Testimonial for Rose Quintilian
Rose was wonderful. She was also our Hypnobabies instructor so we were already comfortable with her and knew she really knew what she was doing. She was very hands on and I needed a LOT of touch the entire time I birthed. She was always giving me positive reassurance and helping to make sure I had everything I needed (water, a cold washcloth on my forehead, etc). She used different Hypnobabies cues, suggested different positions, and was really there for me the whole time, completely tuned in. We called her very early on in the morning when my contractions were still mild and she came as soon as I said I wanted her there. She was in our home with us and walking around outside with us to try to get things moving for a while before heading to the hospital. She actually rode with us in the car to the hospital and did a relax cue for me the whole way there which helped me so much during the bumpy drive.
My husband would tell you he was really nervous about the birth and having all of the partner responsibility in having a successful natural childbirth. He felt way better about things once we hired Rose and knew that she would be there for me and also advocate for me.
She kept track of times and what was going on at each time and gave me a run down of my birth afterward and it is something I truly cherish to this day!
I trained as a doula about 10 years ago and pregnancy and birth have been long-time passions of mine. Before I had my baby, I had also seen a natural childbirth and watched another doula in action and knew what I wanted in my own doula. Let's just say I had very high expectations. Rose exceeded those very high expectations. She is truly special. Rose was a major part of our positive birth experience. If we have another baby down the road, there is no doubt in my mind: we will be hiring Rose!
