Davina was an amazing friend and help after birth with my twins. She was there for me to physically assist with my newborns and support me emptionally after a c section and along the road after birth with my moods shifting and my use of time so new to me.  Davina comes highly recommended!!!

First off, let me start by saying how caring and “in-tune” Doula Davina made me feel with my body. I never thought I would need or want a doula but her presence was honestly so helpful and beneficial in hastening the progress of my labor and birth. This was my third child and the first time I had the doula experience.

Davina is such a loving and caring person; she has been through the birthing process herself - so she knows how laboring mothers must feel. The empathy and personalized attention she shared throughout my pregnancy and labor really helped me realize that I have a steadfast partner in the process- and that I was never alone.

She helped me realize that with breathing and concentration, my husband and I could bring a baby into the world naturally, without any epidural or numbing medication. As labor can be a very stressful, hazy and forgetful time for mothers (to be), she reviewed the things we learned about very calmly and when doctors wanted to do anything, she would always ask me first and explain to me what was going on.

She was emotionally available for me and my husband; but also knew her boundaries. If I wanted alone time, she totally let me be and was simply “at my service” when I asked for her.

She was such a wonderful match for me and I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a supportive and loving advocate who will keep you relaxed and calm (as possible) throughout this beautiful journey and attend to your wants and needs every step of the way.

I had Davina there for my second birth. i wanted to do a natural birth without any pain intervention since my first I was induced that led to me getting an epidural and having a very hard recovery. So having a lot of support for that was important to me. Having Davina there and having her encouraging words and hand to hold helped me through labor. I was actually about to give in to having an epidural when the nurse told me I didnt progress since 2 1/2 hours of being there and I didn’t know if I could endure Anymore of the contractions because I thought I had to have been close. Davina suggested I change position and get out of bed and try laboring leaned over the bed. The moment I did that I felt my baby coming and my water broke standing up and I caught my little ones head and the nurses caught her behind me! It was magical, amazing, and quick! i got to have the natural birth I envisioned for myself. I would highly recommend a doula at your birth if you are thinking about one. They come to support you and help you and that is exactly what Davina did for me. Thank you Davina!
