Testimonial for Bobbi TheDoula
I first met Bobbi when I was pregnant with my first child in 2009 and I attended her 8 week natural childbirth class. It was so informative on all aspects of the birth process, exercises to keep baby in a good position, coping mechanisms, lactation, and postpartum and newborn care. It was especially informative for my husband to understand best how to be my support during the birth experience and we both appreciated the wealth of knowledge we learned from that class and I felt so much more confident in giving birth to my first child!
After our class, I decided to hire Bobbi to be my doula. My labor ended up being very fast for a first time delivery and it was because of what we learned in her class that my husband knew to call the midwife STAT since I was in denial of how far along I was. I was so grateful when she arrived and to have her soothing calm presence and wisdom of experience there helping me cope and applying counter pressure especially since my baby came much quicker than I ever anticipated!
I also used her for my second and third child which were similar labors but faster. She always knew exactly what to say and her soothing presence helped me get through. She was also such a help with the postpartum period! She especially believes in mothering the mother so she can best care for her new baby and she has always brought meals, helped with breastfeeding issues, and even took my kids to the park so I could focus on my newest baby! She goes above and beyond and is such a blessing! Her passion for all things birth and mothering come through her every word. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to anyone!
