This company saved us with their overnight doula service. They were able to provide us with support at the last minute when I needed help caring for our baby at night. Maureen was so loving and competent with our newborn, and supportive and caring of me. She instantly made me feel comfortable and I was able to get some of the recovery time I needed in those first couple weeks postpartum. I would highly recommend the doula services to anyone needing that extra support. It is worth every penny!

Being a first time mom, When I found out I was pregnant, a million questions went off in my head about labor, delivery and post partum. I searched on google to find out if there were any services or companies out there that could help answer my questions and be there for me. Luckily I found helping hands doula- I contacted Kristi right Away. They returned my call in a timely matter and herself and her partner Jessyca came to my house for a consultation. They were exactly what I was looking for and I felt extremely comfortable speaking with them both. I ended up signing up for the welcome home package and have had zero regrets. They were there for me standing by my side the entire time I was in labor and for the next 3 weeks after I went home I had sharon their night doula assist me with my new born so I could heal my body and get much needed rest to recover. SHARON was a god sent and so amazing with my baby. You can tell she loves babies so much and today we still joke that she is my sons god nana.
Helping hands doula was super insightful and taught my husband and I a lot! I recommend them to everyone. They are truly the best and when I have my 2’d baby I would definitely use their services again!
Thanks so much guys, my experience throughout the journey and after has been incredible � xoxoresponse / report this review -

The ladies at Helping Hands made my pregnancy and post pregnancy experience so comfortable. The Pre Natal classes are a must! They come to your house, it is so intimate and informative. Jess and Kristi are extremely knowledgeable and not judgemental. My partner and I learned so many tricks and tips for labour, delivery and with baby that you would not find anywhere else. Helping Hands are readily accessible, flexible and understanding. I will 100% use their services again and purchase their services for friends. I hope I never lose contact with them, quite literally they changed my life!

Helping hands doula was the best thing me and my partner made during her pregancy. We meet both Kristi and Jessica at the baby show and from the first second felt at home. We had met with a few midwifes before this and never felt that connection with them but when we meet the doulas we felt that connection right away.
This was our first child and we hadnt a clue what we where doing but kristi and jessica made us feel at ease from day one.
Jessica was our doula on the day and it went so easy, if we didnt know what to ask the dr she was there for help, she my my wife feel as comfortable as possible and was there from start to finish.
We are trying for a second child at the moment and we plan on using them again.
It was by far the best money we have ever spent, if you have any doubts just meet with them they are the most professional and nicest people you will meet.They made our entire experience so positive and we would highly recommend them.response / report this review -

Two extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated ladies who will be right be your side from the moment you meet until you welcome your little one into this crazy world and even days after when you properly need some extra love and advice the most.
If you’re looking to have some “helping hands” by your side through this amazing time in your life, there are non other like Jess and Kristi.response / report this review -

I did my prenatal classes and they were great. I liked that it was private and they come right to your house. My husband felt more comfortable as well. He had a page, front and back, of notes which he brought with him during birth.
I got my placenta turned into pills. Jessica was amazing. She came right to my house and did it right in front of us. It was actually really neat to see the process. I did not take as many as was recommended ( it is just a recommendation) as I had so much energy from them! It was remarkable. My husband thinks it saved mine and his sanity! He said I was super happy when I would take one. I truly believe it helped with any baby blues after. They also make you a tincture that you use down the road. Which also was great! I am going to do it with all my pregnancies!
I would also like to note that Jessica still continues to answer any questions I may have! I ask her things about my one year old and she has great knowledge! Thank you!! Xoresponse / report this review -

Please please please do not hesitate to hire Kristi and Jess. I couldn't be more thankful they were by my side during the pregnancy, birth, and post birth. We had the craziest experience ever, where our little girl came 2.5 months early unexpected. I was hospitalized on bed rest prior to delivery, and Kristi and Jess accommodated us and came to the hospital to give us the crash courses on delivery and bringing the baby home. They moved their schedule to fit us in quickly, as we did not know when our baby girl would arrive. When I went into labour so early, it was the scariest experience. THANK GOD Jess was by my side. I was running a high fever, and they had to rush me in for emergency c section. Jess helped me be calm during all the craziness (I love my husband, but he was more scared then I was and couldn't have possibly kept me calm). As i didn't have time to read any baby books, Kristi and Jess were always there to answer our questions after our baby girl arrived. Thank you Helping Hand Doula!

