I would describe Denise as a lifesaver...or better yet an angel! I am a first time mom and decided to work with a doula to give myself some peace of mind, since neither my partner or I had any idea what to expect. My labor came quicker than expected and the doula I planned to work with was unable to be with me so she called Denise to be my backup doula. Without any notice, Denise got to my place very quickly and jumped right in. When she arrived, I was already in active labor, very scared and in a massive amount of pain. Denise was able to slow down my breathing and calm me down. For someone who didn't know what to expect, Denise came in like a pro - I felt so comfortable with her, especially since this is probably the most vulnerable I've ever been in my life. She never hesitated and instead just went with the flow. It was time to go to the hospital and she jumped right in the car and helped me labor all the way to the hospital (30 minute drive), which was not an easy task. Once we got to the hospital, she didn't leave my side and held my hand the entire time. I honestly have no idea what I would have done without her. And for someone that didn't know me at all, come in at the last minute and make me feel comfortable at this stressful time...well I would say she's amazing! I 100% recommend Denise for any doula needs!!!
