I worked with Ires throughout my whole pregnancy and it was a wonderful experience. In addition to doula services, Ires leads a weekly prenatal yoga class and a periodic labor & delivery class. I attended the yoga class starting early in my first trimester and the L&D class in my second trimester. I started working 1:1 with Ires as a doula in my second trimester.
Ires came to my home for multiple labor prep visits and a postpartum visit. She spent time getting to know me and my partner to understand our backgrounds and attitudes about birth. We had long discussions and she helped us put together a birth plan that I felt good about. When it was time for labor, I felt prepared and calm. Ires coached me through me the process and came to my home during early labor and the hospital during late labor. The birth went so well and it’s absolutely due to Ires’ help!
