Renee is a true gem. Her warmth, openness, and approachability put me at ease from the moment we met. I knew I had found someone I could trust and rely on during this new unknown adventure. I couldn’t have imagined, though, just how much I would lean on her during my all-night labour. She was a rock. Her strength (literally – as I hung off of her and my partner during most contractions) and enduring presence helped me to push through the difficult moments when I didn’t know how to go on. She helped remind me of my own strength. Her calmness helped sustain my confidence and let me give birth without fear. Her and my partner fell into a rhythm of supporting me and holding an atmosphere of love and patience in our dimly lit hospital room. He described it afterwards as a kind of dance, and was also deeply grateful for how flexible and attuned she was. I felt safe knowing she was there regardless of how labour may go. I consider my labour/birth a very challenging but very positive experience. Renee was pivotal in that. Her visits after the birth lifted my spirits and gave great comfort to my frazzled first weeks. I cannot recommend her highly enough. The way she personalizes her services, getting to know you and what kind of support you need, I believe she could help just about anyone. I am profoundly grateful to have had her by my side. She is the real thing.
