Such a wonderful, supportive experience working with Mikella and Michelle! We worked the most with Michelle through labor, delivery, and postpartum and could not be more grateful for her- such a gem of person and a doula!

Lauren was a life saver! Prior to working with Lauren, our 11 month old baby was getting up 3-5 times a night consistently. Within two nights, Lauren was able to get our son to sleep through the night! She clearly demonstrated her expertise in this area and she was a pleasure to work with and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. If you are dealing with similar issues, I highly recommend using Lauren and CLEBaby, they are worth every penny!

We cannot recommend Lauren from CLEBaby enough - Our baby struggled terribly with sleep from ~5 weeks old, so much so that we thought sleep training wouldn't work with him (we'd tried everything). Insert Lauren, who had our son sleeping through the night on the 2nd night she was with us. Truly amazing! I would hire her 100x over.

I hired Christian through CLEbaby to care for my baby while I was in town for a wedding. She was only 9 weeks at the time, so I was naturally very nervous about leaving her! However, Christian made me feel so at ease and is really a pro with babies. She did such a wonderful job and kept me updated throughout the night. Additionally, she went out of her way to help me troubleshoot some of the feeding issues we'd been experiencing. I highly recommend CLEbaby and, especially, Christian!

We are so thankful to have found CLEbaby for our first baby! Michelle and Mikella were very helpful and resourceful during the entire process, especially in the weeks leading up to the birth. They helped guide us through our different options and truly helped make our experience smooth and well thought out. Mikella was our on site doula for the birth and we couldn’t have done it without her. She was amazing at explaining the different steps along the way and was a huge support for my husband as well. Looking forward to working with them again for other services and our next round!

We worked with Sarah and Christina throughout our pregnancy and they were fantastic. They were always super responsive to questions and updates and gave us so much confidence going into the labor and delivery process.
Christina was with me on the day of my birth and she was everything I needed and more during the labor and delivery of my first baby! Her calming energy, wisdom, and experience with the labor process was truly amazing. I 100% believe my ability to have an unmedicated birth was largely because I had Christina on my team and would highly recommend investing in her doula services, especially for first time moms. The investment was priceless for the outcome we achieved with our first birth. Thank you Christina!

I can’t say enough about the support we received from our CLE baby doula team, Christina and Sarah. Leading up to the birth, they provided support to us by way of an in person meeting to create our birth plan and virtually supporting us during the final few weeks of pregnancy. I had a very smooth pregnancy and did not need much in the way of support until the very end. I had wanted to avoid induction but ended up at 41 and 5 and still not in labor. They helped me talk through the results of the tests I had in my final few days and get me comfortable with a plan to go in for an induction. Once we were at the hospital for the induction, my husband kept Christina and Sarah up to date on how things were progressing and they were able to provide great support and suggestions on positioning and important things to communicate with the nursing and midwife staff through the earlier phases of labor. As my labor intensified, Christina joined us in the hospital and she was an absolute godsend! She jumped right in and provided the exact support I needed in that moment. She helped coach me through my contractions with incredibly helpful suggestions on breathing and positioning and reminding me each contraction was one I didn’t have to see again and one closer to meeting my baby girl. She was also a calming and confident presence for my husband. Having her there to support in addition to my husband was so critical for the success of my labor and delivery. After experiencing labor and delivery, I think every mama needs a doula in addition to their partner and I couldn’t recommend CLE baby and Christina/Sarah enough!

I always knew I wanted a doula and we ended up needing to do IVF to get pregnant which made a doula even more important to me. I found Clebaby recommended in a Facebook group I was in and they were so easy to work with all the way through. We ended up going into labor over 4 weeks early with my water breaking and Mikella was AMAZING. I truly could not have gotten through labor without her. We had just met earlier that day to put together my birth plan so when my water broke later that night they didn’t even get a chance to put it on paper but she made sure I was able to get almost everything I wanted. I even changed my mind on things during and she was so supportive and helped me make decisions and did it in a way that made me feel good about what i chose no matter what it was. My little one had to be in the NICU after he was born due to his lungs and Mikella checked in on us and our baby throughout the process, she truly cared and wanted to see how we were holding up. I will be using them/Mikella for baby number 2. If you are on the fence about a doula I highly suggest getting one and i cannot say enough good things about clebaby

Christina & Sarah were absolutely lovely to work with. Because of the distance between our home and the hospital, we initially had a hard time finding a doula. CLEbaby was willing to work with us and it made such a difference. Christina attended our birth, was with us all night, offered both myself and my spouse so much compassion and support and prepared us in ways we didn’t know we needed. She feels like part of our family now and I would highly encourage anyone considering hiring a doula to do it! It’s completely worth it and will help you stay present and grounded for birth and/or parenting! That outside, level voice and perspective from Christina allowed us to enjoy every minute of our birth story!

