Not being a huge fan of the traditional healthcare model of care, I always knew having a doula was a huge priority of mine when getting ready to bring a human into this world. Having someone to advocate for ME and my wishes was a necessity. I had reached out to multiple doulas to see who was available during my estimated due date and while I had a couple of "interviews" set up, as soon as I chatted with Evana, I canceled the rest because I just knew she was the right fit. From our very first meeting, she just felt like an old trusted friend. Hubby and I are very laid back and go with the flow, but get a little stressed under pressure so knowing Evana had our back thru it all gave me instant relief.
While my birth did NOT go as planned (unexpected emergency c-section) which ultimately Evana missed due to the nature of the situation, she arrived as quickly as possible and was there with hubby and baby when I arrived in recovery and stayed with us until we were all settled. Of course I'm disappointed that I didn't get to experience the magic of all Evana has to offer, I hands down am still happy with my decision to hire her. She proved to be an invaluable resource throughout the pregnancy and since returning home with our little man! She will hands down be my first call after finding out I'm pregnant again ????
