Testimonial for Odile Penet, CD(DONA), LCCE, PES
Hiring Odile was one of the best decisions my husband and I made once we found out we were expecting our first baby. Not having family close by, it was important to us to have someone we could feel comfortable with during one of our most important life events, and Odile was a perfect fit. We completed private childbirth classes in our home with Odile as well and by the time our baby boy was ready to arrive, Odile felt like a part of our family, which is exactly what I needed as our families are not nearby. It was important for me to have a natural birth without medication, and with Odile's support, nurturing, strength, and knowledge (and with a little help from baby boy), I was able to do just that. She does an excellent job of understanding you as an individual and remembers those things that are important to you, even when things seem hectic during labor and in the delivery room. For example, Odile knew that mindfulness and breasfeeding were important to me and so she sent me several resources for me to prepare. She also remembered some of my concerns for delivery and was able to communicate them for me to the nurses when I wasn't able to or when my focus was elsewhere. Odile was also a wonderful, reassuring support postpartum, on the phone and in person, and followed up several times by text. She is someone special who truly cares about the moms, dads and babies she supports. Odile is meant to do what she loves, and we will forver look back at our birth story fondly with Odile being such a special part of it.
