Testimonial for Patricia Alatriste
Patricia was our doula for the birth of our first child, 7 months ago. I can honestly say that I don’t know what we would have done without her.
Patricia was great from the moment we met her, she listened to the needs and wants for our birth from myself and my husband. She asked detailed questions we hadn’t thought of previously to ensure that all bases were covered.
When we went into labor she was just a phone call away and responded immediately to whatever needs we had. When we arrived at the hospital we only had an hour or so before our son arrived. During that time Patricia did an excellent job, soothing, coaching, and photographing in addition to anything else that we may have asked from her. Patricia does an AMAZING hip squeeze, it brought so much relief. Her photography was beautiful - I say that wholeheartedly as I really didn’t think I would ever look back on those photos but I do so often, I am grateful she was there to capture the moment for us.
Following the arrival of our son she was there to assist in the initial latch and feeding session. She also followed up on lactation and postpartum care in the weeks following delivery.
Without Patricia, I can honestly say that our labor story would have been completely different. She helped keep us calm, cool, and collected so we could truly enjoy the miracle of birth.