As soon as I became pregnant, my husband and I knew we wanted to work with a doula for birth support. This was our first child so we really wanted someone who could talk us through everything, answer our questions, and be an advocate for me. We worked with Michelle and Mikella and they were absolutely perfect. They were there for us the entire pregnancy and helped us come with our ideal birth plan. Mikella was the one at the hospital with us. Of course, our birth didn’t go exactly as we wanted or planned, but Mikella was able to keep us calm and alleviate our anxiety. We would not have made it through the pregnancy or birth without Mikella and Michelle and we highly recommend working with CLEbaby!

We worked with Lauren for sleep teaching and she was incredible! Highly recommend doing this. It will be a game changer for your baby, your family and yourself. I was hesitant at first but Lauren was so calm, professional and loving with our baby. She tailors her recommendations to your child and takes into account the family and daily life dynamics. She is always responsive and attentive to questions that arise afterward. It was a great investment that I would make again!

My postpartum and birthing experience with CLEBaby was phenomenal. Michelle was my birth doula. I experienced complications during birth (a placental abruption), and my infant, unfortunately, was taken to the NICU immediately following birth. Michelle was knowledgeable, positive, encouraging, supportive, and calming during this experience and helped me stay calm and positive. Michelle respected my preferences, advocated, and helped me maintain calmness during the emergent medical complications of my birth. Michelle helped make my birth a positive experience despite the medical complexities of my labor and delivery. Michelle also wrote a birth story for our infant, which was meaningful and special to me.
My postpartum doula team consisted of Michelle, Jennifer, Christina, and Shay for overnight and daytime support. I have a 2-year-old and completed online classes during my maternity leave, so I anticipated requiring much support during this period. My baby ended up having a 2-week NICU stay with significant breathing issues, so the postpartum support was invaluable. Bringing home a baby from the NICU was a new experience (even though this was my second baby) and having the support of my postpartum doula team made me feel more comfortable and confident in navigating the postpartum period with a critically ill newborn. Christina was kind, gentle, and knowledgeable with our infant and provided daytime support. Jennifer was also knowledgeable, available to answer questions, provided breastfeeding and pumping knowledge and support, and was terrific with our infant. Michelle was a wealth of knowledge and helped me navigate mastitis and the medical complexities our infant had during her NICU stay. Having Jennifer and Michelle at night allowed me to recover and rest with the peace of mind that my infant was well-cared for. Shay was also great and stepped in to cover last-minute shifts that were needed due to scheduling changes, and my infant adapted so quickly to the fantastic care she provided. Our doula team was an invaluable resource to our birth experience and postpartum journey. Our infant is five months old and thriving despite a complex entrance into this world, and we owe our deepest gratitude to CLEBaby and our doula team.

CleBaby saved my sanity! Also gave me peace of mind. I have twin girls as well as a 5 year old daughter and when the twins came home I was surviving on 1 hour of sleep or 30 minutes at a time! When Jen became our overnight postpartum doula, with Heather as well for nights Jen wasn't available, I was sleeping finally! The love and care for our twins was exceptional and gave me peace knowing I could trust them both to care for the girls while I slept. I could finally be my best self during the daytime! They both gave expert advice and recommendations. They are so knowledgeable. Jen went above and beyond in every way. She checks in on us girls to see how we are often and gives advice even still! Thank you Jen! She became a part of our family! She helped me so much and continues to encourage my motherhood journey. I'll always be so thankful for everyone at CleBaby. When we completed our contract Jen was checking in and offered to hire her back on for a little more support (I mean to save me) in between the transition to begin sleep training with their sleep coach Rhiannon. Jen was available a few nights a week until that began and it was my lifeline haha! I trusted CleBaby with my babies 100%. I highly recommend them for the rough first months, and then the sleep training for the forever sleepers!
Sleep training was the best thing to happen to our family. My twins needed the training to sleep through the night. I still can't believe I am sleeping finally! Rhiannon became a part of our family immediately. She taught us everything and showed us the tools and resources for success. She also still checks in with how things are going and gives advice and encouragement as they grow. I will always be forever grateful for her incredible knowledge and methods. She helped us as a family, not just me. She lovingly and confidently guided us as a unit to successful sleeping! My girls are sleeping, I have extra one on one time with my 5 year old, and my husband and I have evenings relaxing on the couch! It's a huge blessing! Everyone we worked with at CleBaby is incredible and a godsend. Thank you all for everything. God bless you all too!
