My expierence with Dinorah was amazing! I'm very thankful for her. When I first met her, we got to know each other and started my birth plan. She would answer all my questions and her advice would help me make the right decisions. She would also tell me if I had anymore questions to not hesitate to email her which made it more comfortable for me to ask my questions. The day she came in when I was in labor, she got caught up with what was currently happening. Then she started putting essential oils everywhere which I wanted. It helped so much. During my contractions, she helped me breathe and advised me to use my low voice to breath out. She also massaged my lower back when it was needed through my contractions. She guided me through it all. We were restricted to some stuff due to my preclampsia but even with the restrictions she found ways to help me. She would run hot water on my back to ease some contractions and showed me different positions to help as well. I'm so grateful for her!!

My birth experience was made so much better with Dinorah's support and presence! This was my second pregnancy and I my first journey as a surrogate. This pregnancy was much more challenging than my pregnancy with my son. I unexpectedly had to get induced at 37 weeks due to gestational hypertension and, although her on-call had not technically started, she was available by phone right away and came to the hospital when I needed her.

Her soothing and gentle presence was so helpful in the birth room! The pitocin contractions were intense and they had some difficulty getting the epidural in. Dinorah helped me breathe through everything.

She used essential oils to make the room feel more inviting. Peppermint really helped with my nausea and vomiting while laboring(as did her tying up my hair for me!). She also helped support my husband during the process.

She was with me every step of the way and I couldn't be more grateful! I highly recommend Dinorah!!!
