Testimonial for Diana Kay
At first, I was a little hesitant to hire a private doula. After all, the birthing center had their own volunteer doulas. But it didn't take long to get convinced that this was the right thing to do. My wife did extensive research, and a few interviews we narrowed it down to two candidates. To be prefectly honest, because of the extensive research that my wife did, I think we would've been perfectly happy with either Diana Kay or Trisha Olow. We settled on Diana because she had the TENS experience. But Trisha did placenta encapsulation, so this was a very difficult decision. Both were equally tops in our book! Our solution... we got Diana to be our doula but hired Trisha to do placenta encapsulation. It turns out that Diana and Trisha are good friends and they look out after each other and back each other up if something comes up unexpectedly. In addition, because my wife's labor was so long -- 30+ hours -- Diana was able to get help from a third doula, Donna Grandi, who was also excellent. So, I know this review is for Diana, and we are profoundly grateful that we found her, be we would be remiss in not mentioning the other two doulas that helped us. In my opinion, the cost of a great doula is nothing compared to the peace of mind and help that they provide. Would I recommend Diana? A thousand times yes. Would I recommend Trisha and Donna? Equally, a resounding yes!
