We were interested in a doula that had experience with the Spinning Babies approach and it brought us to Hilbre Doula. It was the best decision we made for the birth of our second baby. We had several one on one prep classes with Dawn prior to the birth and found her to be incredibly warm and easy to connect with. She tailored each session to our particular needs, especially as it was our second baby. Each session left me more confident and ready for the birth process. I ended up being induced and the baby was presenting sunny-side up. My labor was incredibly intense and my hospital support was not particularly helpful. Once Dawn arrived for the birth it was like a breath of fresh air. She immediately took charge and was my advocate with the hospital staff. She adjusted the bed and positioned me in a way that seemed to immediately turn the baby and I was ready to deliver in what felt like minutes. Because the labor sped up so quickly once she arrived, she helped to guide me through breathing techniques that kept things progressing in a safe way. When I was being pressured to deliver from a position that the hospital staff wanted me in, she helped to advocate for a more upright position. I honestly can't say enough good things about Dawn of Hilbre Doula. She was worth every penny of her services and I would use her again in a heartbeat.
