Testimonial for Renée Pizzuto

(Part 2) As soon as I saw a positive at home pregnancy test Renee was one of the first people I called to share the exciting news. She happened to be the friend I was on the phone with when I experienced my miscarriage. It was determined that I had a chemical pregnancy. How quick that excitement and joy turned to sadness and depression. Of course Renee was right by my side giving me all the encouragement and support I needed. She always reminded me not to give up and constantly reassured me I would be a mom and a good one. Now fast forward to January 29,2019 at 5:30 pm who else was right there to coach me through an amazing delivery of my first born , it was my friend and now officially my doula Renee. My husband and I were so thrilled to meet our little boy and know that day and the days leading up to it would not have been how special and miraculous as it was without the guidance of Renee. At first my husband was confused on what a doula was and if having one was completely neccessary, now he feels we couldn't birth any more children without one. A worth of a doula is priceless , especially if you have more natural holistic plans about the idea of pregnancy, labor, birth , and postpartum ideas. Renee exceeded all expectations and I couldn't have imagined experiencing this special part of my life without her support, coaching and knowledge. Right down to when my birth planned had to get tossed aside and I had to be open to another option Renee helped further inform me about situation at hand and once again reassured me it would all be ok. So I could give birth at a birthing center and had to go to a hospital to get induced but Renee played a vital role with my nurse and midwife in still making sure I was in an atmosphere that was comfortable for me . It wasn't for a second that Renee let me doubt that I wasn't going to have the experience I always dreamed of. How true that became. (continued below)
