TESTIMONIALS
Lisa is a supportive, caring, and sincere person who brings positive and calming energy to the room. She has gone above and beyond helping me and my family cope with challenges postpartum. I highly recommend her!
I highly recommend Lisa to all moms.
Lisa helped us for six weeks when our third child was born. Although I was not a first time mom, it had been 4 years since my second child arrived and Lisa was an invaluable resource for me in all things related to baby. Lisa was so calm and natural with our daughter; she made me immediately feel at ease. When Lisa was with us, I was able to truly relax and get some real rest as I felt so confident that our baby was in good hands. She was also a pleasure to have around. My husband and I were sad when our six weeks with Lisa was over, not only because she had been so helpful, but also because we were going to miss talking with her!
I wish I had Lisa with me when my second son was born. He was a colicky baby, and I was recovering from a challenging birth. Lisa’s warm and nurturing personality would have been just what I needed to support me through that highly sensitive post-partum experience.
Lisa was absolutely amazing in helping me when I became a mother of twins! She was so helpful in helping me get the rest I needed, helping around the house, reassuring me when I had doubts & just being a listening ear. I would highly recommend Nurtured Foundation to anyone looking for some help after having a baby (or two…or three…).
