Testimonial for Dara DeSoto ,CD(DONA), CLEC, Licensed Midwife

What a great pleasure it was to experience one of life's most beautiful and dramatic blessings, the birth of our second sweet daughter. Dara is a very reliable and supportive friend who can be strong when you need her to and is gentle and kind. She is spirtually encouraging and offered emotional support continuously through my whole labor. In labor, we become completely vulnerable and it can be difficult to express or even know what is needed in each moment. I was told by many friends that my second birth would be so much easier, but it was much more trying than my first.

I am so glad we chose Dara as our Doula. Dara knew how to direct my husband and I gently and humbly with much care. She made made me feel like I was doing an incredible job, even though my labor was so intense, and she knew what positions were best to speed up labor and keep me focused. She is steady and brings a calming and secure atmosphere.

My mother, who had eight natural childbirths and also sat through the birth of fifteen of her eighteen grandchildren was also present at the birth. She said that Dara was one of the most caring Doulas she had ever seen. She was greatly impressed by her knowledge and ability to direct in ease, even when I was my most exhausted and feeling my weakest. I thank the Lord for her. She is a treasure and someone I would choose again without a second thought.

Without even saying a word, Dara was my confort and the exact cheerleader my husband and I both needed. We made the best decision by choosing her as our Doula. She can't be everyone's Doula, but your truly blessed if you can get her as your Doula!
