Testimonial for Called to Birth Doulas & Birth Services
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Riva. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly knowledgeable, reassuring, and an invaluable resource throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her warm and genuine personality made it easy to open up and ask questions—she felt more like a trusted friend we had known for years than someone we had just met.
During labor and delivery, Riva's support was truly unmatched. She helped me feel calm, confident, and empowered every step of the way. Just as importantly, she provided incredible support to my husband, helping him feel informed, involved, and confident in how to support me throughout the process.
Looking back, we genuinely cannot imagine giving birth without Riva by our side. Her presence brought comfort, encouragement, and a sense of peace during one of the most important moments of our lives.
What makes Riva even more exceptional is that her care did not end after the birth. She has continued to be a source of support, guidance, and encouragement well into our postpartum journey. Having someone so compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated in our corner has made all the difference. We are forever grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation to any growing family.
Riva, thank you for helping make our birth experience such a positive and empowering one. We are so grateful for your unwavering support and care. ??
