Testimonial for Denise Ramirez
My husband and I decided to have a home birth and knew we would need some extra support and decided to hire Denise as our doula. It was a perfect fit! She was super flexible with her schedule and made several trips out to meet our midwife and see us before my birth as well as after a few times. She was very helpful in giving us information on active labour, stretches and exercises I can do during my pregnancy, breast feeding, baby bathing as well as nutrition/diet tips and herbal tea recommendations.
Denise arrived at our apartment around 8am, just in time to really help me get through my contractions with constant support and positive reinforcement. It also allowed for my husband to go to the store pick up a few things we needed and get the place ready for my midwife. She followed me around like a mother hen, never leaving my side. She rubbed and massaged my back and breathed with me to help during contractions. She was there to hold my hand and help me into my labor position as I pushed our baby girl out at 12pm! She then stayed for another two-three hours after to help teach me how to properly hold my baby and breastfeed as well as making sure we were comfortable and settled in with our little new family member.
We cannot thank Denise enough for all that she did. I will definitly be calling her up for our second home birth child.
