Kennedy, Angelica

Angelica truly exceeded our expectations for the level of care a doula can provide. Throughout our pregnancy she was our advocate and guide. Angelica is so caring, such a good listener, and we really appreciated how balanced and well-educated her advice always was. Whenever we had to make difficult decisions during our preganancy (e.g., an elective amniocentisis, an induction due to elevated BP), she was there every step of the way, offering the pros and cons, scientific evidence and statistics, and support of whatever decision we made. She cultivated a relationship where no question ever felt too silly, where we felt fully comfortable with her, and trusted her during this often nerve-racking time. Not to mention, she has been so incredibly helpful postpartum as well - both with caring for our baby and ourselves. We would recommend Angelica wholeheartedly to anyone!

Angelica was recommended to me by another Sunnyside mom. From the first phone call, Angelica was incredibly comforting and easy to talk to, which was crucial for me when choosing a doula. I knew I was in a safe, judgment-free zone where I was given the space to make decisions that were best for my family. As first time parents without much family close by, having a baby during a global pandemic, Angelica was exactly the support we needed. Her passion and expertise got us through those nerve-wracking weeks and days before I went into labor. She prepared us to navigate stressful decisions and proved to be an amazing source of calm during the birth experience. Angelica is not only a doula, but a friend. We are so lucky to have found her!

My husband and I worked with Angelica for our first pregnancy and had an incredible experience. We originally planned a natural birth together, but I ended up requiring a c-section at 39 weeks. Angelica’s support and guidance during this time was incredibly helpful and made a difficult situation, successful and into something positive and even magical. Her knowledge and support along the way helped us make informed decisions that we felt comfortable with. Angelica was there as soon as my baby was born to help with first latch, and was warm and caring the entire time. I can not stress enough how helpful and loving her presence was at every part of our experience. Angelica also helped with breastfeeding postpartum and gave me the most gentle and successful advice I received to ensure my baby was properly latching. Angelica was extremely respectful of our wishes while being incredibly knowledgeable and caring. I can not recommend her enough and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made.
