Testimonial for Ines Serna, MS,CCCE,CD(DONA)
I cannot thank Ines enough for being my doula. Her dedication and love for this role shines through every message and day-of actions during my entire pregnancy and labor journey. As soon as we chose Ines to be our Doula, she constantly kept tabs on me and my health and the babies health and gave us tips and pointers as the weeks progressed. Where she stood out the most was on the day of my labor. My contractions started at 12:30am and we called Ines at 4:00am in the morning when the contraction pains started to get stronger. She immediately picked up and came to our house. During the early stages of my labor, I was in a lot of pain and as soon as she came, she immediately worked on different excercises and massages on me that eased my pain and made me have very purposeful and deep contractions that sped up my labor. Her calm energy, education, knowledge and know-how of the entire labor process was INCREDIBLE. My husband followed her every direction and we felt at peace and in control of the labor process. Not only that, but she respected my every wish of wanting a non-medicated birth and advocated for me when we got to the hospital. She knew how to work with the nurses without getting in their way and knew how to work with them to benefit me. I gave birth 3 hours after we arrived to the hospital and Ines was by my side for every minute. She was incredibly proactive and continued to ease my discomfort with different tools, massages, breathing techniques, essential oils and positions that made my experience even more positive. Later, after my baby was born, we discovered that Ines was missing her son's First Communion!! It comes to show her dedication and love for her job as a Doula. I commend her for her full support and putting mother and baby first.
I will absolutely be working with her again and promoting her as the best doula in the NJ/NY area.
