We hired Maria as our birth doula for our first child. We had interviewed several others but knew she was the one as soon as we spoke to her. She has a very warm and calm presence about her. During our prenatal visit she not only shared lots of knowledge but really took the time to listen and get to know us and our wishes. She often stayed past her scheduled time in order to answer all of our questions and never made us feel rushed. The day I went into labor, there was a big snowstorm in NY. Despite that, she arrived at the hospital with no problem. During labor, she not only calmed my nerves but also my husbands. She helped me enormously with pain management by massaging me and guiding me thought different positions and movement. My husband also wanted to be very involved and Maria provided him with the knowledge and guidance that he needed to do that. Thanks to Maria, we were able to have the natural and calm birth experience we imagined. We both said that when we have our second, Maria will have to be there!
