What Clients Say
Richard Jin
Grateful Father
Our family loved working with Saidi doulas as a night doula and has our highest recommendation! We felt confident our newborn was in safe hands when she took over for the night. She has a calm demeanor about her and we could tell our newborn felt very comforted around her. She was a great communicator and flexible with our family's preferences - at the same time given her experience, we knew we could lean on her advice as well. We felt very supported and were able to get some rest. We miss working with them already! If you are looking for an experienced, reliable night doula - we'd highly recommend Saidi Doulas!
