As a first time mama I had a lot of questions. Marie kindly responded to all of them. She was helpful, nice and informative. When I first interviewed with her I was hesitant if I should go with a midwife or I should stick to my family doctor as she was specialized in births. Marie helped me to decide according to my personality and situation. She always spoke from her experience but stayed in a neutral position.
Marie's postnatal two appointments were great. Both the zoom call and the visit. She was very informative and made us feel calm. She provided me with tools and resources that could help me with more questions that could arise. I went through early labour on my own as I followed her advice on going through this stage as calm as possible and staying home as long as I could. Early labour lasted about 48 hours until I needed to go to the hospital. Once at the hospital my husband called Marie. Meanwhile I decided we needed to go with a c-section as a situation came up and doctors needed me to make a decision. Marie was there before I got the drugs to go into the OR. She was supportive and kind to me and my husband. She was there until I came out of the surgery and made sure everything looked good. Her postpartum services were also great. She gave me my time, gave me a nice massage and even taught me how to do infant massage. Overall, we were very happy with her Doula services!
