Testimonial for Alina Betts
I can't put into words how meaningful Alina was (still is) to my family and me. We hired her as our Doula when I was about 6 months pregnant with my first baby and her support, knowledge, patience, and kindness from there on out was unmatched.
My husband and I spoke with a few other Doulas and knew as soon as we met Alina that she was the right fit. She listened to our birth plan, our hopes for the experience and all of our concerns. She made it clear that she was there to support whatever our wishes were without any judgement. She was wonderful with open communication and touched base with me after each doctorsg appointment to help talk through anything I was unsure of/ concerned about and never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her.
Once Alina she was 'on call' in the days leading up to our birth she was truly on call. We knew we could get a hold of her whenever we needed her. She kept communication lines open and kept us calm and confident throughout the process. She stayed with us through a very long and difficult labor. My husband and I both agreed that we would have had a completely different experience without Alina by our side. She never made my husband feel like she was there to replace him but rather walked us through how to labor together. She helped us feel like we were making the right decisions through the process and was there as a sounding board when the doctors and midwives talked about options and different scenarios.
Choosing a Doula is such a personal choice but if you're looking for someone who truly listens and supports your wishes, who has a very strong but calming presence, who offers her advice when asked but gives you the space to make the decision that feels right to you, and who is clearly passionate about what she does, I can't imagine anyone better than Alina.
