As soon as we met Maria, I knew she was a good match for us. I felt like I'd known her for years and she wasn't earthy-crunchy like I was afraid all doulas were. She is the perfect balance of knowledgeable, kind, professional, and positive. Even though we waited until 2 weeks before my due date to book a doula, she made us feel comfortable and more confident right away about the labor and delivery process as first time parents. I already felt supported by my husband and family, but having someone dedicated to my labor and delivery helped me relax. Maria was great at responding quickly to any questions we had and helped me ask my OB more detailed questions during my last appointments. I enjoyed our prenatal session and I was glad she went into a lot of detail so we could discuss my comfort levels and be on the same page. Once I was in labor, she came as soon as I asked. She helped us stay calm and relaxed, and knew the right questions to ask the nurses and doctors through the whole event. Maria visited us the day after we came home from the hospital and was a wonderful resource during the postpartum period. I plan on recommending her to friends and family in the future and would book her again in a heartbeat if I ever decide to have another baby.
