Having Diana as our doula completely changed my birth and postpartum experiences for the best!  I was referred to her by a friend and I couldn't be more grateful. 

Not only is she extremely competent at what she does, she is also very warm and sensitive, which helped me feel at ease before giving birth.  She gave me a lot of practical advice that helped me prepare for labor and bringing the baby home. 

Having Diana on call in the weeks leading up to my birth gave both my husband and I great peace of mind.  She came to the hospital right away when I began my labor and was with us the entire time (28 hours).  Diana had a friendly rapport with the hospital staff that helped me feel like everything ran smoothly.  My husband was even able to rest for a few hours knowing that Diana was by my side the whole time.  I trusted her advice at every turn and had an overall very good birthing experience.

Once our baby was born, as first time parents we were nervous to spend the first few nights at home.  Having Diana here with us was a huge help and comfort.  We learned so much!  Now five months later, we're still calling her for advice and to keep in touch. For my next birth, I will absolutely choose Diana again.

Diana is an incredibly strong, energetic, intuitive, and warm individual. From our first Zoom interview, I felt an immediate connection with her. As my due date approached, we met a few times in person, and while I was thrilled to get to know her better, I couldn’t help but wonder how I would navigate such a monumental life change with someone I hadn’t known for long.

When the time came for my delivery, Diana quickly became my rock. Despite several complications, she was by my side at every stage, offering unwavering support and invaluable knowledge. Her presence instilled confidence in the quick decisions we had to make. I labored for two days, with Diana right there through every contraction, only stepping away for two brief 20-minute breaks.

I feel incredibly blessed and fortunate to have had her support. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. My baby was born happy and healthy, and I attribute much of that to Diana’s exceptional care.

Diana was our birth doula for our first baby. I seriously don't know how I would've made it through labor and delivery without her. She created a peaceful atmosphere and helped me make decisions with both the pros and cons and my preferences in mind throughout a long labor. She told me when to rest and when I needed to move into various positions to help labor progress. She also provided support before and after delivery and gave me resources to help with a newborn. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking support in their pregnancy and delivery journey.

We were so lucky to have Diana in our lives when we brought home our first baby. She helped us navigate those difficult first nights and made what could have been a rough transition to a really wonderful time! The gamechangers for us were getting that additional breastfeeding help, having extra sleep, and knowing what to expect in our first months with baby. Diana really calmed our first time parent anxiety: all the information and support she provided helped make us better parents, and the extra sleep we got made us more present for our baby during the day. We can't even begin to describe how much we appreciate and loved having Diana, and I'd recommend her to any parents bringing a newborn home!

Diana felt like a part of our family since the moment we met her when I was in my third trimester of pregnancy. I am so thankful for all the helpful resources, exercises and tips she provided during my pregnancy to prepare me well for labor. We talked through my birth plan and preferences and she provided research based advice on questions I had about pain management and labor progression interventions. When I went into labor a few days early, Diana consistently was checking in via phone and text to help my husband support and mediate my contractions until we got to the hospital. At the hospital Diana was a huge advocate for my comfort and positioning to help my labor progress and made the hospital room enviroment very relaxing and peaceful with massages, lavender scented lotions and meditation music playing in the background. I felt so at ease with her presence knowing she was willing to embrace all the nitty gritty rawness of labor with me. She coached me through delivery and helped baby latch for nursing which I credit to his amazing ability to latch and feed right away! Her postpartum visits assisted with my healing and educating us on taking care of our newborn as first time parents. I feel so lucky to have been able to have Diana for my first pregnancy + delivery and hope to continue having her be a part of our child's life!

Diana was an amazing doula for us. She provided emotional and educational support throughout the initial postpartum period and was invaluable to our experience. Our baby had a severe tongue tie and other related issues and she helped us find lactation consultants to support the breastfeeding journey (and attended several appointments with us) and a dentist to release the tongue tie. She checked in constantly even when she wasn't there and offered around the clock support. She taught us how to baby wear, prepare formula, clear a diaper rash, etc. She helped us transition into parenthood and we are so grateful for her support!

Diana was an INCREDIBLE doula! My husband and I are first time parents and other than our parents (who went through this decades ago) we didn't have anyone to go to for guidance or advice. Diana quickly felt like family, even from the first ZOOM interview. Many interviews felt very impersonal and more like a business conversation. To some, that might be what they are looking for, but we were looking for comfortability and someone we would be able to go through the most intimate time of our lives with. Beyond Diana's extensive experience (which she would do much better going through that great list!) she is just an overall caring and compassionate person. She checked in before and after the birth EXSTENSIVELLY! She asked how we were doing, asked about our families, and most importantly always wanted updates on our little guy. She was an advocate for us at the hospital, which I credit to my smooth delivery that couldn't have gone any better! She set the tone of the room and even the hospital staff said they wanted to spend the day with us it was so peaceful and calming.  Diana had no judgement on any of decisions as far breastfeeding, immunizations, shots, epidural, or anything. She helped us make informed decisions that were best for our family. Anyone would be lucky to have Diana as their doula and I can only hope it will work out for future children to have her right alongside us again.  I would HAPPILY be a reference or share this information with anyone who is considering Diana.

