This review is overdue! Mari was a great support system and helped us get prepared for the birth of our second baby. Towards the end of my pregnancy we decided to get a doula and have an unmedicated birth at the hospital. Anytime I was able to text her questions and if I needed advice, and she'd answer my questions promptly. She is caring, knowledgeable and was great support for us, unfortunately with COVID-19 I had to decide who I wanted in the room during birth and it could only be 1 person, so she was not able to be there. But I was texting with her the whole time before, during, and after the birth. Also my son was pre-term so our plan with the birth didn't go as smooth as we wanted. When doctors would tell me what had to be done, I'd ask Mari for her advice and she was a great help! She came to our house and practiced labor inducing stretches and positions to get baby head down.
Sometimes doctors make it seem more complicated then what it needs to be, having someone who is educated in an unmediated birth with experience really helped us. If you are looking for someone personable, smart, and down to earth- Mari is a wonderful choice! If We have another baby I definitely want to start earlier in my pregnancy with her :)
