Denise is an incredible doula and I recommend her to anyone. I had a particularly hard situation, unexpectedly navigating the pregnancy by myself, and Denise had total sensitivity to the physical, practical, and emotional sides. So anyone who is looking for a doula who is nonjudgmental, supportive, and sensitive to your unique situation, in addition to also being impressive, knowledgeable, experienced, and providing plenty of pregnancy resources, Denise is for you. As well: if you will be without a companion.
Denise taught me breathing techniques that got me through labor. She figured out that my epidural only distributed to one side of my body when the nurses had assumed I was in pain for a different reason. She applied pressure to my body to get me through the physical pain and kept me centered psychologically. She adapted to my schedule and was incredibly thoughtful and helpful in all our meetings. She is wonderful with babies too. I plan on keeping in touch. I can't imagine what my experience would have been without her. Thank you, Denise!
