Testimonial for Renée Pizzuto
Renee started our journey together by learning our preferences for childbirth and expectations of her. She then based her approach on that end. Her prenatal sessions were packed with information, education and sprinkled with plenty of humor. She's engaging and personable. She instantly feels like a friend. Renee provided a truly holistic approach to supporting childbirth. From emotional and mental preparation to physical comfort measures and helping to organize life around the arrival of a newborn. She was the person making sure I was fulfilling my desires and plans.
When I went into labor, Renee arrived at the perfect moment, just when it got too much for me to handle alone. My labor was too fast for my mind to catch up with, and in the moments of transition when I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer, I found stability in Renee's eyes. She firmly but gently reminded me where my power was. Renee's presence not only grounded me but also empowered my husband. He needed her support and the wealth of experience she brought to our home that night. His demeanor instantly relaxed when she arrived.
During the ever-changing emotions and challenges of postpartum, Renee was that present friend interested in my well-being more than just the cute newborn. She helped practically with breastfeeding and all the nuances of those first couple of weeks. Not only in the immediate postpartum period was she right there but also months later as I transitioned into motherhood.
I feel that Renee is the keeper of my story. She believed the power was already in me. How she treated me deeply affected how I thought of myself during a very impressionable and vulnerable period of my life. And that sense of care and respect is with me to this day and for always.
If you're considering adding Renee to your birth team, don't hesitate!
