Testimonial for Gina Cantatore, LMT, CD (CBI)
Gina and Mariah were a priceless resource to both me and my husband while preparing for birth and delivering our daughter. We were late to the game and only decided to look for a doula a month before my due date. We planned to interview a handful of doulas and after one meeting with Gina and Mariah, we were set - we didn't even want to interview anyone else!
The pre-labor meetings were so helpful in identifying what kind of experience we hoped to have and made us both feel so comfortable with each doula.
Gina was there for us when I went into labor and was with us every step of the way - answered our questions over the phone and in text messages in the middle of the night and helped me labor at home for as long as I could. At the hospital, she helped me navigate triage, advocate for myself throughout the delivery, and was so thoughtful and considerate in every detail of how she cared for me and my husband.
We wanted as private of a delivery experience as possible and having Gina there as our doula felt like the perfect addition - never "just another person in the room". She supported me directly, supported my husband so that he could be there for me as much as possible, especially helping him remember to take rests so that he could be there for me during the most strenuous parts of my labor. She was with us for all 26 hours and then some -- it was the best investment we could have made in having the best possible labor and delivery experience. We are forever grateful!
