Testimonial for Virginia Rivenbark, AdvCD(DONA), LCCE, CLC
From very early on in my second pregnancy I wanted to work with a doula. My goal was to have a vaginal birth, following a c-section for a breech position with my first. I was a good candidate for a VBAC, according to my doctors, but wanted the support of a professional to coach my husband and I through the pregnancy, birth and after (I struggled with BF following my first). I found Virginia through an online search, but also had a personal recommendation from an acquaintance, a first-time mom. From the start, I was comfortable with Virginia - she has an easiness about her, as well as a wealth of knowledge. I was scheduled to be induced on a Monday evening; she was there from the moment we checked in until the moment baby was born by cesarean on FRIDAY! Those intermittent days of laboring and interventions were difficult, exhausting, and frustrating. I feel so blessed that Virginia was there to guide, educate, advocate for, support, feed, and empower us! She helped us to make the best decision in moments that felt completely overwhelming. She continued to be a resource and checking in often for weeks following the birth. I’m deeply appreciative of her time and expertise and HIGHLY recommend her services.
