I hired Isabel from doulamatch for my birth last October, and I couldn't imagine the experience without her! Isabel was friendly, professional and really respectful my preferences while supporting me before, during, and after birth.
After I first contacted Isabel, she came to my home to meet me and my husband. We had two meetings prior to labour where she was really organised with questionnaires and information covering things I hadn't considered. We also met her backup doula in case we needed to use a backup in a pinch. When in labour, Isabel came to the hospital and stayed with us for about 16 hours. Her massage, breathing techniques and support considering further intervention was invaluable. Around 6-8 weeks post partum, we had a debrief on the experience which I found really helpful as I could not remember a lot of labour. Her package included a 4-hour post partum session which was great.
Overall, I would recommend Isabel to any expecting family in the Southern California area. She was responsive and a great communicator. Isabel had recently begun working as a doula before my birth, however you could not tell! She was so knowledgeable and great with out baby from years of experience as a nanny.
