We had the best experience with Queen City Doulas! My husband and I are so thankful for Kelsey as our doula. We could not have not gone through pregnancy, birth, or postpartum without her! Kelsey was so helpful by helping us know what labor would look like and gave us so many great tools to get through it together. During labor, she helped my husband to support me while supporting me herself. Kelsey is so knowledgeable in all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She was able to offer so much guidance throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journeys. Not only were her in person visits helpful, she was always willing to answer any questions or recommend things over text. I highly recommend hiring Kelsey as your doula! We cannot say enough good things about her. She is kind, calm, knowledgeable, supportive, and so helpful!

We are so grateful for Kaitlyn and her team. Communication is top notch. Our nanny Kelsey has helped us tremendously as we have navigated this newborn/toddler sibling season.

Caitlin Quinn January 26, 2026

Highly recommend Queen City Doulas! Kaitlyn was fantastic at setting us up with amazing night-time support on very short notice. The doulas were professional, kind, and exactly the help we needed. A lifesaver for new parents!

Joe Wimmer January 13, 2026

Queen City Doulas were absolutely phenomenal and truly indispensable during my postpartum experience. All three doulas we worked with were compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply supportive, and they played a huge role in making those early weeks feel smooth, calm, and manageable. They gave me the priceless gift of rest and the reassurance of knowing I had expert, caring support during a vulnerable time. I genuinely don’t know what my postpartum experience would have looked like without them.

Stasha Gage January 12, 2026

Any family or mother in need of care & support for their family should only look to Queen City Doulas. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care is unmatched. Kaitlyn really takes the time to listen and understand your family's needs - and then finds the perfect match for what will make a difference in your home & family life. We had Noel as our night nurse and I would do ANYTHING for her at this point - she came into our family when our son was newborn and took away any anxiety during those first few months. She taught us things we would have never even considered with a baby that made a difference in our day, healing, and overall adjustment to a bigger family. I will only work with QCD for our family and childcare needs!

Brie Barton January 12, 2026

Erica was my doula and did a great job of being educational about the birth process. She is genuine, warm, and caring, and I would recommend her to any mom giving birth!

Claudia Mejia January 9, 2026

Kimberly was wonderful. Although I ultimately didn’t need her in-person labor services because my baby arrived very quickly, on the way to the hospital, she was available by phone during my intense labor, which made a huge difference. It was incredibly comforting to have her support, and when she recognized how close together my contractions were, she immediately advised me to head to the hospital. Kaitlyn, the owner of Queen City Doulas, is equally amazing, empathetic, kind, and incredibly supportive. She graciously took me on at the last minute and was willing to work within my budget, which I truly appreciate. She also checked in after the birth to see if I needed any additional support. Thank you so much, Kaitlyn 😊

Maureen Nyakaira January 5, 2026

We had such a positive and fulfilling experience with our doula, Syd! She helped us navigate our newborn’s sleep and feeding patterns, guided us thru challenges and, most importantly, cared for our son exceptionally well! We are so thankful for all she’s done for us and would recommend her without any hesitation. Thank you, Syd!!!

Mary Mansour December 30, 2025

Valerie was wonderful to work with postpartum! She helped us with occasional overnight care for our newborn. She always arrived early, followed any of our notes or instructions for the night and is just an incredibly sweet person. When looking for an overnight doula I was very picky and particular, but we always had full trust in Valerie and she was a wonderful fit for our family.

Sommer Scarpino December 27, 2025

I can’t say enough good things about Queen City Doula’s nanny care. Bernice and Ariana were kind, professional, and so easy to trust. They blended into our home and routine seamlessly and offered amazing advice on sleep, feeding, and baby development that actually felt doable and tailored to our baby. My son immediately felt comfortable with them, which meant I could truly relax. We’ll 100% be reaching out again when we need support.

I could not be happier with the support I have received from Queen City Doulas! Suzanne has been such a tremendous support to our family and I now consider her a friend! I’m a first time Mom with a fussier baby and knew I needed help and my only regret is not calling them sooner! We receive so much care during pregnancy but postpartum is often over looked but not with them! Kaitlyn, Suzanne & the entire Queen City Doula team make your care their priority during every stage of motherhood. Thank you will never be enough to express our gratitude!

Stephanie Hoover December 21, 2025

I had a great experience using Queen City Doulas! Both Kristina and Ariana were very professional and great with my son. I definitely could not have survived the first few weeks post-partum without their help and guidance. I highly recommend them both!

