At 36 weeks pregnant, I found mysef in a bind as my doula had to break up with me due to surgery. I was SO grateful for the Universe/God sending me Ginnie. I know in RVA it can be hard to find someone wonderful available on such short notice. I contacted A Brighter Birth and in less than 12 hours, I had an email from Ginnie following up. We met over Zoom shortly after, and then she came to my house to meet in person and go over birth and all the things. I really appreciated her quick replies, and I definitely felt at ease and comfortable around Ginnie. I had met a few other Doulas, and I definitely felt like Ginnie was truly invested and cared about me and my child.
When I was in labor, Ginnie never left our side. She went with us from the birth center to the hospital, and was there working with me, my husband, and the L&D nurses the whole time. When needed, she'd be right there cheering me on, or a quiet support taking the back seat in the room when things were calm. I am happy to say I can call on Ginnie for anything birth/mom/parenting/postpartum related (literally anything!) and she will answer right away. If she doesn't know the answer to a question, she'll research and follow up when she does.
I'd definitely recommend working with Ginnie! Thanks for such a wonderful experience. My 3rd birth but 1st with a Doula! :)