Our experience with Diana has been amazing from the start. Hiring her as our birth doula was the best decision we made.

Diana's approach was perfect for me and I have to say she’s the reason I was able to achieve the unmedicated birth I envisioned. I even asked for the epidural at one point but her coaching and reassuring presence really helped me through it.

During labor, she advocates for you, reminds you of your goal and she helped me through each contraction through different positions, walking, breathing, etc. Also, in the moment you’re asked questions by the staff and for me it wasn’t super easy deciding an answer because I was so focused on contractions and all that so having her to consult with was perfect, she really helped guide me with making decisions I felt confident with because she’s very knowledgeable.

During postpartum she’s been so helpful with any questions I have. As a first time mom I get nervous but she really provides me comfort and reassurance of the things I’m doing or any questions related to my baby too. She’s also accessible any time of the day and night during pregnancy and postpartum so that’s a bonus! I think no matter how you envision your birth, she will help you achieve it and if things go differently she’ll still help make the experience a great one.

As someone who had a birth doula with both of my babies, I can honestly say Diana over exceeded my expectations. She was so motherly, caring, calm and most importantly she has an amazing calm energy. I will forever be greatful for her for making my birthing experience such a positive experience. She was constantly reassuring me during my unmedicated birth through massages, rubbing my back, hugs and loving words. It felt like I had my mom there but a lot more calm and capable version of her. She is the best. I would not hesitate one bit if I ever need another birth doula and if I could afford her, hiring her as postpartum doula everyday :)

As grandmother for the first time and my daughter being a first time mom these moments are precious and personal. Diana from the first meeting felt like an angel sister that came in and made everyone feel at home and safe with the new baby on its way. We were able to labor at home until it was time to go to the hospital. The calming effect Diana had on my daughter and mostly me was invaluable. For three months Diana helped navigate schedule and breast feeding help along with deliscious foods to keep moms milk coming in. I wouldn't have wanted to have anyone else in their home but Diana.

Diana supported me and my husband during the birth of our son and throughout the first months postpartum. I truly don’t know what I would have done without Diana; I feel like I survived postpartum because of her. If you are considering hiring a doula, you have found one of the BEST. She is caring, attentive, sensitive, supportive, knowledgeable, thoughtful and loves the babies she cares for as her own. Instantly, Diana felt like she was apart of our family. My needs came above anything and everything else. There was not one area of expertise that she didn’t have some experience in and if she didn’t have an answer, she had the resources to find it. When you meet her you can feel her energy and her warmth. She makes your feel powerful and capable. She takes the time to teach you along the way so you can build a foundation as first time parents, overcome fears and first time challenges and be confident in this new role. Our lives changed because Diana was in. She is forever a part of our family and we are eternally grateful for how she shaped our experience.

Diana is an angel! I didn't plan on having a postpartum doula, but after being home from the hospital for 2 days I realized I depserately needed one. I didn't have anything set up or know what to expect but Diana was instantly warm, helpful and comforting. She is so knowlegeable, and has such an amazing positive energy. As a first time mom, she took charge in a kind comforting way that I so desperately needed. She immediately identified severe swelling in my feet and legs and was able to bring it down with massage. She made me healthy overnight oats to eat for breakfast, she was amazing with my newborn daughter, but even more amazing for me. We got sick and she brought homemade soup and ginger tea. She taught me how to give my daughter a bath for the first time. It was like having a mom with me (mine was across the country), and it wasn't intrusive at all to have her in our home overnight. She would check in during the day, answer all questions about the baby, share amazing tips for everything from sleep to breastfeeding and explain all the changes my postpartum body was going through. There were days that I would count the hours until she came over at night because I needed her support, emotionally and physically with the baby. I cannot recommed Diana enough, I couldn't have gotten through that period without her and I still miss her!

We are so lucky to have Diana as our postpartum doula. She is proactive, knowledgeable, constructive but loving. As a new mom who just went thru labor and needed to take care of myself and a newborn, I was so tired, stressed and clueless. Diana guided us thru the first couple weeks and taught us how to deal with certain situations. For example, the second night I had engorgement and was in pain, Diana helped massage me every time I was breastfeeding. She also provided so much love for our baby girl and our girl felt very comfortable around her. We consider her as part of our family and would love to have her back in the future!

