Hiring Barb to be my doula was the best decision I could have made for my birth. She was very caring and informative, and did her best to find out what made me feel comfortable. This was my first birth, and it helped me feel very secure in having a home birth.
Before the birth, she clearly outlined the stages of labour and birth, as well as techniques to help deal with pain, and provided different remedies for before and after the birth. Even though many of the techniques turned out not to be needed, it was a great comfort to know that she was prepared with a variety of techniques and tools.
During the birth, she was a wonderful calming influence, making sure I was working with the pain management techniques properly and changing positions as needed. I feel that this was a large part of why my natural delivery went so smoothly.
After the birth, as we were at home, she was very helpful in cleaning up and even put dinner in the oven! We definitely felt well taken care of.
I highly recommend Barb as a doula, and hope to have her attend any future births I may have, as well.
Sincerely,
Devon Armstrong
A very satisfied customer, and a happy new mom!
