I wanted to hire a doula for my second birth because my first birth experience was less than ideal. My goal was to have a natural birth this time around (which I ended up achieving!). My husband and I chose Natasha because of her wealth of knowledge and calming nature. She was so great and resourceful throughout my pregnancy and getting us prepared for the birth of our son. From stretches to get baby in the optimal position for labor, massage techniques, affirmations, and breathing techniques, Natasha knew it all. She also made us realize that we actually had options (some of which we had no knowledge of) at the hospital before and after birth. We were able to make this experience our own by choosing what, when, and how we wanted hospital staff to care for me. Unfortunately due to Covid-19, Natasha could not physically be at the hospital with us for the birth, but she joined us virtually where she was able to help my husband coach me through labor and delivery. In light of a bad situation, Natasha made us both feel very confident in reaching our goals for labor and delivery and we can’t thank her enough!
