This review is way overdue because the services received from Marlene were top tier. She was my virtual doula as am located in the States but that did not stop her from pouring her heart and soul into my growing family and pregnancy. I ended up having a more complicated pregnancy, suffered from gestational diabetes and after 16 hours of labors had to have an emergency c section. Marlene knew how bad wanted to have my baby naturally, she helped me prep my body with all the correct exercises and healthy regimes to get my body ready. I was very disappointed in my body and having to have a surgery. It was because of her emotional support, empathy and kindness was able to push through and not dwell on things that were out of my control. I felt irrational and overly emotional the whole pregnancy and Marlene did an amazing job grounding me and letting me know that was not alone and what was feeling was normal. he was there for both my husband and I, day or night. I can't Fay enough good things about her! learned so much from her, Jearned more things from her with my second pregnancy than lid with my first. She is very knowledgeable, is always trying to educate herself further and her love for what she does truly hines through her work. THANK YOU MARLENE!
