Testimonial for Denise Smith (Bilingual: Spanish/English)
I highly recommend Denise and am so so grateful that we found her to support in the birth of our son. I am confident that I would not have been able to have a successful natural birth without her knowledge and support throughout the birth. My husband is very supportive but I knew I needed more support from someone more knowledgeable about natural birth to help me achieve my goal of a natural birth.
We had a desired birth plan but as with many pregnancies, my plan didn’t go as desired. I was nervous about being induced and whether it would result in needing an epidural. Denise was at the hospital from the time I was admitted to the birth of our son (approx. 17 hr labor). She was very calm, answered any questions I had about what the doctors were telling us, and helped make well informed decisions.
Denise was also a HUGE support for my husband to know how to help me. He has told all his friends and family there is no way he could have been the support needed and was so glad Denise was there for support. After the birth she called the next day to check on me and baby and has made a home visit about a week after going home to visit and see how things have been going.
I highly recommend Denise and am so grateful that she was able to provide the strength and support to know I could have an unmediated birth!
