TESTIMONIALS

If you are considering hiring Lina - don't hesitate - she is the best! Lina is the sweetest, kindest, most loving doula and we were so lucky to work with her during the first chapter of our son's life. After our interview, we immediately knew she was the right person. She is highly experienced, and has a gift for connecting with people and babies.
This was our second child, but our first time with a night doula, so we weren't sure what to expect. When we first started, Lina extremely helpful provided lactation consulting to ensure I was properly feeding the baby, and helped to establish a nursing and pumping schedule. After a couple of weeks we fell into a great rhythm, and I was able to get significantly more sleep than I would have had otherwise. She sent us nightly updates about what happened with the baby, washed all the bottles and pumping gear, and helped me to freeze and organize the milk I was storing.
Around my birthday she suggested that we go take a few hours to go out to dinner, and she came in a bit early to babysit while we went out, which was so nice of her. There was also a period of time when the baby got a little sick, and Lina helped out by making really useful suggestions for products to treat him that I would have otherwise not considered.
I am so grateful for the time we had together and a little sad, too, that it is over. We are so lucky to have had Lina in our lives! With her support, our baby got amazing care, and I got more sleep, had better mental health, and a higher milk supply than I would have otherwise. Thank you Lina!

Lina worked with our family for four nights and was exactly what we needed during those challenging early days with our newborn.
Lina demonstrated exceptional skill in sleep regulation and establishing healthy routines for our baby. She expertly managed the nightly feedings, allowing us to get the rest we desperately needed while ensuring our baby was well-cared for throughout the night. Her approach to getting our baby on a consistent schedule was gentle and effective, and we saw noticeable improvements in our baby's sleep patterns even after just a few nights.
Lina also helped us out in many other ways - she took care of washing bottles and folding laundry, and even handled delicate tasks like trimming our baby's nails - small but important details that made a huge difference in our daily lives. Her attention to these practical needs showed her understanding that supporting new parents means addressing all aspects of newborn care.
Even though our arrangement was brief, her teachings are continuing to benefit us. Highly recommend!

We hired Lina as our night doula for our first born - one of the best decisions we've made! Lina is caring, loving, very knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to! She was able to help get us on a schedule so our little one would sleep through the night (which allowed us to get so much needed rest) and helped with baby chores as well. If you're looking for support with your newborn, Lina is the best!!

Lina was the night doula for our first born son, caring for him for the first ten weeks of his life. Extremely knowledgeable as a lactation consultant, Lina helped us figure out the feeding and pumping routine that's best for the baby and for the parents. She has provided invaluable support and guidance teaching us first time parents how to care for the baby, recognize various cues and respond to them.
Lina is keenly observant, and she was quick to both bring up important points to our attention (e.g. when to increase the tummy time duration to help muscle development) and tell us when not to worry because things are as they should be.
The best part about Lina's approach is that she takes loving care of both the baby and parents, offering her expertise, empathy and reliability to help strengthen new families during one of the most important phases. Me and my husband are forever grateful to Lina, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional doula.

Lina was a fantastic doula! She is an expert in breastfeeding and infant care and her depth of experience shows. She is also extremely kind and patient and has great intuition. She has a very comforting presence and is a joy to be around. She communicates well and is highly reliable. I had worked with other doulas in the past, and she is by far the best in what she does. Our whole family grew close to her in the the month that she was with us, and we were so sad to see her go. She has my highest recommendation and I am happy to speak more with anyone who is considering her as a doula. She is truly amazing!

Lina provided invaluable support to our family. She assisted with breastfeeding (as a lactation consultant), helped with my pumping, taught us baby care tasks like bathing and nail cutting, guided us on tummy time, and provided some scheduling advice, also helped us with baby laundry. As first-time parents, these were all incredibly helpful.

I can't say enough about our experience with Lina. She was so incredible to have and taught us so much as first time parents. She treated our baby like her own and adapted to our family from the first day. We loved her so much that we added on a night per week and extended another week. We would honestly have loved to extend even longer, but she had another family lined up after us. She is patient, loving, caring, bright and has a calming demeanor that really makes you feel at ease. She is super knowledagble and helped guide our routines and helped me with breast feeding (she is also certified in lactation). I could get rest knowing that my baby was in such good hands. I couldn't recommend Lina more. We already miss her!
