Maria helped us bring our son into this world, and we honestly can’t imagine having done it without her. As first time parents, there is no book or video that can prepare you for birth. Her prenatal visits were very helpful, and she has a very holistic approach which completely aligned with my views, although she was supportive when I decided to get induced at 10 days late. Maria’s knowledge about the induction process, pain management on pitocin (it’s different!), and what was normal and what was not was priceless. Her hands on techniques helped me figure out how to manage the pain, because I forgot everything I had learned before I walked into the labor room! She not only kept me calm when my labor stalled and my OB warned me that a c-section may be inevitable if I didn’t progress quickly, she helped me advocate for myself and had me equipped with all the information I needed to make sure that I was not bullied into a c-section. Our baby boy came into the world perfectly healthy, and we couldn’t be happier. I truly credit Maria for the reason we ended up with a vaginal birth.
My partner and I cannot recommend Maria enough. She’s sweet, loving, encouraging, and great company for 20+ hours straight :)
