Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
Summary: Ursula is phenomenal. Since our first birth, we moved to California and because she was so amazing at our first birth I couldn’t imagine having our second without her, so we did a cross-country Face-Time session for the second delivery. We implicitly trust her, her judgement, and her support and we weren’t willing to risk losing that trust for the convenience of someone closer. She has a special ability to focus me during my deliveries and say just the right thing to calm me down and help labor progress. She tailors her approach to adapt to the person and the situation and provide the most effective support. Her pre-delivery and post-delivery support is also fantastic, which again, we did remotely. If we have any more babies, we will most definitely continue to use Ursula.
Details:
When I was first pregnant and talking with Ursula (who offered to help me find a doula in California that I was compatible with) I had a moment with my toddler of seeing a doctor and not completely trusting their recommendations. It was at that moment that I realized the true value of the trust we had in Ursula. Although we were all a little apprehensive because the virtual doula service was new to all of us, the importance of the implicit trust we have with Ursula far out-weighed any inconveniences and challenges the Face-Timing may have introduced.
Despite having some technical difficulties, Ursula remained present and patient through it all. She was equally as supportive as if we had her physically in the room, and it actually gave my husband an opportunity to be more involved.
Reviewing Ursula is such a struggle because it’s so difficult to put into words her true value and the unbelievable support she provides. It’s like having your mother there, minus the opinions and emotions and add the medical knowledge and calm demeanor. We truly appreciate being able to share such an important life event with Ursula.
