Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)

I feel both fortunate and grateful for having had Adriana at my side for my second delivery, since I was attempting a VBAC. Fortunate, because I was 38 weeks by the time I got around to calling her. I got the reminder from a friend after hearing of her two great experiences with Adriana. I lucked out on her last minute availability, as she would have been double booked for my due date. Luckily, I was two days early and she was able to make it. Grateful, for her calming presence, professionalism, knowledge of massage & pressure points, hypnobirthing and breathing techniques, as I worked through the pain. Also, for her valuable knowledge of available options during labor, delivery and postpartum, that were not offered during my first delivery.

I felt more confident going into labor, after our prenatal meeting. She shared info about pain management, labor process, natural labor preparation (yoga) and expectations. At that time, there wasn't a guarantee that she would be able to make it, due to a conflict with another client. I was praying for her to make it. From our first phone conversation, I immediately felt comfortable with her. She has a warm nature, calm demeanor, and extensive knowledge, and just exudes her love of her job and the special event of birth.

I'm blessed to have another healthy baby girl. Also, blessed to have had an overall better experience my second time around, thanks to Adriana!
