We met Noleen a number of hours into labor as our doula had 2 women go into labor at the same time. She arrived quickly- even on short notice - and was well prepared (side note: the peppermint oil especially was great for nausea). In addition to supporting me, she made sure my husband had opportunities to rest or eat so he could be alert and involved when the baby was born. She also gave some helpful pointers on breastfeeding and took some pictures for us as well.
Of all the decisions regarding giving birth, whether or not to hire a doula (and, if so, which one) is one of the most influential in the overall tone of the experience. I would strongly recommend hiring a doula if at all possible and would have no reservations in recommending Noleen.
