Testimonial for Barb Fraumeni
Barb was a wonderful doula who made our birth experience even more positive than it would have been. She took lots of time in the weeks before my due date to get to know my partner and me, including asking many insightful questions that helped us think about and prepare for labour and delivery. She spent many hours at our apartment while I was in labour, and generally provided a very calming, grounding presence. She seemed to intuitively know when to make a suggestion or an adjustment, and when to just sit back and let my partner and I be in the moment together. I'm sure that without Barb, we would have gone to the hospital much earlier than necessary/ideal. But with her here, I did most of my labouring from home, which was what we wanted.
At the hospital, Barb and our midwife seemed to work as a great team. Her gentle, relaxed energy was very reassuring. I felt incredibly supported, safe, and cared for throughout the entire experience.
