Testimonial for Renée Pizzuto

Having a baby was something I dreamed about forever. When I finally got pregnant and thought about the type of birth experience I wanted I had no idea what a doula was or how life changing the experience could be. After you came to our house the first time I knew that I did not want to give birth without you with us. You made me feel empowered, secure, and most importantly informed of my options during labor and delivery. In the months leading up to our delivery you prepared us not only for birth, but also on the changes that were going to happen in our relationship as partners, strategies for postpartum, and support with breast-feeding which was really important to me. Fast forward to our delivery day, you spent close to 24 hours with us at my bedside never taking a moment for yourself. The positivity and calmness you brought to the delivery room was something that I will never forget. Now I know everything did not go according to my “plan”, however I wouldn’t change a thing about my delivery if I could. I had such an amazing and positive life changing experience and I know that it has a lot to do with you. Even your presence was enough to calm me during one of the most painful experience of my life. I can never thank you enough for not only guiding me through this most important day but for also bringing me peace and tranquility. Chris was also blow away by the experience. He can not sing your praises enough. When people ask about our delivery and experience the first thing he states is you need to have Renee with you. She was amazing the whole time we couldn’t have done it without her. He is already planning for our next child and said you have to be with us. So thank you Rene for all you have done for us and our family and for truly making my birth the BEST day of my life. We love you so much and appreciate all of you amazing hard work.
