Testimonials

We loved having Mayra present as my doula through the pregnancy, birth, and post partum period of our first child. She gave us a lot of piece of mind with her great advice leading up to birth, and brought us a lot of comfort and help during my medicated vaginal hospital delivery. After the birth, she made herself available to help me with nursing, bottle refusal, and sleep problems even after our daughter was several months old. Can’t recommend her enough!
