Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)
I had the pleasure of taking Adriana’s prenatal yoga class during my previous pregnancies, so when I decided I wanted a doula for my fourth pregnancy, I knew I wanted to work with Adriana.
She is the perfect combination of professional and knowledgeable but also nurturing and supportive. Her presence is so calm and reassuring. And not only does she have a wealth of knowledge about pregnancy and birth, but she’s also well versed in a variety of complementary and alternative therapies, and I appreciated her advice throughout my pregnancy.
I felt she really listened to my desires and concerns and tailored her support and guidance to help me achieve the birth I wanted. She was always readily accessibly, and had helpful answers to all of my questions.
In the days before my baby was born, Adriana stayed in constant contact, checking in on me via texts, offering plenty of encouragement and positivity. And when labor started in the middle of the night, Adriana responded immediately and met us at the hospital promptly.
My husband felt like she was very mindful and respectful of his role as the husband/dad, and she offered the perfect amount of support for both of us. My baby arrived quickly, but it was so reassuring to have Adriana by my side. As I pushed, I held my husband’s hand while Adriana fed me ice chips!
Adriana stayed with us for the entire first hour postpartum, helping me establish breastfeeding, and then made sure we were comfortably settled into our postpartum room before she left. And after we were home, Adriana sent several message, checking in on us to make sure we were all doing well.
I am so grateful Adriana was part of this journey with us. I had the beautiful, empowering birth I wanted, and Adriana will always be a very special part of that special day. I whole heartedly recommend Adriana to any family looking for a doula who will support you with abundant kindness and wisdom!
