testimonial
During my pregnancy and postpartum journey, Alexandra was an absolute pillar of strength and support.
From the very beginning, she made sure I never felt alone, offering her time, her care, and her unwavering encouragement every step of the way.

 Geromika Testimonial"She helped me find balance." |
Whether it was attending doctor’s appointments with me, helping me prepare for the baby’s arrival, or simply being a listening ear on the tough days, she always showed up with kindness and patience.
Beyond the pregnancy, Alexandra was a major support as I transitioned into a completely new chapter of my life — now managing with three kids. She helped me find balance, reassured me on the hard days, and constantly reminded me that I was capable of handling it all, even when I felt overwhelmed. Her compassion, wisdom, and steady presence made such a difference during one of the most challenging — and beautiful — times of my life.
I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through it all without her. Alexandra’s love and support will forever hold a special place in my heart.

testimonial
Before I met Alexandra, I honestly wasn’t aware of doula services. I just thought I would be doing everything on my own with little help from family members, as I am a single parent.
When I met Alexandra at a Starbucks in the neighborhood she was very open and charismatic.
 Skyla's TestimonyAlexandra has gone above and beyond with her services. |  Skyla's TestimonyWith Alexandra’s support I was able to get a lot of things done. |  Skyla's TestimonyShe was very punctual as well, and that made things run smoothly. |

I just knew she’d be the perfect fit to care for me and my baby. She gave me support through my final year as an undergraduate student at a university, and she would take me and the baby grocery shopping, or to doctor appointments. Transportation has always been a hurdle for me, but with Alexandra’s support I was able to get a lot of things done.
She used her spirituality to connect with me and Adina as well through prayers and even church visits. Alexandra has gone above and beyond with her services and she has changed the game for many doulas and midwives. When I was exhausted from nights when Adina would cry almost two hours straight from unknown reasons, Alexandra prayed over her. Ever since we haven’t had bad nights like before.
Alexandra was very communicative and responsive when it came to her services. She was very punctual as well, and that made things run smoothly. I could tell that she wanted things to be easier for me during this significant transition of my life
