First and formost I have to say I absolutlely love Renee, she made my second pregnancy/ birthing experience so smooth and had me at ease. I didn't exactly have a good experience with my first time around and decided that the difference for me would be having a doula this time and I was completely right! Renee from the moment I met her had a calming presence that made me feel like I was in good hands. She checked in with me weekly and the closer to my due date, she would check in on me daily. She was there for every step.
Unfortunetly I had to have a c-section cause my little girl was breech but even when my fears of having to have this proceedure done, she was so supportive. I did try everything to try to turn her with suggestion from Renee such as acupuncture, moxibusion, reiki, lavender oil, cat-cow yoga poses, etc. I even had a version procedure done which Renee was there for and was able to help keep me calm with such a difficult procedure. Unfortunetly it didn't work but Renee guided me through encouraging me on how well able to handle it.
The day of my c-section Renee was part of my "A-team" supporting me and keeping me calm when part of me wanted to break down. I went into surgery with a postive mind knowing all would be ok and that I have the best support around me.
I would recommend Renee's services whether this is your first time birthing or your tenth. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and the best part is no matter what path your birthing experience should take she is 110% supportive with all your decisions and there are no judgements. It really is about what is best for you and what you would like to gain out of the experience!
