Testimonials
Liz Amy and Staci brought peace, kindness, and warmth into our home during a very vulnerable and uncertain time for our growing family. They helped us not to just “survive” the newborn phase, but truly enjoy and cherish it. There is no doubt that having these wonder women in our home made us better, and of course more well-rested, parents and spouses. We miss them so much!

Those first few months with a new baby can be unpredictable. That’s why we’re so grateful to have found The Seattle Night Doulas. They gave our family the gift of predictable sleep, so we could show up as the parents & partners that we wanted to be. Liz Amy & Staci are kind, communicative professionals who you can rely on to take excellent care of your newborn. We’re continuing to benefit from the strong sleep habits that they helped instill early, which helped make transitioning out of the swaddle & into a crib much easier.

We are so grateful to Liz and Amy helping us care for our newborn son in his first few months. He was a voracious eater since birth and having the occasional support to care for him and manage frequent overnight feedings really helped us recharge as we navigated being new parents. Liz and Amy are so trustworthy, warm, kind, caring, thoughtful and full of great advice that goes well beyond what our pediatrician provided. Whole heartedly would recommend them.

Amy Liz & Staci were the most wonderful night doulas to work with. I’ve worked with others in the past for my first two children, but these three were leaps and bounds above the rest: more attentive, caring, professional and helpful than anyone else in our experience. They were amazing at communicating with me and between themselves so that we were always on the same page. And they were always available to advise - answering questions via text if ever I needed help or advice. Most importantly they are also magicians! They helped my little boy develop long-lasting good sleep habits. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Liz and Amy were like two angels that came into our lives when we desperately needed relief. Our sweet little boy suffered from painful reflux and we were up all night holding him to sleep. Enter Liz and Amy: not only did they give us the sleep we desperately needed, they also helped get Noah on the right track with sleep and provided tips and advice from years of experience with reflux babies. They would text us between visits to check up, and would keep each other filled in so they both always knew what was going on. The nights they came, I would feel noticeably calmer during the day because I knew I’d be able to sleep that night! They immediately felt like trusted, caring friends and they were so accommodating of their schedules. I could not recommend these two wonder-workers any more; if we decided to get pregnant again, they are my first call!

We hired Liz and Amy to help us with our newborn daughter Charlotte for a total of 14 weeks. While we realize a night doula is an investment, the service was probably the most valuable tool we purchased for our newborn. The sleep deprivation caused by the needs of a newborn is totally overwhelming. Being able to rest at night while our baby was in great hands allowed us to maintain our mental health, focus at work, and most importantly, show up as better parents during the day. Not only did they care for our daughter at night, but also they provided a lot of helpful suggestions and insights as we navigated various sleep, feeding, and reflux challenges with our daughter. As first time parents it was helpful having access to Liz and Amy who provided a wealth of information and support. We learned a lot along the way from the support of Liz and Amy, and we will absolutely be hiring them again for baby #2!

We were so lucky to work with Liz and Amy. They made the transition to parenthood smooth and helped us learn how to truly understand and care for our child. From breastfeeding strategizing conversations to soothing techniques that worked for our little one, we can't imagine what life would have been like without them by our side. They truly felt like family and we would always look forward to seeing them each visit. Seattle Night Doulas is now my #1 recommendation to all my expecting friends -- they're a must have!

Liz and Amy were game changers. With my first baby, I remember the sleep exhaustion was difficult to fight especially with the baby blues. With our second baby, I wanted to build more support around me. Liz and Amy were everything I could ask for. They were prompt in their responses, reliable, extremely well experienced, knowledgeable, and overall lovely people. They helped encourage me to give the baby a bottle when they felt he had developed sufficient skill in latching and nursing with me, so that I got more sleep at night. I really needed this push because I was so afraid to introduce the bottle. I appreciated discussing and getting ideas for sleep issues. They were so understanding and warm, and just present during their nightly shifts, even when I would doze off in the middle of nursing. My only regret is not booking them longer!

We don't even know where to start with how amazing it was to work with Liz and Amy. It was the best decision and investment we made as first time parents. We had no idea what we were doing and Liz and Amy provided us much needed guidance, support, and honestly kept us sane during the first few months of our daughter's life - especially as this first time mom was experiencing a difficult postpartum recovery. Not only did they allow us to sleep, we trusted 100% that our daughter was being lovingly cared for by extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and nurturing women. Both Liz and Amy have their own areas of expertise - from sleep training, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery and everything in between - and it was so valuable to have both of them by our sides as we learned to navigate life with a new baby. They truly became part of our family. We are so grateful to have found them and to have them as part of our lives!

I have to start by saying Liz and Amy are a dream team; they each bring their own authentic knowledge which translates into double the insight. As a first time parent, I didn't know how much I needed a night doula until they began to care for me and my infant. What I had thought would be some extra personal sleep support turned out to be so much more. Did both Liz and Amy help me sleep at night, which in turn helped me be more present during the day? Yes! But moreover, they taught me how to help my child sleep, how to read infant cues and to apply calming tools. They reinforced lactation techniques, taught me about pumping and milk storage. Each provided insights from their years of experience to help me put my new world into context. They do this with a gentle ease, kindness, and confidence that quickly earns your trust. Making the investment in Liz and Amy is making an investment in your family's well-being. I am so thankful I did and will be forever grateful for their support.

Liz and Amy are the best. The number one thing we did right in preparing for Ezra’s arrival was to hire Liz and Amy. In addition to providing many great recommendations leading up to his birth, they provided wonderful care for Ezra that allowed us to get hours of sleep. We never had to experience the stress and anxiety of sleepless nights while also trying to figure out how to manage life with a newborn. The first few weeks and months with Ezra were a joy, thanks in large part to the support we were getting from Liz and Amy several nights a week. In addition to all of the help with Ezra, Liz and Amy provided advice for improving Ezra’s sleep schedule and constant encouragement and reassurance as we adjusted to the challenges of feeding and caring for a newborn.
