Kind Words from My Clients
Rita patiently waited until baby was home from the hospital and then supported us in the most difficult of moments. My baby thrived under her care and guidance, and she helped him develop solid sleeping habits and routines. I would highly recommend Rita!
Nikita Donti Rita was such a Godsend to our family! I had a complicated postpartum and spent a lot of time sleeping and recovering. She was so kind, so professional, always on time, and amazing with our baby girl. I'd 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!
Jacqueline McIntosh Rita was our amazing night doula who helped us the first few months postpartum. She taught us all the tricks of the trade, from swaddling to tips on how to get them to sleep through the night. I can't recommend her enough!
