From Our Clients
"[Coda] is CLEARLY gifted with babies (& puppies!!!). She was always so kind and professional here and we can't tell you what a difference it has made having her be a part of our postpartum journey."

"Coda has been helping our family since we first brought home our baby boy, 7 months ago. Her calm and confident demeanor put me at ease immediately. And her effect was the same on our baby and our three big dogs! As a new mom, I was reassured by her presence and felt like her help was the best investment we made when planning our family. I was able to maintain sanity through the early weeks of bringing home my newborn and continued to have Coda stay overnight with my son as he got older and we wanted to enjoy nights out. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dependable. I’m so thankful that we have had Coda in our lives!"

My husband and I struggled with the sleep deprivation and postpartum anxiety we experienced after having our first son. We knew we wanted to do things differently after the birth of our second, so we chose to hire a postpartum doula. It has been one of the best decisions we have made in our parenting journey thus far!
Coda has made the transition during the postpartum period so much easier. She has helped us establish good sleep habits with our new baby and tends to him when he needs extra comfort overnight. The amount of sleep I’ve been able to get during this ‘fourth trimester’ period has helped my recovery, both physically and emotionally.
Also, as a first-time breastfeeding mom, she has been a great support to have during those middle-of-the-night nursing sessions. Whether it’s been a listening ear for when I’ve needed to vent, or just someone to have light conversation with, this postpartum period has felt much less isolating for me.
I am so relieved we have had someone we can trust to care for our son and tend to his needs while we rest. We are so both thankful for Coda’s support during this time