Bess Cohen December 10, 2025

QueenCityDoula — a true blessing for new moms and newborns. I cannot say enough wonderful things about QueenCityDoula. From the very beginning, their team brought a level of empathy, flexibility, and humanity that completely set them apart. As a new mom navigating constant changes in my baby’s routine — and my own — I made countless adjustments to my schedule, and not once did they make me feel like it was an inconvenience. Instead, Caitlin and Mackenzie were endlessly accommodating, supportive, and always ready to help me find what worked best for me and my son. Working with Jo, my night doula from their team, has been an absolute blessing. She’s insightful, gentle, and incredibly caring — with both my baby and me. Every night she arrived with warmth, kindness, and a positive spirit that instantly put me at ease. She embraced every task with grace, never questioned a single request, and provided exactly the support I needed on even the most chaotic days. Her presence alone made our home feel calmer and more grounded. What truly stood out about QueenCityDoula is that it never felt like a business transaction. Their priority was always care — genuine, thoughtful, heart-led care. I never felt rushed, pressured, or like I was “just another client.” Instead, I felt held, supported, and truly understood during a vulnerable stage of motherhood. QueenCityDoula has been one of the greatest gifts during my postpartum journey. Their compassion, professionalism, and human touch made all the difference for my family, and I am endlessly grateful for their support. Any new mom would be incredibly lucky to have them by their side.

I've been using Queen City Doulas since my son was born in June, and their night doula services have truly been a lifesaver for our family. We have had the pleasure of working with three doulas, all of whom were wonderful, but I would especially like to recognize Yaa. She consistently goes above and beyond, providing both hands-on support and being a calm, supportive listener during those exhausting early months. Her presence brought us peace, structure, and, most importantly, rest. I can confidently say that the support from Queen City Doulas allowed my husband and me the time to regroup, recover, and catch up on the sleep we desperately needed to function as new parents. If you are looking for compassionate, reliable, and truly exceptional postpartum support, I cannot recommend Queen City Doulas highly enough. They made all the difference for our family.

Pia AH Foard November 27, 2025

Contrate an Ashley Ortiz como doula para mi parto, fue muy professional y me senti mas tranquila al tenerla al lado mio en ese dia. Siempre respondio desde el día uno todas mis dudas, y con mucho calor humano. Y me ayudo mucho que hablara español, ya que es mi primera lengua y los terminos medicos pueden ser confuses en ingles.100 % recomendada!

Gabriela M November 27, 2025

We are so grateful for the incredible care our nighttime doula, Kristina provided for our baby girl. From the very first night, she brought such calm, warmth, and professionalism into our home. She swaddled, cuddled, and soothed our daughter so gently that we could rest knowing she was in the best hands. Not only was she amazing with the baby, but she also went above and beyond—doing dishes, folding laundry, and tidying up the house! Waking up to a peaceful home made such a difference during those early weeks. She was always on time, reliable, and truly a joy to have around. Her support was invaluable to our family, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is compassionate, dependable, and exceptional at what she does, look no further!

Vanessa Crerar November 16, 2025

Queen City Doula’s is wonderful! They are super easy to communicate with and great to work with. I highly recommend using Noel! She is not only a great person, but a wealth of knowledge and always willing to answer questions.

Danielle Lush November 14, 2025

Noel is a wonderful person! She really helped us navigate those first few weeks as new parents. She was extremely knowledgeable about all things baby! She really helped us feel more comfortable as new parents. Noel is kind, caring, attentive and extremely thorough. I really appreciated her insight and she made our newborn experience even easier! She is a gift!

Caitrin Snow November 13, 2025

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Britany! From the very first night, she brought such a calm, nurturing, and positive energy into our home. She cared for our daughter with so much genuine love and tenderness — you can feel how much she truly adores babies and loves what she does. Britany radiates warmth and reassurance, and she made us feel instantly comfortable and supported. Her presence was such a gift during those early months — we were able to rest, breathe, and enjoy our baby knowing she was in the very best hands. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind, but what really stands out is the heart and light she brings into a family’s home. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our journey and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for an overnight doula. 💛

Meredith Nakano November 10, 2025

Incredible service with incredible doulas! Mackenzie and Jenny were fantastic taking care of both me and my baby. Kaitlyn is responsive, attentive, and genuinely cares about your family. I would have been lost without all of them, and 1000% recommend!
