Denise is an absolutely AMAZING doula! She is very knowledgeable and encouraging; she will help you get through childbirth like a pro! I delivered my son on 6/8/17 with Denise. My doctor was going to induce me against my desires/ birth preferences and I was so sad. I called Denise and she met me at the hosptial around 9:00AM; I delivered my son with NO INTERVENTIONS at 4:25PM! Denise helped me stay in the zone and make every contraction count! I was able to deliver our baby boy in only 7 hours and 3 pushes!
I know that every labor is different, but I am convinced that Denise had a huge impact on how quickly I was able to deliver. The key is to make every contraction work towards bringing your child closer to you and she helped me do that! There were a few times I didn't think I could continue and Denise encouraged me and reinforced that I was strong enough to get through it, and I did with her reassurance!
My husband and sister were in the room with me for delivery and said I made childbirth look "easy, and nothing like the movies!" I give Denise a lot of credit for keeping me in the zone! I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend her to every single expecting mother I meet! Do yourself a favor and hire Denise!
