I can't say enough good things about Ursula, or recommend her services more highly. She helped bring our daughter into the world this past May, and we told her after the birth that she was like our own little flashlight. As first time parents, the whole process is like jumping into a big black hole: you have no idea what to expect, how you will respond or where you will come out of the experience. Ursula was our source of light and guidance, from the birthing classes, through labor and delivery and into our postpartum experience.
The most important thing that I can say about Ursula, is that she does whatever she can to ensure that you really do have the birth experience you want. We wanted a vaginal, drug free birth and Ursula, along with our midwife team at GW, did everything possible to ensure we got it, despite a couple of small hiccups that could easily have led us down a different path had we not had such a great, dedicated team.
Ursula is warm, supportive and incredibly knowledgeable. She is always available and ready to offer you advice, feedback and access to her many resources. She customizes her services to the unique personalties and needs of each couple she works with. She is highly experienced and is well known, and respected, by the DC birthing community. Each and every time anyone--from midwife to nursing staff to pediatricians-- heard that we were working with Urusula, they all said they same thing: "she is awesome and you couldn't be in better hands."
So we'll add our voices to that refrain. If you want a knowledgable, highly experienced, supportive, warm and generally kick-ass doula that will do everything in her power to help you have the birth experience you want, call Ursula. She is awesome and you couldn't be in better hands.
