Odile was wonderful during my son's birth. I felt very cared for and supported. Her steady, calm strength helped guide me during labor. She offers a number of coping strategies, including massage and touch, breathwork, and movement. But most of all I remember her voice telling me to focus on 'just this breath', which kept me focused on the present rather than worrying about the challenges ahead. My husband also says that her knowledge and assistance made him a more effective birth partner.
After my birth I came down with postpartum anxiety and depression, and Odile helped by checking in on me and connecteing me to resources.
We also recommend Odile's birth classes as a way to prepare for your baby. Odile's knowledge and experience helped us before, during and after our son's birht.
