Our goal for the birth of our son was unmedicated labor free from medical intervention. My fiance and I met Diana through a birth class we were taking with my health care provider. She told the class she was a doula and explained a little about the role of a doula during labor. We had heard of doulas before but had limited information until we started doing research on our own. We made the decision to hire a doula about a month before our due date and Diana was a natural choice after we got to know her through the birthing class. My finace and I agree that hiring Diana to help us during the birth was a fantastic decision. Diana helped me to stay focused on the task at hand and stay on top of my contractions as they became more intense. She gave helpful reminders to my fiance about the coaching techniques we learned in the birthing class so he could be of maximum help during the process, and she made suggestions to family members about how they could best assist me in the labor process. Finally, while she did not make any medical decisions for me, Diana continually reminded me of our birth plan and the medical decisions we had already made and why. Diana is very knowledgeable, helpful, professional and personable. It's clear that she loves helping women and couples have their best birth experience. She even wrote a story about our birth experience that one day we will get to share with our son! I would highly recommend Diana's doula services to anyone looking for their best birth experience.
