Testimonials
Caroline C.
We hired 3 doulas from Thornhill Doulas for prenatal and postpartum care for our very first baby — Suyin, Marcia and Sarah were all wonderful and very knowledgeable. Their wisdom on newborn care gave us the confidence we needed as new parents. We received helpful tips on breastfeeding, sleep, soothing techniques, bathing, managing baby’s gas and much more. We had Suyin prepare healthy comforting meals for us in our home in the first month and Sarah the following the month. As sleep deprived parents, we can’t imagine surviving those early months without them!

We first had Suyin’s support for overnights when we had our twin girls a few years ago, following a very positive recommendation from a friend. I had so much peace of mind leaving the care of our twins to Suyin as she is very experienced and knowledgeable around a newborn infant’s every needs, and even x2 for twins. She is warm, kind, and supportive so also a positive presence for mamas. We could not have survived that newborn twin phase without the break of Suyin’s overnight support. Thank you, Suyin! Fast forward a few years, and this time, we had a singleton baby but required some overnight support after my husband had surgery. Suyin was able to quickly arrange for Roxanne to provide us with overnight support so that I could attend to my husband without worrying about the baby. Similar to Suyin, it was so easy for me to leave our baby’s care to Roxanne as she is also very knowledgeable and experienced with a newborn infant’s every needs. She is also warm, kind and supportive and a wonderful support to the mama. My husband was able to get the rest he needed for his recovery, and I was also able to get the rest I needed to care for my husband and other kids. It was so nice to wake up to a happy and well fed and well slept baby. Thank you, Roxanne!

My husband and I hired Thornhill Doulas for postpartum care for my second child and we are so happy we did! The Thornhill Doula team- Seemal, Kim and Suyin were our saving grace. We hired them for the early morning care and we were able to get some sleep while they took care of my newborn and entertain my preschooler. They took such good care of all of us. I would highly recommend them!

I had the most positive experience with Thornhill Doulas! They were extremely accommodating and beyond helpful! Suyin provided support to me both during my pregnancy and after my baby was born and always made me feel so at ease whenever I had concerns. Kim also assisted me with my newborn and was wonderful! I am so grateful for these ladies!

We are so grateful to Thornhill Doulas and our night doula Kim for giving us the rest that we desperately needed. Being first time parents to twins, we were unprepared for the sleepless nights to come! Kim was extremely knowledgeable and supportive; she cared for our twins with patience and ease. We highly recommend Kim and Thornhill Doulas!

Thornhill Doulas is the highest calibre postpartum doula service in Toronto; I may be biased as I used them for an extended period subsequent to giving birth to each of my children, but I believe they are truly the best – Suyin is extremely professional and runs her business like a tight ship – she is one of the most knowledgable people I know and I have come to rely on her expertise for a variety of subjects ranging from my care as a pregnant and postpartum woman to that of my babies running the gamut from baths to nursing to feeding to sleep etc. For my latest baby, Andrea Lorenzo came to support me for over a month – if you have the opportunity to have Andrea in your home, jump at the chance. She made my life infinitely easier, calmer and happier with her presence. She is thoughtful, kind, gentle, and she has a magic touch with babies; she provided a shoulder to cry on (postpartum hormones!), an ear to patiently listen and the most capable hands taking care of my newborn baby daughter in my bedroom while I rested and slept soundly. She was indispensable to my transition from one child to two, and I feel privileged to know her. I recommend Thornhill Doulas emphatically and without hesitation to any family looking for support.

My husband and I were so grateful to have a colleague recommend Petra to us when our first child arrived and quickly taught us a lesson in newborn sleep (or lack thereof)! We were so grateful for her warm and understanding presence and knowledge during those challenging newborn nights. When we found out we were expecting a second child a few years later, we quickly asked Petra for her assistance again. She also connected us with a wonderful postpartum daytime doula. We will be forever grateful for her support and guidance during those magic, but challenging, early weeks of parenthood.

If you’re considering hiring a doula, I highly recommend thornhill doulas! I don’t know what we would have done without our postpartum doula. Marcia provided so much practical and emotional support during those first few weeks of parenthood. She helped us navigate breastfeeding, newborn care, and sleep issues, and her presence was a calming influence during a stressful time.

I managed to find Thornhill Doulas while desperately searching the net for postpartum help before I gave birth. My husband and I moved to Toronto a couples years ago and left all our family behind in Trinidad. So help was desperately needed. From the initial contact with Suyin my mind was set at ease. I knew this would be a great fit for my growing family. Suyin put me in contact with Marcia who would eventually become our Doula and care for my son. The experience was exceptional. Marcia not only provided care for my son but she was also a safe space for me during my postpartum phase. She came with lots of knowledge on a whole host of topics and let me tell you, as a first time mom this was super helpful and reassuring. Not only did Thornhill Doulas provide me with care but they even helped me find someone to perform weekly in home cleaning! I am so grateful to this agency and everyone I have met along the way through them. I highly recommend Suyin and her team for all your Doula needs!

My husband and I participated in the Preparing for Life with a Newborn virtual workshop with Petra. We learned so much and definitely feel like we have a good foundation of knowledge to get us through the first few life-changing months with our newborn. Petra shared a lot of content/videos/links, as well as tons of tips that I know we will be referring back to frequently. We highly recommend this course to any new parents. We are so grateful that we were introduced to the Thornhill Doulas! Thanks for everything!
