Rose was the first doula I interviewed and I felt an immediate connection. During my pregnancy, she checked in with me after midwife appointments. I was touched when she wished me a Happy Mothers Day (even though I wasn't due until August). We signed up for her Hypnobabies class and met with her weekly which further strengthened our doula/mom/dad relationship.
When it came time for our baby to be born, Rose was available and attentive. She was willing to come to our house in early labor which was important to us in choosing a doula. However, early labor progressed so quickly that we asked her to meet us at the hospital instead. Rose was a strong and supportive presence during my entire birthing experience. She never left my side from the moment she arrived (it was fast- 4 hours?). She knew all the right things to say and all of the right places to apply touch and pressure. She advocated for me with hospital staff while I focused on myself.
My husband and I are grateful to Rose for our wonderful birthing experience. She helped us to have the birth that we wanted.
