Choosing Patty to support us through our VBAC was truly one of the most empowering and transformative decisions we could have made. After a previous cesarean, I had a lot of emotions and uncertainty going into this birth. From our first conversation, Patty provided reassurance, deep knowledge, and unwavering support that made me believe a VBAC was not only possible, but absolutely within reach.
Throughout pregnancy, she educated us on our options, advocated for evidence-based care, and helped us prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically. She was always available to answer questions, ease fears, and cheer us on every step of the way.
When labor began, Patty was an anchor. She brought calm, strength, and incredible energy into the room. Her pain relief techniques, emotional encouragement, and constant presence were absolutely key to making this VBAC possible. She worked seamlessly with our medical team and never stopped reminding me of my inner resilience.
And then I did it. I had the healing VBAC I had dreamed of, and I truly believe she was an integral part.
I cannot recommend Patty highly enough. She believed in me even when I had doubts and helped me reclaim my birth experience with strength, grace, and joy.
