“Laurel brought immediate warmth, empathy, and a gentle calm to our family in the early newborn weeks. Her experience was invaluable to us, and we still benefit from it to this day. We learned new and improved soothing tools and also got helpful recommendations on everything from baby products to pediatric dentist to nanny search forums, all of which have helped us navigate new parenthood. Laurel has been doing this a long time and it shows! She also genuinely cares about every member of the family and is instinctively wired to want to help. As parents, we typically only get to experience raising newborns a few times in our lifetime; we don’t really get the chance to become true experts. But that’s where professionals like Laurel really shine! With her, you’ll not only get a great night’s rest and quality care for mother and child, but also useful resources and the advice of a trusted expert. Would undoubtedly work with Laurel again and highly recommend to anyone in need of postpartum / overnight infant care services.”

“Laurel made the postpartum period as smooth as it could possibly have been, even during a global pandemic. As first-time parents, we appreciated her warmth, professionalism and guidance as she helped us navigate the first few weeks. She gave us valuable advice without judgement and helped us build our confidence as new parents. We felt completely comfortable with our newborn son in her care during her overnight stays and she gave us the best gift of all — sleep! We appreciated her diligence with COVID precautions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a postpartum doula.”

“Laurel would be an amazing asset at any time, but during the insanity of this pandemic, she was a godsend. Laurel helped us create the safe and loving postpartum period we needed in spite of the craziness going on around us. Her personal attentiveness to COVID precautions combined with her warmth, flexibility, and professionalism made her help completely comfortable, even without the ability to meet in person before the birth. Laurel’s experience, knowledge, and compassion for the postpartum period meant that she often knew what I needed before I did. My older son absolutely adored her, and she effortlessly struck the balance of supporting me and my newborn while also making my 3 year old feel important and included in his own right. I am incredibly grateful for Laurel’s support to our whole family during the postpartum period, and I cannot recommend her enough.”

“I will tell you now, you could not do better than Laurel.
She is dedicated, smart, kind, trustworthy, understanding and incredibly talented at what she does. My wife and I had all expectations exceeded by our time with her, and our expectations were pretty high after deciding to hire Laurel in the first place.
We had some daunting challenges as first time parents when we came home with our baby. Laurel guided us with patience and perseverance and for that she will always be a valued member of our family.”

“Laurel is amazing! I can’t imagine anyone more caring, knowledgeable, competent and a joy to spend time with. She really helped us so much - my husband and I are first time parents so we had a lot to learn and Laurel was a huge source of support practically and emotionally. And she’s a great cook! We were planning to work with her for just a few weeks and she was so invaluable we wound up working with her for three months.”

“Laurel has a way of making you comfortable by asking the right questions, not assuming, and being attentive to your needs. Her services go much beyond having someone “help”. There is a level of understanding about simple things that make a huge difference. For example, knowledge of sanitizing equipment, what to and what not to eat while nursing and so much more.”

“With care and compassion, she provided incredible emotional and educational support, guidance with breastfeeding, and instruction on how to care for our precious baby. We have come to know Laurel as a truly lovely person who is honest, dependable, flexible, extremely informed, and professional.”

“I have had the privilege and pleasure of knowing Laurel Jensen for the last two years. As a postpartum doula, I know Laurel to be kind, caring, conscientious, anticipatory of client’s needs, thorough and non judgmental. ”

“After meeting Laurel, I felt very comfortable sharing jobs with her when I am in need of a back up. She is kind and has a gentle spirit .I have seen her in action as a Postpartum Doula and feel she is amazing at what she does. She is knowledgeable, confident and responsible. She works hard and goes the extra mile every time.”

“Laurel came into our lives when we were brand new parents and had no idea what we were doing. She provided us with an extraordinary foundation of confidence, love and safety that we so desperately needed. My husband and I were tired and overwhelmed, we questioned almost every choice we made as we were worried it was either not right, or not enough. Laurel not only gave us all the information we needed, but more importantly, she constantly assured us that we were enough and that we were amazing parents. She gave us so much love and support. We are honored to know her and have had her in our lives during such a vulnerable and sacred time. She is one of the nicest, most compassionate and intuitive people I have ever met and it is truly an honor to recommend her to anyone looking for a postpartum doula.”

“Laurel is such an incredible asset and brought such a loving and calming presence to our home during the postpartum period. We learned so much from her - from baby care, learning & recognizing baby cues, schedules & routines and being kind & patient to ourselves. Having Laurel present during the early stages helped us build confidence as parents and create a warm and welcoming environment for our newborn. She was always good company, a good source of information and a shoulder to lean on. Oh! And she nurtures with yummy warming meals. And I couldn’t imagine that time without her pumpkin muffins and energy balls.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laurel as a person and as a postpartum doula. As a first time mother, I felt so supported by her, both emotionally and physically. The crucial two months after birth were wrought with self-doubt and exhaustion that I could not imagine how I could have survived it without her help. Laurel was there to not only support my emotional and physical well being, but also to teach me about how to care for a newborn. The best gift a mom could get for herself is a few months with Laurel postpartum!”

“Laurel was kind, patient, nurturing and extremely helpful with her knowledge of postpartum care. She quickly became more than just a doula to me. She felt like part of the family. She was also so great with my first daughter, and that warmed my heart.”
