Both Mabel and Suyin were very helpful throughout my pregnancy. They are passionate in what they do and were very caring to me and my baby. Having them around for the first 3 weeks took a lot of stress and anxiety off of me and my husband. I would recommend Cherry Blossom Doulas to all of my friends. Thank you Mabel and Suyin!

I decided to do belly binding for my second pregnancy postpartum. Suyin was amazing she took her time to show me how to bind my belly and made sure I was comfortable doing it myself. Suyin answered all my questions and concerns. She was easy to talk to, very professional and knowledgeable. Suyin is also very caring she took the time out of her busy schedule to message me on several occasions to see how I was doing. It’s been two weeks and so far the postpartum belly binding has helped with my abdominal muscle heal. Thank you Suyin!

Kim is an angel!  She is very kind, caring and understanding!  She was incredibly supportive and encouraging during the most difficult stages of my labour and delivery.  Kim is also a fountain of knowledge and has always been available to answer my millions of questions.  I’m so grateful Kim was my doula!  I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!  She is a superstar!

As first-time parents, we found Su Yin’s postpartum help during the first 5 weeks after our son’s birth to be instrumental in successfully dealing with all the adjustments of new parenthood.  Su Yin was proactive in checking up with us leading up to our son’s birth, and she was incredibly responsive to all of our questions, whether it was an email at night, or a WhatsApp message in the morning.  Because of her medical training, Su Yin was able to put us at ease and advise us on our son’s health and behaviour.  She gave us helpful, practical tips and always approached all situations with patience and kindness.  Su Yin also prepared healthy, delicious meals that followed traditional Chinese dietary recommendations for new moms, and she helped with light housework without any prompting.  We cannot thank Su Yin enough and highly recommend her as a postpartum doula.

I wish I had asked Su Yin for help right after the delivery of our daughter–it would have been a lot less challenging. But fortunately, we had her help for the second month of my daughter’s life.  Su Yin is very warm and knowledgeable, and her calming presence was always reassuring.  I’d highly recommend her to anyone with a newborn, especially first-time parents.

Suyin has been an integral part of our baby’s well being from the very beginning. She worked with us during pregnancy to birth to the newborn days and now sleep training support for my toddler. J was always a great napper and sleeper, but when he was about 2 and a half, he suddenly became independent, demanding and stubborn. He was suddenly refusing to go down and refusing to let us leave his room. We were held hostages in his room until he decided that it was time for us to leave. We tried leaving when we said we would and every time he would have a major meltdown. It was frustrating and tiring for both of us. One night, we decided to let him cry it out, but he ended up crying so hysterically that he climbed and fell out of his crib. Head first. We were beyond devastated. That is when we reached out to Suyin, desperate for help. First, she soothed our anxieties and then asked for J’s schedule, habits, emotions, everything- full picture! She then made her suggestions. To be honest, I was skeptical, I was thinking there’s no way her strategies would work, but because we were desperate, we stuck to it and tried what she suggested. Magically, within 3 minutes, J understood and calmed down and told us “bye bye Mommy Daddy.” Everyday since has been just as peaceful and calm. J is able to calm down and go to sleep by himself, knowing that Mommy and Daddy are watching and waiting for him. Suyin is a true miracle worker! She has a true understanding of baby/toddler’s every need and desire! Her calm manner, wealth of knowledge and gentle approach is every parent and baby’s dream!

– J’s very happy parents

Suyin was so amazing that I used her for both of pregnancies. The first pregnancy was for labour doula services and second pregnancy was for sleep consultant and also post partum doula services. I went through 22 hours of labour that Suyin helped me through. Second pregnancy I had trouble sleeping around the middle to end of the pregnancy. She did a full assessment and asked a lot of questions to understand the situation and then gave me a list of recommendations to help me sleep better. I found her suggestions very useful and I still use some of her suggestions even a year after my son was born. During post partum, she made sure I got lots of rest and cooked delicious Chinese healing dishes and soups for me and my family. It was so much stress lifted off my shoulders knowing she was coming and helping to feed us and to make sure the baby was ok. She was so knowledgeable and was always so happy and smiling. I would absolutely recommend her.

