Testimonial for Diana Kay

Diana is a very skilled and kind birth doula. From our first interview with her, Diana stood out for her knowledge, calm demeanor and sense of humor.  She taught me and my husband about the stages of labor and what to expect. She showed us how to cope with the pain and how my husband can support me through contractions. It really helped my husband and I feel connected, as a tight team. This was especially critical at the time, since there was only one support person allowed in the room with me, due to COVID-19. 

I was hoping for a hospital unmadicated birth but complications with my pregnancy made it unlikely. Instead I was to give birth with a scheduled induction. Diana was very supportive with the change of plans and very soothing to my anxious soul. She helped me flip my negative mindset, educated me on inductions and gave me resources to help my body be as ready as possible the day of the induction. In the mean time, she was always available to talk and was checking in with me to make sure I was doing alright.  In the end, I went into labor spontaniously a few hours after I arrived to the hospital for my scheduled induction. As I was laboring with Diana on the phone, our nurse informed us a second support person was now permitted. Diana drove over at 5 am. She was very familiar with hospiral protocols and knew how to converse with nurses to assure my maximum comfort. She was focused on my well -being and offered practical pain relief with helpful repositionings  and words of encouragement and appeasment. She also took pictures and notes, which we really appreciated; as first time parents, both me and my husband were completely overwhelmed by the experience and didn't think to document it. Diana was a true gift that day. On our postpartum meeting, we went over the birth, which was healing.

Diana is an integral part of the birth story of our son. I could not be more grateful she was part of our birth team!
