Testimonials

  • “Madison helped our family with overnight doula care for the first 6 weeks of my son’s life.  I have an autoimmune disease that impacted me greatly postpartum, so I wanted to make sure that whoever was in our space at this time was empathetic, caring, and could help relieve some of the stress of postpartum life. Madison couldn’t have been a better choice.  She was as invested in my health as my own family was. She taught me so much about breastfeeding and newborn care, and she did so in a way that made me feel so confident that I could handle it all. She has such a calming nature to her, and the vibe in our apartment got instantly lighter and happier every night when she’d arrive. She had a natural ability to settle our baby and understand his cues so that I could give him what he needs, and I felt so safe getting some sleep knowing Madison was taking care of him.  And the biggest cherry on top was that our dog was absolutely in love with her!!! Having someone come show our dog affection every night when I was dealing with the sadness of not having enough time to do so myself made me incredibly happy. I will absolutely be calling Madison the second I get pregnant with baby #2.”

  • "My wife Helen and I hired Madison earlier this year to help our family with postpartum doula care after our second child was born in February and couldn't be happier with the experience of bringing her into our home. The newborn phase can feel so vulnerable for the entire family and Madison knew exactly how to insert herself to provide support to every member of the family, from cooking and tidying to lactation counseling and sleep strategizing. Our toddler in particular adored Madison and so looked forward to her visits and meals. We would hire Madison again in a heartbeat and refer her wholeheartedly to any family in New York looking for someone to provide holistic care after the arrival of a new child. "

  • "Madison's presence and cooking immediately postpartum, was the best care and nourishment I received throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum period. Her awareness of how to nourish my body to support breastfeeding, to heal my body, and to help create an easeful transition, was such a significant blessing for my new motherhood experience. It takes a certain awareness and skill to be able to enter the home of a new Mother, to provide basic, grounded support, during the biggest change of life. Her cooking was absolutely delicious! It was everything I craved, but it left me feeling like my body was being healed. It was medicine, which is what every birthing person deserves after birth! While her cooking was a highlight, her postpartum care included lactation consultation and care with the baby. I was met where I was at, and my perspective was wholly validated. Strongly recommend Madison for all postpartum care needs - you're in good hands."

  • "We were incredibly fortunate to have Madison as our postpartum doula during the arrival of our baby, Harper. Madison's support was nothing short of a lifeline during those early weeks. Madison patiently taught us to use our baby wrap carrier, and let me tell you, that is a game changer!! It made the world of difference for bonding with Harper and being able to have our hands free. Madison brought a calm and reassuring presence and helped us navigate the challenges of early postpartum with ease. We felt much more confident knowing we had Madison’s expertise and care to rely on. One of the most comforting aspects of Madison's care was her nourishing bone broth. It not only tasted wonderful but also helped us regain our strength and vitality during a demanding time. Madison's cooking expertise was a true blessing for our family. Hiring Madison as our postpartum doula went far beyond our expectations, and we definitely recommend her to any new parents in need of compassionate, knowledgeable support during the early days of parenthood."

  • “Madison has been an integral part and steady presence in our Family for the past four years. I trust Madison implicitly, and deeply respect her work ethic and depth of integrity that she brings to our working relationship. She has transitioned smoothly between childcare responsibilities, household management, administrative tasks, and caring for our menagerie of animals–and is highly skilled in showing up for the task at hand with a genuine “can-do” attitude. It is a gift to have met Madison and have her share in our journey of Parenthood. The level of trust we feel with her is such a comfort, and knowing that our children–and animals!-- are cared for, loved, and having a great time is of paramount importance. If I could coin a new term to describe Madison’s work with our Family, it would be “Mom Doula” because Madison wears many hats and with such grace and aplomb. I highly recommend her work and am incredibly proud to see her spread her wings and soar. “

  • "Having Madison as our overnight postpartum doula has been a true blessing. She really helped us make our transition from one kid to two much smoother. Each night she was over, we were more than confident in the care our baby was getting from Madison, which allowed us to focus on getting some much needed rest. Madison showed so much dedication to our family and we can’t sing her praises enough. If you are looking for overnight support, definitely consider adding Madison to your team!”

  • "Madison was recommended to us by our birth doula after we gave birth to our son. My partner and I don't have family that lives near by and as first time parents we realized we needed more support. Madison came into our home and was a calm, confident and soothing presence for all of us. No matter the topic, she had resources and information for us. When she was here for overnights, we never worried about the care our son was receiving from her. I look back on that immediate postpartum time with great fondness, a lot of that has to do with Madison being our postpartum doula!"
