Turning a difficult situation Into a successful, positive and even magical experience
Angelica helped make a difficult situation successful – into something positive, and even magical. Her knowledge and support along the way helped us make informed decisions that we felt comfortable with.
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.

Two fantastic doulas
In that incredibly demanding moment, Angelica sent us her best resources – and clearly took the time to give precise instructions to help us beyond our expectations.
Just wanted to say how grateful we are for having had you as our primary doula, and thank you for arranging for Michelle to be there for us (as the backup). She was absolutely fantastic, and you clearly took your time to give her precise instructions to help us beyond our expectations. In that incredibly demanding moment, you send us your best resources. I'm beyond grateful – we had the privilege of not having one, but two fantastic doulas!

Comforting and easy to talk to
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.
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!

An invaluable asset to an unexpected induction
Angelica guided us to making the best decision for both my and my baby's health, and worked with me through breathing, laboring, and soothing techniques when the times got tough.
If anyone is considering hiring a doula, I'd like to recommend Angelica Kennedy. She's a fellow Sunnyside mom, and a recently certified doula. Her care and services were an invaluable asset to my unexpected induction.
I was supposed to be induced on January 22nd (BP issues) but was induced on January 10th (for same issues). It was 45 hours of labor that ended in a c-section. Angelica guided me over the phone for the first 17 or so hours when we were still expecting a vaginal birth, and was at the hospital in less than an hour once things got serious. Throughout the whole process, she asked thoughtful questions of both the doctors and myself to try to keep us to the original birth plan because she knew how important it was to me. When the plans started to dramatically shift for medical reasons (and I and my husband weren't ready to accept) she guided us to making the best decision for both my and my baby's health. She also worked with me through breathing, laboring, and soothing techniques when the times got tough. She stayed with us at the hospital for over 24 hours and didn't rush us to make any decision. She stayed during and after the c-section to make sure I was ok even though she couldn't meet the baby.
If you're on the fence, I encourage you to have a conversation with Angelica. Both my husband and I agreed the process would've been much more difficult without her help.
