Blissful Graduates
Mary
“As first time parents, Kim not only gave us the confidence and knowledge to better care for our little one but also gave us the time to recover and recharge. Her experience in the NICU shines through, but it's truly her empathy that makes her stand out as a caregiver and guide. Our daughter loved her time with Kim as much as we did, even our dog will miss her!”

“Kim was our postpartum doula for our first child and I can't even begin to express how helpful and wonderful it was to have her care for our son and me. She was so kind, comforting and helpful with our son and she just had such a warm and kind demeanor. Our son absolutely adored her and would instantly be at ease when she took care of him! We fully trusted her with the care of our child, and having her there for those tough nights as I was recovering from my c-section and dealing with a newborn was so necessary. As a NICU nurse, she just seemed very informed and qualified to answer/address any infant concerns or questions. She's incredibly knowledgeable about infant care and would proactively provide tips and help. I probably asked her a million questions during her time with us and she always eagerly answered all of them. I also had a lot of breastfeeding difficulties that made my postpartum recovery a bit difficult. Kim was there supporting and helping me as I tried to regulate my supply. We so enjoyed having Kim as a postpartum doula and I would highly recommend her to any family!”

“Kim was a huge support in our first couple months with our second baby. It was one of the best decisions we made! Even though we were experienced parents, it made such a difference to get a good nights rest when she was there. Having that uninterrupted sleep helped us both for the next day but also just for the recovery process after my own C-section. She was great for both physical and mental health. There’s nothing like handing off your baby to someone you wholeheartedly trust and then you can soundly sleep. Kim is extremely qualified with her NICU experience and her gentle and calming nature helped ease our anxieties. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our daughter in her care. She also helped greatly with tips on how to breastfeed more effectively and was very knowledgeable about different tips/ tricks to help soothe our daughter. And last but not least, Kim is just a very kind person and we loved having her around the house. We joke that we are keeping her until kindergarten starts!”

“Kim has been nothing short of a blessing to our family. She has been part of our family for 5 years and played such a vital role in achieving a blissful transition during those first few months with our babies. Going from zero kids to one and one to two was definitely smoother thanks to Kim. She showered our family with support, guidance, and a feeling of security knowing that our tiny humans were in good hands. Today, our children still love her and I’m forever grateful to have her in our lives.”

“Did you ever meet someone and instantly feel like they were a part of your family? That’s exactly how I felt when I met Kim. It felt as though she had always been a part of my family, I passed her my newborn with no worries of how she would be cared for while I got some much-needed sleep. But besides just the much-needed sleep, Kim was also full of knowledge. She answered countless questions that I had as a first-time mom, exclusively pumping and supplementing with formula. I never felt as though my questions were silly or embarrassed to ask them, because she has such a wide knowledge base from her medical background, she basically knew it all or said she would find out for me. Kim was the best thing I ever did for my family and myself in those first weeks after bringing my daughter home. She is professional, friendly, caring, attentive and extremely knowledgeable (and loves dogs too!).”

"Kim is incredible!! She was there for me during my most delicate and vulnerable days post partum. I had a difficult delivery and when I got home in TONS of pain with no idea how I would care for a newborn and also myself, she was there and I just felt like everything was going to be OK. She was there for my baby and husband and showed us so many things we didn't know as first time parents! She has so much expertise since she is also a NICU nurse, but also a special touch and happy personality to make anyone feel at ease, even when they are stressed and sleep deprived. I was so sad to say goodbye on our last day and wish I could have her with me every day! We miss her so much! Best PP doula ever."

“Kim has been the most amazing gift to our family for both of our sons. She is so knowledgable about babies and breastfeeding and she shared so many great tips and tricks. Most importantly, I had a lot of anxieties regarding milestones and development with my second son and Kim was able to provide me with comfort, reassurance, and education to help ease my nerves. She always took the time to listen, no matter how silly I felt asking the question. Our boys love her and we cannot wait to have her back when baby #3 arrives!”

“My husband and I adopted our daughter and found ourselves far away from home and suddenly the parents of a newborn. Kim was there for us via video conferences calls and gave us step by step guidance and instruction on what to do and expect during the first two weeks of our daughters life. Once we returned home she visited often and provided such amazing care and support to all three of us. She is very knowledgeable, understanding, kind, gentle and most importantly she is patient. Kim was supportive of our unique family dynamic and made us feel confident in our new role as dads. She is one of a kind and we are so glad our daughter was cared for by her during such a fragile and important time in her life. She is wonderful!”

"We were matched with Kim through Bloom Baby and she made sure that our first few weeks as parents were as calm, composed, and collected as possible.
While it was Kim’s background as a NICU nurse that piqued our interest, it was in learning more about her approach as a PP Doula that it became very clear, very quickly her expertise goes well beyond her work at the hospital. Kim showed up leading with kindness, patience, and knowledge since the moment we brought our daughter home from the hospital. Her confident yet calming presence made me, my husband, and my daughter at ease during what can normally be a scary and vulnerable time as a couple transitions to parenthood for the first time. She is an absolute natural with babies and we often called her our “baby whisperer”. She is by far Dylan’s best (and first) friend and we are so deeply grateful for her time, energy, and love."

“My husband and I hired Kim prior to our first daughter being born. It was such a relief coming home from the hospital knowing that Kim would be there the next day to guide us through the first few days of newborn life as well as help keep our house in order. Kim jumped right in on her first day with us - she took initiative and suggested tasks that she could help with all while coaching us on how to care for our new babe! I will forever be grateful for those first few days where I could sneak in naps while Kim kept a watchful and loving eye on our daughter.
As the weeks went on, Kim was a huge support for us. As a new mom, she gave me the confidence and reassured me everything my daughter and I were experiencing was normal. She always offered solutions and ideas for the challenges that come with the newborn phase and was never pushy - everything was my choice and only if I was comfortable would we try things!
In addition to daytime hours in the first couple of weeks, Kim transitioned to overnights with us - we looked forward to her arriving every night. She was extremely loving, gentle and even keeled with our daughter. She had a gentle approach to overnights/sleep training. Gently guiding and teaching our daughter to soothe herself and ultimately, sleep through the night! I had the utmost confidence in Kim when she spent overnights with our daughter. I knew everyone would wake up happy (including my husband and I after enjoying some decent sleep).
Kim is very knowledgeable in newborn care (first time mom here with SO many questions!), flexible, happy, has great communication and most importantly loved our baby. The idea of having someone in our house during a huge time of change seemed a bit overwhelming, but she blended in with our family perfectly. I would highly recommend Kim if you are looking for additional support for you and your family postpartum.”

“Kim is an angel on earth. We are not sure how we would have made it through the postpartum phase without her support. She took great care of me following my second c-section, our newborn as well as our toddler.
Kim is naturally intuitive and perceptive of other people's needs. Oftentimes, she knew what we needed before we were able to vocalize it. She took note of how our household operated and helped us ensure each day went smoothly (without us having to ask). She bonded with both our newborn and our toddler and provided support during our adjustment to a family of 4.
Kim is extremely knowledgeable of newborn care and relevant products to solve common postpartum scenarios. She is reliable, dependable and extremely personable. Kim was a joy to have. She was made to be a doula and any family would be so lucky to have her."