Where do I even begin... to say that Diana has been an angel sent from heaven would be an understatement. We have had the pleasure of working with her for the past 8 months and I can say with one hundred percent certainty that we are in such a great place with our baby because of her. Our situation was a little out of the oridinary in that we started with Diana when our daughter was 4 months old. We were with another doula from  the time she was born until she was 4 months old and then because my husband is in the military and had to move away i needed help for an extended period of time. From the moment Diana walked into our home with in seconds you can tell that you are dealing with an expert. Let me tell you there is no better feeling as a new first time than knowing that the calvalry had arrived to help lead the way. Diana is loving and confident and our baby immediately felt calm with her. Her many years of experience allows her to be unshakeable because likely she has seen any situation before. All i can say is that if you are considering hiring a doula you would not regret hiring her. There are many silly things that we spend money on when it comes to our children most of which are toys, clothes or gadjets that end up in the trash or being donated. I believe that having an expert with you during these early stages is actually an investment in your baby and your familys physical and emotional well being. OUr daughter and my husband and i are well rested and happy because of the tools that we were given early on. this allows us to cherish moments that most people miss because they are so exhausted.

thank you,

I honestly can't say enough good things about Diana Roth. As a first time dad, I was nervous and a bit scared when we brought our daughter home for the first time.  Diana was able to put my wife and I at total ease by caring for our newborn and teaching us the best way to care for our daughter and ourselves. Her knowledge of caring for babies is unmatched to anything I have encountered.  Our daughter absolutely loves her and she is now a part of our family. Having Diana as our doula was the best decision we made for our new family.

To me was a fortune to had Diana as my Doula. I felt her support since day 0, multiple phone calls to check on me before the childbirth made me feel confident, she visited me right after I derived my baby boy and helped me with breastfeeding immediately. My baby had jaundice and she gave us great advices and helped us in the process for getting Valentino's bilirubin levels stable. I'm from Colombia and all my family is back there so it was amazing to have her with me during my postpartum period, we talked a lot and she helped me to go though some sadness during the process, her emotional support was like having my mom here with me. Diana brought me some beautiful Colombian dishes to nourish and heal my body. She is very sweet, organized, puntual, confident, she knows what she is doing and her love for the babies is genuine and my baby loves her, he felt very comfortable with her. It was such a good treat being able to sleep without worrying about getting up with the baby because she was here for me to helped me and support me during the night. I'll be forever thankful with Diana for all the things she did for my family.

To Whom It My Concern,

I am writing to highly recommend Diana Roth as a doula for your postpartum journey. Diana was hired to assist me with daytime postpartum care from July 2022 – August 2022. Diana is kind and patient with both mother and baby. She is incredibly knowledgeable of postpartum and baby care and can make recommendations that work with your lifestyle. She helped me establish a routine to help manage almost exclusively pumping, milk storage, and helped me understand baby’s cues for eat, play, sleep cycles. Diana also assisted with meal prep options for a mom on-the-go.

One of the most valuable skills Diana provided me was nursing my baby again. From my son’s birth I was pretty discouraged with nursing and was told that my baby did not latch well. When I expressed to Diana that I wish I could try nursing occasionally, Diana encouraged me and helped facilitate a positive environment for both me and my son. I now nurse my son multiple times a day as well as bottle-feed, and it is a perfect blend of the two for my family. Diana’s compassion, encouragement, and knowledge has made me a more confident mother and I would recommend her to any family looking for postpartum support.

 

Sincerely,

Courtney

where do I start? She was so loving supportive and an amazing cook. I want to have another baby just so I could work with her again  

trust me she is worth every single dime. 

she went as far as to massage my breast when I had mastitis. She would come to Lactation meetings with me, cook for me, take care of my baby, and basically was like a therapist

Diana stepped in for multiple days as a back up for our original nighttime postpartum doula when she got sick. She went above and beyond to make sure that I was fully relieved of mommy duties except for feeding so I could rest.

What I appreciated most about her is that she is proactive in anticipating my needs and the baby’s needs and is clearly an expert. The first thing she did when she arrived was encourage me to turn off my baby monitor so I wouldn’t have to worry about him now that she was here.

Diana is thoughtful, compassionate, and caring balanced with knowledgeable and experienced - the best combination! She also has strong communication skills so I always felt we were on the same page. You can tell that she takes her profession seriously, knows what she’s doing, and genuinely cares for her clients. If you are looking for a doula to support you, you will get top notch excellence with her. I would choose her in a heartbeat again.

Diana Roth came to work for my family the weekend we brought my baby boy home from the hospital. He had a severe case of jaundice and was under close medical watch, with the potential for a NUCU admit. From the moment we met her we began to feel more at ease. Her years of experience and calming presence immediately helped to alleviate my worries and she knew exactly how to care for my baby.

Diana played a significant role in guiding me around my breastfeeding journey, which she knew was so important to me. She was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely supportive with this.

Diana has now been working with us for almost 3 months and my whole family loves her. She puts her heart and soul into her work. She is professional, responsible, respectful, and caring. She has gone above and beyond to help, and I feel incredibly blessed to have received her support on our postpartum journey. She is a wonderful doula and I wholeheartedly believe she is one of the main reasons our family has transitioned so smoothly during this vulnerable time in life. 

I highly recommend her and I hope your family is as lucky as mine to have the opportunity to work with her.
