Meet Your ProDoula
Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: Having worked with families for over 20 years, I craved something more. I didn't quite know what that was until I learned about the role of a Postpartum Doula and a lightbulb went off in my head. It was the moment I knew I had found my career and passion. My previous roles working with women and children has equipped me with some of the necessary tools to carry over into my role as a doula.
What led you to become a Doula?: I worked as a nanny for 21 years. While I loved it, I was craving something more. I dabbled in the corporate world and came back to nannying and then I put a few toes into the startup world, and again came back to nannying. I was feeling like becoming a career nanny was not what I was meant to do and when I learned of the role of a Postpartum Doula, I immediately knew I found my path.
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
“Wendy is an amazing doula and we came to have complete trust in her caring for our daughter. She obviously loves to care for babies and has many years of experience doing so. That genuine love coupled with her competence are what gave so much peace of mind about care, both overnight and daytime.”
“Wendy has been a fantastic source of support for me and my family following the birth of our third child in less than four years. She is a wonderful listener and aligns herself with the needs and concerns of the family. She offers great advice on sleep issues, eating concerns, and general baby development. Wendy always tried to make herself available to us whenever we felt we needed support and she is super reliable and responsive. She is amazing with our little guy and has a calming effect on the baby—and our whole family. “
“Giving your newborn to another person can be a hard thing to do, but there is no one I would trust more to take care of my baby than Wendy. She is so kind and nurturing, I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.”
