My husband and I are so glad we connected with Darlene to support us through the birth of our first child. From the first consult to prenatal visits to my birth experience and postpartum visit, Darlene brought wisdom, knowledge, care, and resources to her approach as a birth doula.
The two prenatal visits helped prepare my husband and I for the birth by walking us through exercises to prepare for birth, helping us to reflect and dialogue on navigating the postpartum period, and us just all getting to know each other. I ended up being induced a bit earlier than planned and Darlene was responsive and available. She guided me through movement, stretches, and breathing while in labor that were key to my labor progression and ability to handle contractions. She reminded me to trust myself and my body throughout the process and medical decision-making. I can't imagine my birth experience without Darlene being present. She was key to my having a positive labor experience.
I highly recommend Darlene as a birth doula and hope to work with her again in the future!
