When we started NEDS, the goal was never simply to “grow a business.”

It was to create support that felt human.

Support that helps families feel less alone.
Less overwhelmed.
More held.
More confident.
More connected.

Over the last few years, we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside families through:
• late night newborn shifts
• postpartum recovery
• NICU stays
• sleep struggles
• feeding challenges
• emotional transitions
• vulnerable moments of early parenthood

So being named a Boston Parents Paper Family Favorite finalist honestly means so much to us because it reflects the trust our community continues to place in NEDS every single day.

This recognition belongs just as much to our village as it does to us 🩵

If NEDS has supported your family, encouraged you, educated you, or helped you feel a little less alone, we would be incredibly grateful for your vote.

At NEDS, we know families remember more than just the support they received.

They remember how they felt in your presence.

Safe.
Seen.
Less alone.
More confident.
More held.

That’s the kind of care we believe in.

We’re currently looking to expand our team with doulas who value compassionate, evidence-informed, relationship centered support and who genuinely care about meeting families where they are.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to connect 🤍

The Details:
🌟 Minimum of 5 years experience as a postpartum doula or newborn care specialist
🌟 A passion for supporting families during the 4th trimester
🌟 Must work well in a supportive, team dynamic and be willing to collaborate with other postpartum doulas & newborn care specialists

Summer schedules tend to throw everything off.

Travel.
Late bedtimes.
Skipped naps.
Sleeping somewhere new.
Trying to get back into a routine afterward.

And suddenly everyone feels exhausted.

That’s actually one of the reasons we host our monthly “Speed Dating with a Sleep Coach” calls.

We promise, you’re not failing! Sometimes you just need a space to ask questions, troubleshoot, and feel a little less overwhelmed.

Whether you’re navigating newborn sleep, toddler transitions, travel disruptions, or just wondering if this is normal, Courtney is here to help.

🗓 Wednesday, May 20
⏰ 2–3 PM EST
💻 Virtual + free to join

Comment "sleep" and we'll send you the direct link!

And if you can’t make it live but still need support, you’re always welcome to reach out separately too 🤍

"A Mother’s Day Reflection: The Power of Showing Up" 🫶 🌷

There is a certain kind of presence that changes everything for a child. Sometimes she is called “Mom.” Sometimes she is a nurse on the overnight shift, a residential counselor holding steady through hard moments, a doula protecting those early hours, or a caregiver who simply shows up, again and again, until trust begins to grow.

This reflection is about that presence. What it does. Why it matters.
And how it quietly shapes a child’s beginning. 🩷
