Testimonial for Vanessa Robalino
Vanessa is a real life angel. I spent a long time looking for a postpartum doula who aligned with my parenting style when I was pregnant with my son, and when I found Vanessa I knew immediately they were the person for us. My son Skye was meant to be born at home, however after an extremely long multi-day labor he ended up being born in the hospital. We had planned for Vanessa to come the night Skye was born but because of my hospital stay we were delayed in coming home. Vanessa came as soon as we arrived home and tended to my son but also to me and my big emotions and healing body that were a result of my long and strenuous labor and delivery. They massaged my neck and shoulders in the middle of the night when I was in agony from holding so much tension there, they made me delicious oat drinks and snacks to help bring in my milk, and most importantly they cared for my baby as if he was their own. I was blessed with the gift of having Vanessa in my home with us for two weeks and in that time, I trusted my son to be with very few people, however, Vanessa was one of those people. I did not worry when he was with her because I knew the quality of care and attention he was receiving. We also did a transformative closing of the bones ceremony together which was incredibly special and something I will remember forever. Vanessa used strong and sweet herbs for a bath, sang to me, and knotted cloth around my womb area to knit the bones back in place after my fourth trimester. We prayed and sang together, and in those moments I will remember my postpartum and matrescence as being magical and beautiful, thanks in large part to the work of the lovely Vanessa.
