Tessa is an excellent doula! She helped us so much over four sessions with our baby. She was extremely knowledable about infant and postpartum topics and made many helpful recommendations. She had a great presence with our baby and we were thankful to be able have her care for our baby while we took a quick break. She shared a lot of product recommendations and helped us navigate competing advice from various sources in our life. Come prepared with your list of questions for her and she will whiz through it in no time. Definitely recommend!
