Breastfeeding can be tough. Let's work to resolve your issues. I can educate you on the mechanics of lactation, positioning, weighted feeds, latching, and more.
You don't have to do this alone.
Whether you're preparing for birth or finding your footing in the fourth trimester, I'm here to support you - judgment free, without pressure, and fully in your corner.

“Cheylah’s support was so valuable to us as first time parents. Her knowledge and experience in newborn care and support helped me through a challenging time in my life. While waiting for my milk to come in, I felt pressured to supplement with formula but she was highly encouraging and supportive of my decision to breastfeed my baby. We are 4.5 months in of exclusively breastfeeding my baby and Cheylah has helped from the beginning, including preparing baby to take a bottle of expressed milk, to helping me learn how to pump. She was also extremely kind and sweet to our baby, we could see how much she cared and that our baby was in great care. I was able to rest and take a break while my baby received care from Cheylah. She also taught me how to give my baby a bath, soothe my baby, and tips and tricks to make caring for my baby easier."

Cheylah was extremely punctual, professional, and informative. She provided clear presentations and hands-on demonstrations that were easy for me to understand as a first-time mom. She made learning about lactation tips and newborn care fun, digestible, and never overwhelming. Being around her gave me peace and confidence as I stepped into motherhood. She calmly addressed all my fears, and the experiences she shared helped me see myself in a new light and reminded me not to be so hard on myself. Her support made a meaningful difference in my journey into motherhood. I would highly recommend her support for postpartum and lactation support to any new soon to be mom.

This woman was my savior!
Cheylah came in and saved the day when I needed her most and I will forever be grateful for that. I would say from the moment we met but even before that she was attentive, caring and comforting. I felt at ease in her presence, I was heard and respected! That might feel like it should be a given when it comes to bringing in a doula but trust me it is not. Cheylah is the epitome of what a doula should be! Supportive, attentive, knowledgeable, calm, observant, passionate about her calling and a pleasure to be around. She always made sure to affirm the fact that I could give birth to my child and helped me feel confident about that leading to and during my labor. I know for a fact I would not have been able to stay as calm without her.
Cheylah will always be a part of my family and I am proud of that.
