Testimonial for Odessa Bates, MA, CD, CPD, CPES
We originally selected Doula Odessa because of her friendly attitude, dedicated availability, and ability to encapsulate the placenta. Her skills far surpassed these 3 main decisionmakers. I cannot emphasize how important it was for us to have her by our side before, during and after the long and challenging 25-hour birth of our daughter.
Due to COVID-19 regulations, we were only allowed one support person during our birth. As the only physical support person for my wife, I was skeptical about having to juggle a Zoom call and technology while she was in labor. I was entirely wrong. I am so unbelievably happy that we had her (on Zoom) to help us make crucial, strategic “game time” decision that ultimately led to the success of our overall birth experience.
Odessa is an extremely knowledgeable professional who provides the much-needed support for any type of pregnancy and birth. She was an invaluable member of our “team” and I can’t even imagine how our birth would have gone without her suggestions, opinions and mental support along the way. We’re so thankful to have had the pleasure of working with her!
