Testimonial for Odile Penet, CD(DONA), LCCE, PES
Odile was our doula for the delivery of our son in January 2020, and I cannot recommend her enough.
Even before she was with us at the birth, I attended a meditation workshop for labor that Odile taught. The workshop was wonderful and provided me with some easy-to-implement techniques to calm me down during labor.
We also sincerely appreciated Odile's level of communication prior to the birth. We had a lovely in-person meeting with her to go over our plan, any concerns/fears, coping strategies, and anything else related to the birth. Odile also stayed in touch in the days and weeks leading up to birth by sending us helpful tips via email and encouraging text messages.
Unsurprisingly, Odile was FANTASTIC when I went into labor and during her time with us at the hospital. She was critical in guiding both my husband and myself through the various stages, and she was masterful at helping rotate the baby through some techniques when he wasn't in the ideal position. We would undoubtedly have her be our doula again, and she made the entire experience of delivery (which did not really go as planned) very positive for us.
It should also be noted that the staff of the hospital really enjoyed working with her. Every nurse mentioned how much they appreciated her level of care for me as well as her respect for the hospital's policies and their boundaries. Odile is skilled at being an appropriate advocate for the birthing mother.
Finally, Odile has remained in touch following our delivery and even came by to check on me and my son during our post-partum period. I just can't say enough how much this meant to us.
Odile was an amazing doula with her calming personality, incredible base of knowledge, and genuine affection and care for her clients. Everyone would be lucky to have her as their doula.
