My husband and I didn't consider using a doula until 2 weeks before my due date, and we feel unbelievably fortunate to have been matched up with Victoria. As first time parents, my husband and I were very nervous. In our initial meeting, Victoria spent a considerable amount of time with us answering all of our questions and making us feel very comfortable. My daughter arrived a week early in very atypical first-child fashion, as in fast and furious. Victoria showed up with no time to waste and immediately took control of what could have been a very nerve-wracking situation. Fully dilated and effaced, I was convinced we were going to have our baby on the bedroom floor; but Victoria calmed us both down, reminded us where our focus needed to be, helped us get to the hospital through full-on active labor, coached us (hands-on!) through a completely successful natural birth, communicated and advocated for us with the nurses and doctors, and more. Looking back, my husband and I could not have asked for anything more towards having the birth experience that we wanted, and we credit Victoria completely! Above and beyond it all, we really like Victoria as a person and were very happy to be able to share the birth of our baby girl with her. We would recommend her to anyone, and already have!
