Review for Renee
We couldn’t have been happier to have chosen Renee for the birth of our first son in April 2025. From the first meeting we knew that she was the perfect match for us- calm, thoughtful, attentive and extremely resourceful. She kept in close communication throughout the period, and was readily available to answer any questions we had.
As my due date approached and went by, she provided incredible emotional support reassuring me to trust my body and the natural process.
The labor ended up being extremely long and difficult. It was met with unexpected challenges, forcing us to make many difficult choices. Renee truly shined during the long labor, knowing exactly how to help in each changing moment and providing physical and emotional comfort. When we had to deviate from our original birth plan, she helped us navigate through our decision making, knowing what is most important for us- and we ended up having a successful vaginal delivery of a healthy boy!
Throughout this intense laboring experience, her empathy for what I was going through was palpable and that was the biggest pep talk that I got- knowing every step of the way that she truly cared.
The week following the labor was equally difficult, and we couldn’t have been more grateful for her readiness to give emotional support and reassurance that everything is going to be ok. Her placenta package is amazing, and I am looking forward to enjoying all the different items!
She was an essential part of this intense, spiritual and life changing experience and we are so glad to have met her. She transcended what we expected to get out of a doula service in every way and cannot recommend her higher.
