Patti was amazing. It was my first labor and delivery and I did not know what to expect and wanted coaching, support, and experience. Patti provided all of those things and more. She gave me various massages and had me rotate in different positions and lined up the baby perfectly so he came out easily--I had a 5.5 hour delivery!! For first time moms that is almost unheard of, and while I'm sure Patti would never say she could GUARANTEE that for anyone, in this case her methods worked. My doctor loves working with her and says she is one of the most experienced doulas. After the delivery Patti came to my house to do a post partum massge and infant massage. She had to leave the infant massage a tiny bit early to get to a delivery so she came BACK to the house later in the week to work on my baby more--she is so dedicated and is really in this business for all of the right reasons. LOVE LOVE LOVE her. She is a god send.
I will also say Patti is supportive of your choices no mater what. I went into my labor thinking I would get an epidural and never received any judgment from her or her trying to convince me otherwise. Once I was actually in it I decided I didn't need one and she was equally supportive of that decision.
