I met Juana at The Birth Place which I was going to for my prenatal care. She gave me a tour of the facility with such a warm & welcoming demeanor. After multiple visits I believe we were having a conversation & she informed me that she was a doula. At the time I had no idea what a doula was but once I did my research I knew I needed to have her there for the birth of my daughter. Everytime I saw her she was always so happy & joyful too see me & I loved just engaging in conversation with her while waiting to be seen. Fast forward to the birth of my daughter. We were set on achieving a VBAC. I was headed to the hospital & Juana was not far behind. Funny enough she ended up having another mommy delivering at the same hospital. Regardless of the situation she made sure to be there for the both of us. Unfortunately I wasn't able to achieve a VBAC but that didn't stop Juana from still being there every step of the way. Fast forward to 5 months after having my daughter I unfortunately was not able to get in contact with her due to the pandemic. I was thinking about her & one day decided to email her with the hopes of speaking again. Of course she immediately responded & called me & we talked like we never left off. Since then she's been someone I can talk to about anything. She always makes sure to tell me to "Fill Up My Cup First". I am so very blessed to have someone help me bring my daughter into this world & eventually become someone I can call a life long friend. If you have had or get to have the pleasure of having her in your life it will be the best thing you've ever experienced. She has truly fulfilled the calling that she's been given.
