“As a first time mom, giving birth to twins coupled with postpartum anxiety and depression, I was feeling overwhelmed and in a really low spot. I am a medical student, so we couldn’t afford to hire support. I had never heard of a postpartum doula until Anna from Helping Hands came into my life! My newborn experience changed that day! Anna provided much needed relief in the form of infant care, light housework, and an ear to listen and give advice. I cannot describe the feeling of waking up from a nap after a sleepless night to the laundry cleaned and folded, the bottles washed and the babies fed and changed. The work that Anna provides is invaluable and I’m forever grateful she entered our lives. Everyone should have this kind of support, and I urge anyone with newborns to take advantage of the life changing service that Helping Hands provides!”
