Testimonial for Dinorah Santana

My birth experience was made so much better with Dinorah's support and presence! This was my second pregnancy and I my first journey as a surrogate. This pregnancy was much more challenging than my pregnancy with my son. I unexpectedly had to get induced at 37 weeks due to gestational hypertension and, although her on-call had not technically started, she was available by phone right away and came to the hospital when I needed her.

Her soothing and gentle presence was so helpful in the birth room! The pitocin contractions were intense and they had some difficulty getting the epidural in. Dinorah helped me breathe through everything.

She used essential oils to make the room feel more inviting. Peppermint really helped with my nausea and vomiting while laboring(as did her tying up my hair for me!). She also helped support my husband during the process.

She was with me every step of the way and I couldn't be more grateful! I highly recommend Dinorah!!!
