Testimonial for Diane Tabilo, LCSW, CD(DONA) - Bilingual
Following a traumatic first birth — escalating interventions leading to a c-section against my will — and after years of research and recovery both as a doctor and as a patient, I prayed for a different birth. What joy I felt when Diane became a doula! Diane walked with me every step of the way. She connected me to an expert midwife team. We participated in a Bradley class. We discussed our goals, how specifically to support me, what ways I seek comfort, things I like/dislike. She respected our desire for my husband as my main support, and for a birth centered in Christ and focused on faith in God’s will. I felt tumultuous ocean waves to be both a metaphor for suffering but also for how God washes us clean and lifts us up to rest in the comfort of His arms. Diane reminded me of this; reading curated scripture verses and showing me gorgeous scripture affirmation cards she specifically created for me. Her calm and experienced solace was palpable during labor pains. She was a pillar of strength and peace. My husband and her stood on either side of me; rocking, massaging, encouraging, pressing with firm hands, and praying every minute of my labor and birth. She supported me outside, inside, and in the birth pool. She was so comforting to me that I did not want her to leave my side for the brief moments she used the restroom, pumped, or fueled up. God guided us to a remarkable home birth with a tale to tell for ages to come, and a healthy, darling baby boy as a testimony of God’s providence. I know you will not regret choosing Diane. She has personal and professional experience. She birthed her two babes in her home! She has a soothing, serene tranquility to her attendance. She has warm, strong hands, and a loving embrace. She is respectful and kind. And, most pivotally, she is filled with the Holy Spirit and a vessel through which God’s hands will be present at your birth.
