Renée was my doula for my first birth, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. (I have already recommended her to several friends!) She asked the perfect gentle question at the right moment that avoided my having a c-section, which has to count for some kind of doula diamond elite rating. Besides that, Renée brought solid physical skills and calm, wise vibes to the whole experience, from pre-planning, to the birth, to the post-partum visits.
Similarly to what some other folks have noted in testimonials, Renée asked a lot of questions to get to know my partner and I and figure out what kind of support would work for us. I am confident that she could personalize things for a wide range of people. For us, Renée brought a lot of hard physical work supporting me through almost 24 hours of contractions (pushing on my back, holding me up, fetching things) as well as practical tips on transfering from a home birth to the hospital, explanations of what was going on at the hospital, and some great post-partum stretches and breastfeeding help.
My partner and I were both really glad we picked Renée. You deserve a great doula too!
