Dara is the absolute sweetest, most amazing doula you could ask for. This is my second birth using Dara and she recently joined with Joy to form a partnership. (Joy is equally as amazing!) after using Dara for our first birth there was no way I was doing it the second time without her. She was the second person I told I was pregnant. We stayed in touch throughout the early parts of my pregnancy and then around 25 weeks both Dara and Joy came to our house for a pre meeting. We discussed our birth plan and any concerns and then they showed us some exercises to do to make sure babys position was good!
Once I went into labor I called Joy (it was 4am) and she gave me some suggestions for comfort. Once it was time to go to the hospital it was about 6 AM. Dara met us there. From then on she was with me every step of the way. She massages, offers positions, and helps guide you through the birth process. The nurses even commented on how active and involved she was. She literally was massaging me the entire time. Dara is the real deal and I 100% recommend her. If we have a 3rd, I wouldn’t do it without her!
After baby is born and you return home, Dara visits you for a postnatal appt. she helps with everything from breastfeeding to baby wearing, whatever you need!
