Testimonial for Barb Fraumeni
Barb was an indispensible part of my birth team. She lent a patient and understanding ear to all of my concerns leading up to the birth, took the time to get to know me and my wishes, and offered her extensive knowledge and experience as a doula and a mother to help me make decisions. When my husband was away for work and looked like he might not make it home for the birth, Barb was a huge emotional support for me, helping me to deal with the expected and unexpected alike. During my labour she supported not only me physically and emotionally when i needed it, but also my husband. She was never intrusive and worked seemlessly with the midwives and my husband. Because of her encouragement and guidance I was able to have the natural, intervention free birth that I wanted, even when i thought i was going to give up. Barb is intelligent, respectful, and calm; she is a trove of wisdom and has a lovely sense of humour. I would highly reccomend her to anyone looking for a doula whether for a home or hospital birth, because I know she'll be there for you no matter what heppens, just like she was for me.
