“ Gina's calm and nurturing demeanor were exactly what my baby and I needed. She was a fantastic resource on all things baby as she had literally seen it all in her years of experience. She truly loves what she does; she loves babies (and they love her). I trusted her with my newborn completely.” - Whitney
“I will forever be grateful to Gina and her kindness to our family. I cannot say enough nice things about her and her hard work. Icing on the cake, my son was sleeping through the night before the contract was up! Wow!”
“Hiring Gina Occhipinti as our postpartum doula was hands down one of the best decisions we made. As first-time users of doula support, we were entering unfamiliar territory, and I felt pretty overwhelmed at first. From the beginning, Gina put us completely at ease with her prompt communication and calming presence. She’s incredibly responsive, flexible, and brought a steady, grounding energy into our home right when we needed it most.” - Claudia
“I truly don’t know how we would’ve made it through those first few weeks without her. Every new parent deserves someone like Gina in their corner. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation.”
“Gina was our overnight postpartum doula. She was with us for 12 weeks and was a true gift during those early newborn days. Not only was she incredibly nurturing with our baby, but she was also always on time—never late, not even once!
Gina brought a calm presence into our home each night, allowing us to truly rest knowing our baby was in the best hands. We highly recommend Gina to any parents looking for professional, reliable, and compassionate overnight support. She was an essential part of our postpartum experience and we’re so grateful for her care and support!” - Christine
