Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)
Adriana was an essential part of our birth experience! From her wonderful prenatal workshops that taught us valuable labor techniques to her incredible support during labor and her postnatal assistance with breastfeeding and beyond, Adriana has been a kind, compassionate and caring guide through every part of our journey. An excellent listener and intuitive advisor, Adriana helped us figure out what type of birth experience we wanted and then helped us to realize that experience. Months before labor began, Adriana helped my husband and I prepare for it with a combination of prenatal yoga, massage and pain management consulting that made us feel comfortable and ready for the big day. When it arrived, she was especially invaluable. Adriana literally held my hand through an arduous 26-hour labor that stretched in to the early morning hours and worked tirelessly alongside the hospital staff to ensure that we had a healthy and happy experience that we will remember as one of the best moments of our lives. Even when our plans for an unmedicated birth changed at the last minute, she was always supportive and nonjudgmental as she helped us navigate a difficult decision, making sure that we were informed and aware of our options, without overwhelming us with information. Her calming presence made what could have seemed like an interminable labor seem achievable and even relaxed. With her help, we had an experience that we look back on with great joy, not regret. Since then, Adriana has been instrumental in guiding us through some of the challenges of new parenthood, including providing breastfeeding consulting and massage therapy for our daughter, who struggled with a tongue-tie and torticollis. Her coaching has resulted in a much happier baby…and mama! It has been an absolute privilege to work with Adriana and we can’t wait to work with her again for the birth of our second child!
