When we started searching for a doula, two different people suggested that we talk with Devon. We knew we found the right person five minutes into our first conversation. Gentle, calm and, above all, compassionate, Devon prepared us for the Big Day and when it finally arrived – three weeks early! – she was our rock. I can barely remember the labor (as Devon says, I was in “laborland”), but my husband described the delivery team as an ensemble that was led by Devon who acted like a masterful conductor. At one moment, the midwife was about to leave thinking that the labor would take quite a while and she had the time to visit other patients, but Devon saw (or felt?) that the baby was about to arrive. She asked the midwife to stay for a little longer and the baby’s head began showing a few minutes later. Devon’s ability to actually feel the mother’s condition is a wonderful gift that very few people possess, and it makes her not just a great, but a truly outstanding doula.
