Linda was the doula for our daughter. I did not have my family with me except my husband. I was hoping for a birth with least amount of medication as much as possible since I was unsure about the effects of medication and wanted to try what could be the safest possible option for my daughter. At the same time I was mentally prepared that anything could change any time. Since this was our first baby and we as a couple did not have any experience it made us nervous and we decided to look for help. The moment we met Linda we liked her and decided to taker her help and it was one of the best decision. She is a very gentle and calm person with lot of patience and a smiling pleasant face. I felt her as a part of my own family. She was very helping throughout the entire labor and delivery. She made me relax and guided me wherever necessary. While I was pregnant she visited couple of times and taught me deep relaxation techniques that really felt nice for mind and body. She is also a very friendly and loving person. During my labor she was with me throughout and took long walks with me and did nice conversations which distracted me from the pain. Also when the pain became intolerable she gave me back massage to feel better. Also, she was very encouraging and made me feel good when I almost gave up. She did not interfere between our privacy as a couple and made us feel comfortable. I also attended her prepared childbirth classes where I learned a lot about what to expect and how to deal with the situation. She also reminded me about little things that helped while I was in labor like taking a warm shower, sitting and doing some postures on yoga ball, listening to soft music, relaxing and also offered me small sips of water.She also came to see my baby couple of times to make sure I and the baby are doing well. She also texted me during and post pregnancy and showed lot of affection. She is an amazing person and a wonderful Doula.I would highly recommend her.
