We hired Dianne to help with the delivery of our first child in December of 2018. After meeting her through the Calgary Doula Association, I was struck with her friendly and calm demeanor, and no-nonsense approach. We had two pre-natal visits, in which we determined what was the most important things to us during delivery, and went through some tips and tricks that might help smooth out the early labour. Turns out, we had a very quick labour & delivery, and didn't use many of those things we discussed - no time! - but Dianne was supportive through the entire process. First by phone, while we were at home and questioning when to go to the hospital, and then bedside during the actual delivery. We also learned tons from her during our postnatal visit, on breastfeeding, baby wearing and other topics. And on top of that, she was able to take the best photos of the delivery. I was a little pre-occupied during that time, and didn't notice the camera out at all; but she captured the whole thing perfectly. She was a great support for both myself and my husband.
