We also offer consultations on how to set up the Nursery. What you will need for the baby’s room and what are the most up to date products on the market for your newborn baby today.

History

Established in 1999.

While working as a Pre-​School Teacher, I was introduced to the world of Doula’s and Baby Nurses through one of the moms that brought her child to the pre-​school. She had just started a small Doula Services Agency and was recruiting girls for her business. I became self-​employed and was contracted out to Postpartum clientele.

After several years I decided to set up a website and leave the agency to work on my own, so that I could offer special rates for my services, without my clients needing to pay an agency fee. I began networking with other Doula’s, Baby Nurses and Newborn Care Specialists. My clients started to refer me to their friends and family, and my business began to grow. It has been 14 wonderful years filled with many beautiful babies and their families.