Having a first baby during a pandemic brought with it many unknowns, but one of the best decisions we made was connecting with a postpartum doula to support us in our transition to parenthood. Andrea has been key in having a relaxed and wonderful first few weeks with our daughter, filled with learning, rest and discovery. She’s been our personal coach and mentor in all things newborn-related, especially breastfeeding and baby care. With her guidance and wealth of experience and knowledge we now have the confidence and skills to be successful caregivers. We’ve loved having Andrea with us during this special time as a new family. Even our 11-month old puppy has welcomed Andrea as part of our family. If we ever have a second baby we wouldn’t hesitate to have Andrea help us again, she’s been amazing and we can’t recommend her enough!

We had the pleasure of having Kim as our doula for the birth of our daughter.  Kim was exactly the support person we didn’t know we needed during labour and delivery.  Kim came prepared to the birth very familiar with our birth wishes and advocated on our behalf to ensure we had the best birth experience possible.  Kim was very professional and knowledgeable and provided excellent suggestions and guidance during labour –  she even reminded me about the jacuzzi tub I had forgotten about!  Post birth Kim supported us with skin to skin and breastfeeding during the golden hour.  We are so grateful for Kim’s birth support!  With her help we were able to have the birth we wanted without pain medications and limited interventions.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kim to any expecting parents.  She is truly a gem!  Thank you again Kim for everything!

Su Yin was referred to us around a week after our daughter was born. At that time my wife and I were exhausted and confused by our daughter, mainly because there was much disconnection between the way that we were taught to handle and the reality.  During the several visits that Su Yin came over,  she offered professional recommendations based on our daughter’s behaviour,  after which we regained confidence as parents and the anxiety level was lowered.  I would recommend Su Yin to other parents who wants hands-on knowledge with their newborns.

We are new to Canada and just had our second child.
I was mentally prepared for a hard time, as we are still adjusting to the new place, the pandemic makes it worse, and there is no family around. But in the midst of these challenges, Yonit proved to be a God’s sent.
After coming back from the hospital, I was weak & frail, but Yonit walked in with a lot of energy and wisdom.
She quickly got a sense of our needs and filled in all the gaps to keep us going. Whether it was cooking us delicious food (with so much love!!) or helping me with my aches and pains, caring for the baby or engaging with my first born, Yonit did it all beautifully.
She helped me understand the baby cues and provide better for her needs.
There were times when I needed emotional support and assurance, Yonit gave all and helped me bounce back to the normalcy of life.
I really commend her for her quick understanding of people and situations, as she gave us all the care while accommodating for our way of life.
She was exceptionally good to my first born, and he grew extremely fond of her and waited for her visit each time ?.
Can’t go without saying that she religiously followed the covid protocols, which gave us so much comfort.
A big big thanks to Yonit for helping us sail through these times ??????.

Love,
Amrita

I had the pleasure of having Su Yin Jordan as my post-partum doula this year in February.  My daughter had a 10-day stretch where she wasn’t breastfeeding or sleeping well, and Su Yin worked her magic in helping us and teaching us how to soothe and settle her.

Su Yin is extremely professional, always punctual,  and has a calming presence.   She has a great listening ear, and provides much advice.  She tries to help as much as possible, even at home she is willing to text us back with solutions to our questions.

As a trained nurse practitioner, I had no qualms asking her medical advice when I felt inflammation/lumps in my breast during breastfeeding.  She quickly told me how to get rid of the lumps which worked wonders.

Lastly, Su Yin provided overnight care to our daughter which brought much sleep and relief to us overtired parents.

I would undoubtedly recommend this caring lady to help you with your postpartum needs.

