Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
My wife and I hired Ursula as our Doula to help us out with our very first child... and as a husband (and now proud father) I cannot think of going through the process without her again!
Ursula acted as a coach and friend every step of the way. She gave us the guidance, support, and the confidence we needed to make important decisions about our birth plan. Her experience exceeds 800+ births over the last 14 years and she is genuinely passionate about her profession. She has a no-nonsense approach to explaining the ins-and-out of birthing, but also expresses great empathy and compassion for your questions, concerns, and personal preferences.
As a father, I cannot imagine what the actual day of delivery would have been like without having her in the hospital room by my wife's side! Ursula played a pivotal role in keeping my wife calm and focused during her many hours of laboring. Although I had been practicing & learning new tricks and techniques to support my wife during the birhting process, I can honestly say that, eventhough I was well prepared at the time, I simply could not match Ursula's sheer knowledge and experience.
Ursula was an absolute natural in the laboring room and know how to interact with all the nurses, doctors, and midwives. And most importanly how to interact with my wife according to our own personal style. She was the person who kept all parties in-sync with one another and this alleviated a lot of potential stress for us (me especially).
I highly recommend Ursula to anyone who is thinking about hiring a Doula. And I especially encourage all fathers-to-be to seriously consider bringing an expert Doula such as her for the birthing ride: It will make your job as partner so much easier and your wife will be less anxious. Ursula was and will continue to be worth her weight in gold for me (before, during, and after the birth of our child).
