“Do yourself & your family a favor and hire Shilpa! Her compassion and attention to detail combined with her Ayurvedic wisdom and passion for helping babies and mothers live their best lives make her a rare and exceptional choice for all stages of Doula support. I feel very lucky that I got to welcome my baby into the world with Shilpa’s expertise and support. 100 percent recommend!!” — A.K.

“Shilpa was an amazing addition to our home during the weeks after we had our 2nd son. She was so easy to work with from the beginning and very attentive to all of our families’ needs. She jumped right in and was a helping hand with so many things – from taking care of the baby, to helping with feedings and swaddling and diaper changes, to offering advice and support in my postpartum needs. She went the extra mile to bring oil to massage and calm the baby and special bath mixtures and teas for me. She also was extremely knowledgeable about newborn care and postpartum care. She offered advice on several occasions that helped me get my newborn to take a pacifier, and sleep and nap better. I would recommend Shilpa to anyone who is in need of postpartum support.” — A.N.

“As part of her postpartum care, Shilpa offered ayurvedic massage for me and the baby. It was transformative. I felt more connected to my baby and to my own healing process after an emergency c-section and long stay in the NICU. It was a really beautiful experience.” — A.S.

“Shilpa was exactly who I needed at the time I became pregnant. I felt very lost and am so thankful that I met you. She helped ground me by actually paying attention and asking me what’s going on. While I appreciated everything, the support that felt most crucial was Shilpa helping me learn about some key medical information regarding abortions such as differences between medical and surgical abortions, what to prepare for and ask about when approaching my options. All while offering continued guidance and room to ask questions. There was a severe lack of information offered to me and Shilpa filled so much in with her wisdom and knowledge.” — A.E.C.

“TLDR: Shilpa is a phenomenal doula. We highly recommend her.
We had the pleasure of working with Shilpa for two months after the birth of our little one, when she was providing night doula support. She worked multiple nights a week with us.. We highly recommend her! She was reliable, knowledgeable, so good with our baby, and even became like part of the family.
Reliability: Shilpa was consistently on-time, communicative, and cultivated an immensely trusting space with us.
Knowledge: Shilpa has so much experience with babies! When asked for advice on nursing, bottle feeding, sleeping, pooping...really anything...she offered really helpful insights and often followed up with more in-depth resources for us to explore. We learned so much from her in our first couple months as parents, and we remain grateful.
Good with the little one: Our baby LOVED Shilpa. Shilpa was sweet, present, and gentle with our baby. She paid very close attention to our little one’s needs, and kept us apprised. For example, one morning our little one spit up a large (for her) amount. Shilpa held her upright for an hour and gave us recommendations if it happened again. We trusted that our baby was very well cared for while with Shilpa.
Part of the family: Shilpa was so kind, thoughtful, loving that having her around felt like having family around.” — E.H. & K.G.

“We started working with Shilpa in February 2024, the day we brought our boy home from the hospital. She is exactly the kind of person you’d want to give a day-old baby to and we trusted her immediately. She is grounded and thoughtful, and brings calm to every situation, which we found especially helpful in those challenging early days. We also really appreciated her emphasis on holistic care – she’s not just a nighttime babysitter but someone who really brings another level of medical and psychological attention to her work. She was able to recommend resources and networks that we wouldn’t have known about, and she also surprised us with incredible and delicious ayurvedic foods she’d cooked for us. My husband and I are missing Shilpa’s presence but we’re so grateful for our early weeks with her.” — E.L.C & F.C.
