Testimonial for Daria Bennett
There are people who come into your life at just the right moment—and for me, that person was Daria Bennett. During a time when my original doula was not present or engaged in my care, I was navigating an extremely complicated pregnancy alone. I had been diagnosed with a short cervix early on, requiring a cerclage, and later was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Emotionally and physically, I was overwhelmed.
Then Daria came into my life—and everything changed.
From the moment she stepped in, Daria was present, attentive, and truly invested in my journey. She became the support I didn’t know I needed. She asked the questions I couldn’t, advocated for my wishes with grace and determination, and honored every detail of my birth plan, even when I couldn’t speak for myself. She was my voice of reason, my calming presence, and a true source of hope.
My labor was long—I was induced and spent two days trying to progress before ultimately requiring an emergency c-section due to an infection after my water was broken by the nurses. Through every moment of that intense and emotional experience, Daria never left my side. Her emotional, physical, and vocal support helped carry me through one of the most vulnerable and powerful moments of my life.
After my son was born, Daria continued to check in, making sure I was okay—not just physically, but emotionally. Her communication was consistent, her warmth was genuine, and her heart is unmatched. She quickly became more than a doula to me—she became family.
I am forever grateful that Daria was a part of this life-changing experience. Despite the challenges I faced during pregnancy, her presence made my entry into motherhood beautiful, supported, and unforgettable.
Thank you, Daria, for everything. You truly made a difference in my life.
With Kind Regards,
