Cpdnbda, Franchesca

I met Franchesca during my second trimester with my daughter during the single most difficult and trying time of my life, from day one she has been nothing short of supportive, warm, kind, compassionate and so incredibly caring! As a single mother welcoming a new baby during a very dark, scary, depressing period of my life it felt so daunting and I felt so much uncertainty however throughout the end of my pregnancy and into the other side to postpartum she has provided the most incredible care, going above and beyond for not only my daughter and I, but also my son! From assisting with transitioning into motherhood for a second time, to aiding in introductory of a baby sibling to my son. A helping hand while in recovery from a grueling second cesarean section, she does more than just help physically, but mentally and emotionally as well! I cannot find the words to fully express how eternally grateful I am to have found the pleasure of meeting her and the incredible experience of having her as my doula. She has changed the world of life that is motherhood for me and has been one of the utmost biggest blessings to my children and I. I cannot recommend Franchesca enough to any and everyone possible! Although my daughter will be my last child, I look forward to whatever else time my little family and I get to have with her along our sides now and throughout the future as well, as she is not only so very helpful with the babies, but she is a fantastic listener, filled with phenomenal advice and a lovely sense of humor on top of it all! Her energy is so very peaceful, warm and welcoming and she has continually always made me feel comfortable, brought me back down to a level mind when I have been frazzled, hot headed, frustrated, depressed and everything else in between. If you are looking for a doula, you need not search any further upon finding Franchesca!

Having Franchesca as my doula, as a single mama with a newborn and a 3-year-old, was incredible. From our very first meeting, she radiated peace, warmth, experience and so much humor! Franchesca’s free spirit and authenticity made me feel safe to be myself and express what I was truly feeling. Through her sharing her experiences as a mama, I learned to let go and give myself permission to be human in real time—to stop trying to do everything 'right' and instead, be real. She gave me the opportunity to take breaks and have a night out, to eat and sleep in one sitting, while she cared for my little ones! With her support, I learned how to ask for help and, even more importantly, how to accept it. She helped me clean up, but learn to slow down and remember to prioritize myself and chill time with my boys. A rested (fed) mama is a happy mama. ?? Dishes can be done later! Naps, snacks and snuggle time are priceless ?? I LOVE Franchesca. ?? I truly trust and recommend Franchesca Joseph for postpartum care, baby care, and sibling support. My babies love her. She is amazing with The Little People and truly a blessing to have the pleasure to know!
