Testimonial for Called to Birth Doulas & Birth Services
I was pregnant with our first child and I knew I wanted to have doula support.
My husband and I meet Riva to discuss options and clicked immediately.
She was so attune to our needs while also being very informative.
During the pregnancy Riva was a great support to ask questions and check in on when I had questions or feeling uncertain.
The day I went into Labor, Riva was at our house immediately and stayed with us for the entire 40 hour labor.
She continued to be a calming presence when moments got difficult. Because of Riva’s knowledge on movement and positioning we were able to labor at home for a long time before heading to our birthplace.
During the entire process she continued to remind me that I have options and lean into the support around me. She was constantly cheering me and my husband on and guiding us along.
I really loved my labor and delivery experience even when we transferred to the hospital for an epidural.
Riva and her team at Called to Birth bring a wealth of experience and knowledge. She brings a gentle and straightforward energy with her.
