Testimonial for Diane Tabilo, LCSW, CD(DONA) - Bilingual
Diane was everything we hoped for in a doula and more. From our very first meeting, my wife and I were comfortable with her. She has a calm demeanor, which makes her a natural fit for the many stressful situations a doula is called to deal with. But she is also attentive, thoughtful, and kind. All these wonderful qualities of hers shone through during the two days from my wife's water breaking to the delivery of our firstborn child.
I can honestly say Diane was there for us every step of the way. My wife's water broke two weeks early about five minutes after I came home from work one evening. We naturally phoned our doctor after we got our bearings. He talked to us for maybe three minutes. While he didn't do anything wrong, we were still left feeling uneasy and unsure of ourselves after we hung up. This was our first rodeo after all!
In this void of uncertainty, Diane took all the time we needed on the phone with us. She answered all our questions and helped calm us down. We never felt rushed. It was clear we had her attention the entire time.
Later that evening, Diane came over to our home to attend us in person. She helped my wife relax and work through her contractions. She even helped us put together our hospital bag, which we hadn't gotten round to packing yet!
Diane helped my wife get to sleep sometime around midnight. She came back again in the wee hours of the morning. From then on she never left our side. I can't tell you how grateful I am to her for that service.
I should note that my wife is a native Spanish speaker. I'm not. Diane's ability to speak in my wife's native language during the difficulties of labor is just one more reason I can heartily recommend her.
In closing, I will say that if my wife and I are ever blessed with more children in the future, we intend to have Diane by our side for each and every one. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
