I had the pleasure of having renee as my doula for my first child, I couldn't have imagined doing it without her. She was absolutely perfect. It was like she was reading my mind the whole day, she new exactly what I wanted without me having to say a word. She also kept my boyfriend involved with everything, level headed and made him feel supported with directions with out being bossy or controling at all. It all just came so natural to her, she adapted to any energy or situation.
My boyfriend and I both have large and close families and I had worries pre-birth of my delivery room turning into a party. I felt so confident once I had shared my family dynamic and wishes for the delivery room that renee would keep everything in line and sure enough without making anyone feel excluded she kept everything under control she even knew at times when I needed everyone out or everyone to stop taking with out me even asking her.
One of my memories I have from that blurry exciting crazy day was when Renee had to leave my side for a few seconds to use the washroom and i simply lifted my head to who ever was in my view and asked where is renee! My mother in law had taken over to help me through my contraction doing a great job following exactly as renee was doing but it just wasnt the same. Renee has a magical touch and a soothing yet confident voice that lifted my contractions away as they finished.
After the birth I loved having Renee come and visit it was like having a helpful family visitor she never overstayed her welcome and helped changed diapers ! my boyfriend and I both felt like we could ask or tell her anything without any judgment or awkwardness.
i tell everyone about Renee and brag about her often she is a major part of my birth story. My whole family on both sides loves her and enjoyed having her there that day.
I can't wait to have her at my future births !
We love you !
