Testimonial for Stephani De Azevedo CD-(DONA)
Stephani has a passion and excitement for helping women have a positive birthing experience, and I could sense that in our first interactions and throughout this journey.
Stephani taught and shared with me some golden nuggets previous to the birth of our little one, coached me when I needed it during labor, and has been a support in the days since our birth. I am glad we had Stephani there during the birth of our son.
I know that Stephani wanted to help, but not overwhelm me. I learned to ask when I needed something. She helped answer questions I had after my regular doctor check-ups, and suggested more questions I could ask the doctor at the conclusion of our discussions. If I was curious about something, I just had to ask; she didn't pester me with too much knowledge or information, but was always available via a quick text.
This was our second baby, but my husband was still unsure of how to be supportive during labor. Stephani's instruction & lessons helped me have a better understanding of where I was during labor, and what I might anticipate next. She taught me a few alternative birthing positions, which greatly helped during this quick, unmedicated birth at the hospital, and she was there to support us. Eventhough it was my second time, I wasn't sure the contractions were "the real deal", and she helped me have confidence in listening to my body.
Stephani taught, shared, and coached when we needed it, and has been a support in the days immediately after the birth. I sure appreciated having her as our Doula.
