier toddler because of it. Several friends said we didn’t ‘need’ postpartum help. And sure, I guess we would have survived without it, but it would have been a much more stressful experience. With Kathryn’s help and support, the first eight weeks were actually quite wondrous — I had a friend to help cook meals, give me advice, helpful suggestions, and also give me a much needed break. Quite honestly, the only time I slept peacefully in those first few weeks was when Kathryn was at our home. She offered a peace of mind that was invaluable during those first few weeks. And she helped me enjoy the experience, rather than just live through it. Also, with her advice and guidance, our newborn was sleeping through the night by 10 weeks old, and when we needed her help when he was bit older and ready for a better sleep schedule, we were able to get him on a predictable pattern after just one consultation. I truly believe that Kathryn’s help made me a much more confident parent and I would highly recommend her services.
