Testimonial for Diana Snyder, Birth Doula, HCHD

Diana was our doula for the birth of our daughter in 2019, and I can’t say enough how wonderful it was to have her there.  She is warm, empathetic, and completely accepting and non-judgmental.  Before the birth she very thoughtfully answered all our questions and helped us understand what to expect, and it was very reassuring to have someone so experienced meet us at our level.  She was tremendous during the actual birth; Diana was by my side for the better part of my 30 hour labor and was an incredible support not just for me but my husband as well.  In what was at times a very hectic environment, one thing I remember most is her calm, quiet voice explaining to me what was going on or what my options were. She offered a lot of guidance for positions and coping during labor, and gave my husband the opportunity to get a little sleep during the whole process.  For this alone I would absolutely recommend her, but I feel like she went above and beyond when she visited us afterwards.  We both struggled a lot in the first few months of our daughter’s life, and she visited at what was close to our lowest point.  Diana’s empathy and caring in that visit was incredibly validating, and she gave us the precious gift of a long nap while she held our baby.  On a practical level she connected us with resources that helped us both get to a more steady place.  We were admittedly a little uncertain about the role of a doula before we decided on Diana, but she made believers of us both!  I am so glad she was part of the start of our family.
