Testimonial for Dara DeSoto ,CD(DONA), CLEC, Licensed Midwife

Our family was so thankful to have found Dara. We chose her based on the many testimonials provided here and, then, our first getting-to-know-each-other meeting. She is warm and kind, but also assertive and confident - - traits that serve her well during delivery. She was very flexible, coming to our home and easy-going with our older two boys. (We had to bring them to our appointments with her!) Overall, she helped me realize my ideal birth. I wanted an all-natural birth and I was a VBAC. I delivered in about six hours of active labor and less than a half hour of pushing. I owe much of the success of this birth to her timely and expertise coaching. She knew how to move the labor along and help it progress (my last labor would not progress and I was in early labor for four days!)and she was by my side as soon as I felt I needed her. My husband worked well with her, too, and she was good at sharing the job of supporting me with him. This was our last birth, and our best one! Thank you, Dara.
