Hi Junko! I had to submit this review on your behalf because people need to know just how Flippin indispensable it has been to have you by my side as my birth doula and now as my post recovery specialist and postpartum doula. You gave me the best treatment yesterday with such good quality products used in places in the world that have proven results and I had the pleasure of having in my own home!!! Can't wait to reschedule you for next week with our next appointment for belly binding and more... This morning my abdomen looked so much better and nothing felt greater than relaxing and investing time for me after baby. Thank you!! Loved the royal treatment.

My husband and I hired Junko as our postpartum doula and it was the best decision we could have made. Having never held a baby or changed a diaper prior to having our own baby, the learning curve was steep for us! Adding to this, we are both transplants in Los Angeles and didn't have the luxury of having family or people around to help us during this time due to Covid. Junko was truly a fairy or an angel of sorts for us, we learned so much from her and couldn't have survived our first month as new parents during Covid without her! She knows so much about babies and how best to care for them; she gives fantastic research/data-backed advice when asked without any judgement or biased opinions. She cooked the most delicious, nourishing meals for our family which was a real treat - she even taught us how to make Japanese rice balls in tofu skin - they are amazing! Junko also helped in so many ways that make a huge impact on your day and energy levels with things like: holding baby while you shower and look after yourself (or take a quick nap!), emptying and loading the dishwasher, folding the laundry, cleaning and sanitizing baby bottles/supplies and generally being there to support family. My husband and I felt as nurtured and cared for as I know our precious baby, Bodhi, felt. We will be forever appreciative and grateful for Junko and her impact on our lives during this special time. Junko - thank you so much for everything!
After finding out my family would not be able to help us (thanks to COVID) me and my husband were in a panic. How would we cope as first time parents without any support? We decided to hire a postpartum doula but I was still nervous about having a stranger in the house, seeing me at my worst and possibly encroaching on family time. My fears were immediately settled upon talking to Junko. We weren’t really sure what to expect from a doula but Junko made sure to explain what to expect the first weeks of parenthood and clearly communicated a plan for us which made it so much easier. That being said she was also very accomodating to on the spot needs/situations and was ready to "go with the flow" of our family. I didn’t need to worry about a “stranger” or feeling nervous about looking and feeling my worst, Junko's open friendly attitude made us instantly feel at ease, it was like having a friend or a family member there with you. Junko loves what she does and it shows with her incredibly in-dept knowledgeable about baby care - she knows literally everything!!! She made wonderful suggestions on our babies care that even our paediatrician picked up on later. She taught us so much and we are better, more confident parents because of her! We ended up buying things she recommended and they were perfect for us and saved us so much time and hassle. She is well connected to groups and gave us excellent recommendations on lactation consultants and other support services. It’s easy to feel like a failure and be hard on yourself in those first few weeks but Junko was caring, kind and supportive to me and my husband, it made all the difference. We were so sad when Junko left. In three weeks she became a saviour to our family. We honestly wouldn’t have gotten through it without her. It was hands down the best money we spent. If your thinking about a doula then do yourself/your family/your baby a favour and absolutely 100% hire Junko!
