(continued from above) From my first call to Renee just a few days before my induction to the moment we met at the hospital for the first time, she helped me transform my feelings of worry, internal disappointment and downright fear of the birthing process into an intuitive sense of confidence — a deep knowing that this entire birth story was one that I would consciously be the creator and the author of.
I leaned fully into Renee’s powerful coaching and trusted her to guide me through the entire process of labor and delivery. In that process, she taught me how to make every decision, both psychological and physical, out of a place of abundance — not of fear. From the meditations to the massages, even to the hilarious banter Renee provided to my husband when she sensed his restlessness… this woman’s energy and level of skill during this entire experience somehow transcended the professional plane. Her approach to her work is powered by a strong spiritual love for helping to bring life into this world… and preparing mothers to nurture themselves and their babies.
Whether it’s proper breastfeeding technique, holistic healing practices, tips on proper newborn care, or coaching sessions on mental resilience and gratitude, the tools Renee has armed me with continue to benefit me even now, after our postpartum visit. Now — in the fourth trimester — when so much of a mother’s tired footing often seems like it’s on uneven ground, now is when I’m able to really process the true value of Renee’s services. And knowing I can reach out to her as a resource, a wingwoman, even a sounding board to try and make sense of my own internal dialogue as a mom is as invaluable as it is comforting.
To put it into Renée’s words, “I’ve become woven into your story… and you’ve become woven into mine.”
