Maria was great! She assisted us at the birth of our daughter in October 2018. She had a calming presence and came prepared with essential oils and massage techniques to get us through labor. We met with Maria twice during the third trimester and she gave us lots of information to prepare for labor. I ended up being induced and she met us at the hospital once contractions were getting strong. She helped me think through the decision of an epidural. Ultimately I ended up with a c-section and she was able to coach us in what to expect. She advocated for skin-to-skin contact as soon as our daughter was born. Maria was right there in recovery to help with the first breastfeeding. Finally, she stopped by for a postpartum visit to help with continued breastfeeding and answer questions we had. It was wonderful having someone as knowledgable as Maria with us, taking much of the stress out of the experience.