Suyin’s post partum service has come to a close and both my husband and I can’t have anymore wonderful things to say about her. She provided the much needed support and expertise required. It was especially helpful to have her around when both baby and I had to stay a bit longer at the hospital. She was able to help me cope emotionally and physically a bit better. I will not hesitate to use her again in the future or refer her to any of my friends.

Suyin is a consummate professional and was an indispensable part of my prenatal and postpartum “A Team”. Her postpartum doula colleagues, whom she personally trained and I had the pleasure of meeting, are also excellent. I frankly already miss Suyin and her confident and capable care for both my first son and myself for the time that she was with me. Her background as a midwife in the UK affords her a vastness of knowledge & credibility that far exceeds other ‘night nurses’ you may be interviewing. She is worth every penny of her higher price point and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and everyone. She essentially gave me a crash course in newborn care that provided me with tremendous confidence & allowed me to successfully exclusively breast feed. She is always on time, extremely helpful and giving of herself, and intuitively supportive from both a mental and physical wellbeing perspective. Suyin is a godsend.

I decided to do belly binding for my second pregnancy postpartum. Suyin was amazing she took her time to show me how to bind my belly and made sure I was comfortable doing it myself. Suyin answered all my questions and concerns. She was easy to talk to, very professional and knowledgeable. Suyin is also very caring she took the time out of her busy schedule to message me on several occasions to see how I was doing. It’s been two weeks and so far the postpartum belly binding has helped with my abdominal muscle heal. Thank you Suyin!

My husband and I worked with Suyin for about 3 weeks to help our 10 month old son establish independent sleep and a healthy schedule. She listened well to the needs and concerns of our family, and when she provided a detailed action plan, she made sure that we were in agreement with all of it before starting. When sleep work proved to be difficult, Suyin was always respectful, responsive, emotionally supportive and praised the progress we had made, which was so important because we weren’t so sure if we were even making progress. Even though there are still many kinks to work out with our son’s sleep, the work we did with Suyin was a game changer – all of us are getting more sleep!

Great training Suyin, even though I have already been working as a postpartum doula, it was very informative, well presented and interesting. I loved the games and breakout rooms used to keep the training engaging. Suyin’s passion, expertise and wealth of knowledge went over and above what was expected giving us a strong foundation for the postpartum world.

We were extremely anxious about bringing baby #2 home with a 3.5 year old. We asked Suyin to come help us with the first couple nights to help us get settled at home with a newborn again. With my milk not in yet and a baby that wanted to be held throughout the night, Suyin was exactly what we needed!!! She brought baby to me when it was time to feed and helped with his latch and attended to anything I may have needed. After every feed, she would take baby and sooth him and I could go back to sleep and get adequate rest for the next day. She also helped guide me to establish my supply which was a concern after our first baby. She was amazing and we’re so glad we had her help! Suyin is also extremely patient and willing to share her knowledge.

We are really glad that we hired Su Yin as our doula for the birth of our little girl. We were first time parents and had no idea what we were doing (or just really nervous about our knowledge) and having Su Yin support us during that time helped with our transition as parents, learn new skills, and eased my recovery. Su Yin is both knowledgeable and professional which helped us build our confidence in her. She also has a bubbly character which eases our anxiety, and as an added bonus she is a pretty good cook!

We were lucky enough to have Suyin as both our birth and postpartum doula. She was SO approachable, knowledgable, reassuring and caring. Suyin communicated with us all the time; even when she was on vacation she checked in with us! Suyin taught us a lot and with her knowledge and medical background, it was very easy to trust her. As first time parents, we really needed her guidance through a complicated pregnancy. I am so thankful that Suyin was with us for my baby’s birth. It was a long labour, and as a first time Mom, I didn’t know what to expect. Suyin was so gentle, present and encouraging. When we got home, Suyin took care of Baby, mine and my husband’s needs constantly! I couldn’t imagine going through that whole experience without Suyin’s help! And also as a bonus, her cooking is delicious! 🙂

I’m so glad to have stumbled across Cherry Blossom Doulas and have Suyin come in and support me after the birth of my first child.
