Testimonial for Odile Penet, CD(DONA), LCCE, PES
Working with Odile was amazing. Odile came to us by accident because my original doula had to pull out due to family issues. We looked around and found another doula who we then hired for the birth of our first child, however she was going to be on vacation close to my due date. She ensured us that her back up would be there incase she couldn’t. Sure enough, I went into labor the same day she left for OBX, and Odile was the backup scheduled to take over. I had only met her once before, but after having a 36 hour labor, I truly could not imagine having anyone but Odile by my side. She was patient, calming, knowledgeable, and attentive to every single need. She relieved my husband so he could take breaks, and with every contraction she reminded me I was getting that much closer to meeting my baby girl. It was a very hard labor, and everyone was tired, but you would have never guessed Odile had been there for three shift changes in the hospital. She obviously views her job as a labor of love (pun intended!) and she was a HUGE reason I was able to persevere through the many hours and bring my child into this world.
