We had the privilege of having Zoe as our overnight postpartum doula for our second child. It was great having such a warm, friendly, and supportive presence in the house while most of the rest of the folks in the house were asleep. She was a huge help during our struggles with breastfeeding and our daughter's jaundice treatment, as well as with all the baby-related chores that seem small but add up quickly. I could rest assured that Baby was cared for and that I wouldn't wake up to a bin full of used baby bottles and pumping supplies to wash. Even our 3 year old really warmed up to her, even though she was mostly here during his sleeping hours. We felt very well supported and Zoe's visits were the perfect way to reset during the newborn+toddler struggle.

When my delivery didn’t go as planned, Zoe was by my side as a positive, supportive presence. Collaborating with the midwives, Zoe had ideas about how to move the delivery along. Zoe worked as a team with my family and provided encouragement to me. After the delivery, Zoe provided me with excellent lactation consultation, helping me and Ella work through many challenges in feeding. I am forever grateful for Zoe’s care.

I highly recommend Zoe to anyone in need of lactation support. I received lactation services from Zoe starting around 6 months postpartum when my son began having issues latching. This was incredibly frustrating to have new issues arise at that point in my breastfeeding journey, but Zoe was extremely knowledgeable and patient. She worked around my schedule and really took her time to thoroughly assess issues and provide practical, effective solutions. Most importantly, Zoe truly met me where I was and acknowledged my unique needs and goals. Zoe was so supportive and honestly imperative in helping me achieve my goal of breastfeeding for at least one full year. You will not be disappointed if you schedule with Zoe.
