Testimonial for Diana Kay

We were so lucky to find Diana as our doula for both of our daughters. I knew I wanted a natural birth and wanted to labor at home for as long as I could before going to the hospital. From the moment we met Diana we knew she would be able to provide us with a supportive birth. For my first birth Diana was able to guide me through the labor process. She knew when I should get in the tub, when contractions were going to double up on me and most importantly when to leave for the hospital. All through my labor Diana remained calm, even when my husband left to buy a video camera and my labor progressed to 2-3 minutes a part. Diana knows exactly what you need even before you do. I loved her lavender aromatherapy and cold wash cloths not to mention her great massages too. During the pushing phase Diana was able to encourage me even after I was getting exhausted and frustrated. What I liked the most was she calmed my fears of the unknown of childbirth. Once our daughter was born Diana was there to make sure my recovery went well and our daughter was latching on properly. I truly would not have been able to achieve my natural low intervention birth without Diana's support. Our first birth experience went so well Diana was one of the first people I contacted when I found out I was pregnant again. Our second birth with Diana was just as rewarding as the first. I was even more relaxed knowing I was in good hands and all I would need to focus on was my labor and Diana would take care of the rest. I am so grateful Diana has provided us with a positive birth experience for both of our daughters. We will cherish our photo's, personalized birth stories and friendship that Diana provided us.
