Testimonial for Barbie French, BA, E-RYT, CD(DONA), CPD(RI), CLC

Barbie was sinply fantastic. I can't imagine giving birth without her. She helped us prepare for birth and establish a birth plan that was right for us. She helped us feel prepared and reduced my anxiety about giving birth. During labor, she helped my husband know what to do. I think people worry about doulas taking over, but she helped my husband to be a more involved participant in the birthing process. And then when she needed to get involved, she did. When the going got tough, she helped me stick to my birth plan. I really wanted a natural birth. But then birth happened and it was really hard to stick to that plan! Barbie helped me make my dream of a natural birth come true. I can't thank her enough.
