Dara was indispensable during my labor and delivery, and I could not imagine going through it without her. She arrived within the hour when we called her at 2 am and immediately set me at ease with her calming presence. She dimmed the lights, brought out fake candles, started some aromatherapy, and massaged me. She knew exactly which positions to get into to help the baby get into the best position. She encouraged me the whole time and was very soothing. She noticed little things like giving me lip balm for my chapped lips. She continuously gave me clear fluids so that I stayed hydrated and gave me honey sticks for energy. She also supported my decisions. As a first time mother, she helped me to understand what to expect during labor and delivery. Her presence also helped my mother and husband to focus on supporting me and to rest when needed. Dara also took pictures, which captured moments that I will treasure forever. I highly recommend Dara as a doula.
