Testimonial for Odessa Bates, MA, CD, CPD, CPES, Certified VBAC
We had a wonderful experience with Odessa as our doula! Her support was extremely helpful to us during the entirety of our pregnancy, through the delivery process, and afterwards.
Our first meeting with her was very educational as we started to develop our birth plan and outline our preferences. She went over various hospital procedures and one by one, we discussed our comfort levels and how we'd like to navigate the big day. She offered numerous helpful documents and outlines we used to develop our final birth plan for the nurses at our delivery hospital. Thanks to all the prep work, we felt as prepared as we'd ever be on the day of our baby's delivery.
Throughout the entire process, Odessa was communicative and responsive, always with a warm aura that made us feel comfortable and cared for. On the day of our baby's delivery, she was with us for nearly the entire hospital stay, providing much needed assurance and endless emotional support. Her presence was greatly appreciated and we're so glad we got to work with her. We can' recommend her enough!
