Debbie made the birth of our first child as stress free and peaceful as possible by instructing us in what to expect during labor and delivery and how to cope and navigate through each stage of the process. She brought peace into the delivery room through her kind touch, words of assurance, prayer, and helping move my body in a way that helped navigate the baby through the birth canal and finally into my arms. The delivery of my first child only lasted a little over 6 hours thanks to Debbie helping my body work for me and my baby to be born smoothly. In the weeks leading up to delivering, Debbie gave me a set of exercises to do in order to prepare my body for the big event and help the baby be in the proper position for birth. We did many of these exercises during labor along with massage and essential oils. With Debbie there, I was able to focus on the work of bringing my child into the world without having to worry about my environment or the details surrounding giving birth. She made the hospital room feel like I was at home. I was so glad to have the experience of feeling like I was delivering my baby at home with the assurance of being at the hospital in case something went wrong or medical care was needed. I'm looking forward to working with Debbie in the future with the birth of the rest of my children!
