In short, Denise was amazing. She was curious about our needs, supportive of our decisions, and patient explaining the ins and outs of labor and delivery.
My wife, Nicole and I were origially not going to have a doula, but after our childbirth class we realized how important the role is ensuring a positive birth experience.
We are sooo glad we did, and once we signed the contract with her we instantly felt relieved that someone was there for us through the time leading up to, during and after delivery to answer any questions we had and reassure us through our first birth.
Denise for us was the right mix of confidence, experience (I think we were 77 or 78 birth for her), nuturing, and assertiveness.
She did great encouraging my wife through labor and delivery, and made my life as a support as person so much easier and less stressful. She also empowered me to be more a part of the delivery holding my wife's leg during delivery and getting to witness the miracle of our little Noah enter this world. Even the delivery staffed took to her and loved having her there.
We also had her come for our first night home, and are going to have her back to help my wife with breast pumping.
So hire her, you won't be sorry!
