I couldn't recommend Patty enough. I will be always grateful for all her support during my pregnancy and labor. My husband and I have all family in Europe and with COVID we could not have them around and having Patty as doula helped us a lot.During pregnancy, she is always available to solve any concerns you may have during pregnancy, she will share with you all the resources she has to make sure you are well informed and make you feel calmed and empowered. She helped me prepare my birth plan, which was great too!
During the days prior to labor, she helped me a lot. My baby was borned at 41weeks 5 days, which made the wait pretty long and tense. She helped me to relax and do everything possible to induce labor naturally.
During labor, I can't explain how great Patty was. She partnered perfectly with my husband. They were an awesome team. They were able to help me cope every single contraction, she was always there to encourage me to make sure I was breathing and I was embracing the contractions. In the moments were I was losing my confidence, she was always there to remember I could do it. And on top of that, she managed to take wonderful pictures from the process. We did not choose her because of that, but when we saw the pictures we were really happy to have these wonderful black and white photos to remember such an special moment. I still do not know how she was able to do all at once!
Patty, you are a wonderful doula, thank you!
