Testimonial for Birth You Desire ® LLC
If you want the best, hire Ursula. She supported me and my family through our two births: first in 2015 and again in 2018. We consider her part of our family after being so intimately involved in the two biggest experiences of our lives. She is the reason I was able to vaginally deliver a 9lb 6oz baby over 23 hours of labor with no pain medication, and she is the reason we were able to help control for the delivery of a smaller baby (8lb 9oz in 6 hours) with her nutritional advice on our second go-around. I used a TENS unit for pain management in both births at her advice to great success.
Ursula’s experience with all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery is deep and wide. She doesn’t just support you through labor and delivery either — her approach is very holistic and also focuses on your family’s emotional needs as well as your physical ones. Ursula is intense and she is a force of nature — but as a Type A person who needs someone else to kick my butt from time to time, her calm but forceful presence is what I needed. Her bag of tricks is huge based on her many, many years of experience, and she brings all of them to your birth to help facilitate your goals.
Ursula is a true birth professional and she is highly regarded within the DC-area birthing community. She worked seamlessly alongside our medical team through both of our births (including an apprehensive old-school OB who didn’t think much of doulas). Having her support is priceless!
