Denise is gentle, kind, supportive, trustworthy and resourceful. She has integrity and experience and she will be a great doula for you if you decide to hire her. She took excellent care of me while I was preparing for birth, gave me more materials than I had time to read... She was very supportive and soothing during the birth process. She also guided my husband through the "first child adventure".
We hired her as a "full spectrum doula" (ie before, during and after birth) and I especially recommend having her at nights post partum. So you can get some rest and she can take care of your baby's feeding and diaper change needs. We had a great experience overall with Denise and I cannot recommend her enough. She is knowledgeable and not judgemental, she will respect your choices and orient you when you need advice or help. She is also great and gentle with newborns, I felt reassured to have her look after our little boy while we were getting sleep. Happy to provide more feedback as needed, just ask her and she will connect us.
