Testimonial for Maris James, CD (DTI), CBE, CBC
I am so grateful for Maris' support during the birth of my second child in June. She guided me through an unmedicated VBAC with calm confidence, knowledge, and unwavering encouragement.
For me, choosing a doula was such an important process as it is essentially trusting someone with your most intimate and vunerable time. What made Maris stand out, was that in addition to her experience and knowledge, she has such a calm and non judgemental vibe, I was instantly comfortable with her upon our first zoom meeting.
During delivery, Maris' presence was grounding and invaluable, offering the right support at the right moments while also working seamlessly with the medical team and bring food for my husband. She knew when to speak up but also when to take a beat and empower me to figure things out myself throughout the labor process.
Her care and expertise made a huge difference in helping me achieve the amazing birth experience I hoped for. I literally could not have done it without her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, skilled doula support! Thank you Maris!