I have had the pleasure of working with the lovely ladies of Helping Hands doula for both of my children. They offer personalized support for any of your needs before during and after your birth. They made my family and I feel extremely comfortable and offered non judgmental, open communication with all of our concerns. I also made the decision to have my placenta encapsulation done with them as well. It was done in the comfort of my home and I was able to witness the process ( which I chose to watch) and again was able to contact my encapsulator if I had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Helping Hands Doula to help make your birth and postpartum care as smooth and supportive as it can be.

Out of all the things my husband and I can recommend in terms of preparing for a first time birth is having a doula by your side. Kristi and Jessica are phenomenal! I had Jessica for my birth and she took care of me and my husband throughout the entire birth (the whole day!) When I wasn't sure of something Jessica would be right there explaining and reassuring me. As a first time mom, I cannot thank Jessica enough! She was with me every step. Also if you have any questions or concerns they respond within minutesas a first time mom I had so many fears and doubts but both were always there for me! I will totally have them again for my second child!!!!

Kristi and Jessica were amazing Doulas! We had our first child in January 2018 and couldn’t have gotten through it without them. They provided in person, on the phone and email support around the clock for any small or large questions that we had. They were very responsive and always got back to us in a timely manner. I had a lot of anxiety about the birthing experience and what to expect, but having them there the whole time made the experience very pleasant for both my husband and I. We have not hesitated in recommending them to everyone we know!!

Jess at Helping Hands was our Doula with our 2nd Charlotte. She made the entire experience incredible. She and my husband worked together as my team and were so supportive throughout the entire labour/delivery. Jess also was extremely fast to respond to all my worries/concerns throughout my pregnancy.
What was most touching was the letter she created for our daughter, explaining the birth and labour through her eyes. We cant wait for Jess and Helping Hands to bring baby 3 into the world in September 2018.
Highly reccomended to all!!!!!response / report this review -

Jessica was my birth doula AND my post partum doula and she was so wonderful. So calm and supportive, kind and gentle. A wonderful soul. I also gifted my sister a few hours of post partum support after the birth of her first baby, and Cheryl was in my sister's words "a godsend'. I recommend Helping Hands to everyone!

To my dearest Kristi,
Thank you so much for helping with the birth of Emilia. Moving from another country and being away from my husband because of his career and also having no family here, I'm so blessed to have found you and did not feel alone during the toughest time in my life. I am proud to deliver a breech baby naturally, and I feel deeply thankful for how much you had changed my life, not only for the labor but also for the unconditional love and caring throughout the pregnancy and postpartum. You are truly amazing! Any mom-to-be will be so lucky to have your accompany and expertise to guide her through the incredible journey! Kristi, all you have been offered to us is way beyond expectations.
To any mom/month-to-be, Please stop looking anywhere else for a doula. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for the best of the best doula services here.response / report this review -

Having your help after Ava was born was such an amazing experience!!! I used a doula during birth but did not know about having one after the baby was born! I have to say after having your help I would never do it any other way! I recommend you all of the time! Keep up the great work ladies �

Kristi was instrumental during my delivery--I'm honestly not sure i could have gotten through in one piece without her! Even my husband was relieved she was there with us. She was calm and soothing and was the only person I focused on during my delivery. i strongly recommend using her as your doula without hesitation. She was also a great help post partum when I was home with my newborn. thank you for everything Kristy!!

Their prenatal classes taught my husband how to relieve my hip and back pain during pregnancy and taught me how to breath through my labour. #DoulasMakeTheBestGifts
