Annie
“Juanita is the greatest blessing a growing family could hope for… She does it all — prepartum support, birth/labor, postpartum support, night nannying, infant sleep coaching, and lactation counseling. She used gentle/no-cry sleep techniques to help the twins connect their sleep cycles and had them sleeping 6-hour stretches within 6 weeks… We loved waking up to a clean, organized house and happy, well-rested babies.”
Corniya
“Juanita took the time to talk to me about my labor/birth trauma… She folded laundry, organized the nursery, and gave me emotional support I didn’t know I needed. She’s the best postpartum doula — helpful, insightful, and truly listens.”
