Testimonial for Anastasia Velarde
Anastasia was a warm, loving, encouraging, and caring presence at my homebirth in April 2025. She arrived first to assess my labor and to offer her help and encouragement; then she helped faciliate the arrival of my birth team while my contractions were ramping up, which was invaluable as my husband was busy taking care of the last minute prepartions in the room where I planned to give birth and I was consumed with pretty fast and hard labor pretty early on. She made sure I always had a water cup with a straw nearby, so I didn't even have to ask when I felt thirsty. She was a sounding board for my husband and a cheerleader for me. She helped clean up after the birth and made my husband and me breakfast, she he could stay by my side with our new baby. Beyond the services she provided during labor and birth, her attentiveness and suggestions during our prenatal visits were so helpful. I am SO glad I hired Anastasia to attend my birth and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!!
