Testimonial for Odile Penet, CD(DONA), LCCE, PES

How can I express my gratitude to the amazing Odile? She is the doula to have. I always knew that I would use a doula, so I began my search a bit later, with a list of recommendations from friends. I knew Odile would be our doula when we first spoke on the phone. She has a calm, gentle and wise presence that can be felt even over the phone. When we met in person, Odile came to our home, and my husband and I both knew in an instant, by exhanging a look, that we were in wonderful hands. My birth was a beautiful experience, becuase I had Odile by my side, supporting not only me, but provising peace and comfort to my mom and husband who were also present. Odile allowed me to birth my baby feeling strength when I thought I had none left, feeling peace and feeling love. When she came into the hospital room, I cried, it was such a comfort felign her presence enter the room. She brought me back to my center when I became tired and overwhelmed and gave such mental, physical and emotional support. After the birth, I feel so honored to have Odile in my life still providing me with her ever incredible calm, gentle and wise presence. My husband and I are ever grateful we found her, and so happy to have her in our lives. Looking back, the only thing I would change is finding her sooner! She is such a tremendous teacher and offers classes for mothers and partners that I would have loved to take! However, she also has created wonerful network for mamas after birth that offers meet ups to discuss life after birth that have been so helpful. Odile, you are the best! Thank you so so much for all you have done for Alex, baby Hugh and I. We love you!
