We knew upon first meeting Vanessa that she was the right choice for us. She led us on an informed and nurturing path through our pregnancy. Vanessa offered a level of comfort that was unmatched by other doulas we interviewed. She was also timely, thorough, and compassionate. During labor, Vanessa was essential because she helped me find positions that alleviated back pain I had from an injury years prior. She gave me constant reassurance which was especially important when my water broke in the bathroom and I was in excruciating pain. She came in and calmed me down because I was absolutely terrified. Having her in that very moment eased all my fears. I still tear up just writing this, thinking about her sweet words and how soothing she was. Having Vanessa there to guide us through labor and delivery was more than just piece of mind, she also offered us information that we would not have gotten from being at the hospital alone. We will be using Vanessa when we have our second baby. And I can honestly say that I don't know if I would have considered giving birth again if I didn't have her there during my first birth, making it so manageable.
