Testimonial for Virginia Rivenbark, AdvCD(DONA), LCCE, CLC
We are so, so lucky to have found Virginia. It is hard to put into words how important I feel she was to the birth of our son, she made every step of our journey a thousand times easier and better than it would have been otherwise. It was so amazing to have someone who is so experienced with birth, and also with working with the doctors and nurses, who also knows you and is there specifically to be 100% by your side. I felt really safe and cared for with her around – her confident, calm energy helped me believe I could do it and steadied me during the hardest parts.
Virginia spoke up and advocated for us based on the things she knew we were stressed or worried about, and she was able to translate back and forth between us and the hospital staff about what was happening, which I feel made such a difference in terms of things going well. She was right with us from start to finish, watching me closely, predicting my needs before I knew them myself, and helping my husband to support me. I am so happy she was part of this important day in our lives. Her birth class is also wonderful, she gives really clear information so that you feel fully informed about your options and about what might happen and creates space for you to process your emotions around your birth as well.
