I can’t say enough about the support we received from our CLE baby doula team, Christina and Sarah. Leading up to the birth, they provided support to us by way of an in person meeting to create our birth plan and virtually supporting us during the final few weeks of pregnancy. I had a very smooth pregnancy and did not need much in the way of support until the very end. I had wanted to avoid induction but ended up at 41 and 5 and still not in labor. They helped me talk through the results of the tests I had in my final few days and get me comfortable with a plan to go in for an induction. Once we were at the hospital for the induction, my husband kept Christina and Sarah up to date on how things were progressing and they were able to provide great support and suggestions on positioning and important things to communicate with the nursing and midwife staff through the earlier phases of labor. As my labor intensified, Christina joined us in the hospital and she was an absolute godsend! She jumped right in and provided the exact support I needed in that moment. She helped coach me through my contractions with incredibly helpful suggestions on breathing and positioning and reminding me each contraction was one I didn’t have to see again and one closer to meeting my baby girl. She was also a calming and confident presence for my husband. Having her there to support in addition to my husband was so critical for the success of my labor and delivery. After experiencing labor and delivery, I think every mama needs a doula in addition to their partner and I couldn’t recommend CLE baby and Christina/Sarah enough!

We used CLEBaby for Postpartum night support with Jennifer. She was amazing and such a positive part of my postpartum recovery. She was always prompt, positive and helpful. She helped us all get on a schedule and get the rest we needed as a family! I cannot recommend her or CLE baby enough.

We were lucky to find CLEbaby for our first baby. My husband works a lot and both our families are far away either overseas or on the west coast. Our main doula Jennifer Palacios accompanied us for over 2 months every week on a regular basis. My husband says she is the Michael Jordan of babies and I call her the baby whisperer! Our baby girl got pretty colicky and difficult at around week 3/4 until week 7/8 and Jennifer taught us so many useful and life saving tricks to calm her down fast and deal with these difficult moments. Jen is truly amazing at her job. She is so professional, caring, attentive, and incredibly knowledgable and experienced. She is also very kind and my baby girl LOVES her. She guided us from day one and was able to train our baby to fall asleep and stay asleep in her crib for long stretches of time very early on. We are so grateful for her and our family will miss her very very much. It was always a pleasure and so comforting to have her in our home, especially as brand new parents. We will definitely want her back if we have another child. We also had the pleasure to work with 2 other CLEbaby doulas, Christina and Michelle, and they were very qualified, helpful and so nice. We highly recommend CLEbaby! Best money we ever spent, so worth it!
