Testimonial for Maria Vesper, CD(CBI), HCHD

I cannot thank Maria Vesper enough.  She was such a calming, steady, and reassuring presence during my hospital birth.  Though everything did not go exactly as planned, Maria was there to really help me make the decisions that I knew that I wanted for my birth experience.  There were multiple instances where I may have strayed from what I really wanted if Maria were not there.  Though the hospital staff was amazing and helpful, their views and suggestions were not always aligned with my wishes.  Because Maria had spent time getting to know me and my husband, she was there to remind and reassure us that we were in control of how our son was going to be born.

Maria met with my husband and me a few times prior to the birth and we instantly felt comfortable with her.  We did not feel judged or pressured and felt completely at ease to ask questions and bring up any concerns.  Maria listened to what we wanted from our birth experience and was extremely helpful in offering strategies and techniques to help us.  I gave birth in the hospital and though my doctors and nurses were amazing, I felt that with Maria's support I was able to vocalize and be in control of the birth of my child, rather than following every suggestions by the hospital staff.  With the support of Maria and my husband, I was able to complete the rest of my birth as I wanted and have an amazing bonding experience with my son immediately.

I would highly, highly recommend Maria as a doula for any woman/couple.
