At 37, I found myself unexpectedly pregnant and still had quite a bit of anxiety from a somewhat traumatic birth experience eight years earlier. I do not say this lightly: Philippa was an absolute God-send. Prior to connecting with her, I was considering a planned c-section to avoid labor all together. But having her as my doula enabled me to face the day with confidence. In addition to her own knowledge, she shared a variety of resources based upon my needs.
During the labor, Philippa was intuitive and brought such a calming presence to both me and my husband. I look back on the entire day of labor as a cherished memory, rather than the fear and pain riddled labors of my first two. Following the birth, I continued to feel supported by her home visits. Our whole experiece with Philippa was excellent and I cannot recommend her strongly enough.
