Testimonial for Vanessa Flanders
This was my second natural birth, but first time hiring a doula, and what a difference it made! Vanessa was the biggest support for both my husband and I, starting from pregnancy all the way through postpartum. She is very knowledgeable with all things pregnancy/birth/postpartum and was able to answer any questions we had. The day I went into labor, Vanessa enabled us to comfortably labor at home longer and advise when to go to the hospital. When labor seemed to be stalling or not picking up, she was extremely helpful in offering exercises and positions try to keep things progressing (which they did!). In contrast to my first birth, my husband was able to step into more of an emotional support role instead of physical (counter pressure/helping me labor) which was so much nicer for both him and I to actually ENJOY the process. I was able to have a natural, intervention free birth and I contribute a large portion of that success to having Vanessa by our side. Couldn't recommend her more!
