Parent Support with Soil & Sprout

---

 “Shahla’s support was truly the saving grace during a stressful feeding phase of my newborn caregiving journey. She met me and my baby with a calm, soothing energy and supported both my physical and emotional needs effortlessly. Shahla was more than just another set of helping hands - she made me feel like there was someone in the trenches with me; not just offering advice from the sidelines, but being fully present and hands on with me and my baby. Beyond supporting my physical needs and household chores, Shahla provided emotional support - helping me process the emotions of the day and my parenting journey. She’d help me to re-frame negative thought cycles and provide alternative ways to process and approach my caregiving. Shahla also had a breadth of guidance and references for other support services beyond doula care (e.g. lactation, craniosacral). Undoubtedly Shahla’s support got me through a stressful few weeks and I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend Shahla to anyone needing support during their newborn parenting journey.”

"Shahla was my guiding light when I had no one else to turn to. When your baby joins the NICU, we become part of an exclusive club. If she hadn't been so willing and generous with sharing her story prior, I wouldn't have known who to reach out to to help me with what would eventually become my 129-day NICU experience. She gave me the space to seek guidance when I was clueless, vent in moments of frustration, and provide leads to resources when needing the expertise of others. She did all this while providing a safe space, free of judgement and complete understanding of how complex and sensitive our journey could be. Because of her, I never felt alone during a time that could have been incredibly dark, scary, and isolating. For that, my family and I are truly grateful."

"Shahla, thank you so much for your incredible support, guidance, and care throughout both pregnancy and birth. There are so many questions you helped to answer and reassurance you were able to provide. Having all of your support really helped bolster confidence throughout a wonderful but chaotic time."

 “I am forever grateful to Shahla for supporting me through one of the most magical moments of my life! 

From the moment we first met, I loved her energy and knew she would be exactly the support system I needed. Throughout the entire process—from prenatal check-ins to postpartum visits—Shahla showed such genuine care for my health and my experience. She doesn't just do her job; she puts her whole heart into it. Thank you, Shahla, for everything!”
