We were so glad that we hired Diana to be our doula for the birth of our daughter. She made us feel comfortable from the very first meeting. She came in prepared and really educated us on the whole process, and how she would be able to assist both my husband and I, before, during & after the birth.
My water broke about 2:30am, and Diana met us at the hospital by the time I was checked in. Even though my labor & delivery went very smooth, as a first time mom, it was so comforting to have Diana explain “sometimes ‘abc’ happens, and this is normal…” or “you might experience ‘xyz’, and you’d have these options…” Her knowledge and calming persona were wonderful (not to mention the massage therapy!), and she really helped me stay at peace and be present in process, when I otherwise might’ve been nervous and tense.
My husband would tell you that he thinks Diana was even more help to him than to me, because she was so great at calming his nerves and telling him how he could get involved and support me during labor. Diana was a God-send for all of us, and she really made the process special, even down to the birth story that she delivered in our post-partum visit. I would definitely recommend her!
