Testimonial for Devon Handel
Devon’s calming presence and wealth of experience during the preparation for delivery, labor, and final delivery of my wife and I's first child ensured everything went as smoothly as possible. While the medical professionals did an excellent job of caring for my wife and the baby, Devon offered respectful and helpful suggestions and consistently sought to reassure us that everything was proceeding normally. In addition, she remained conscious of our birth plan wishes and helped us to guarantee that they were followed when my wife was focused on her labor and I was focused on supporting her.
Admittedly, I was initially skeptical of a doula's presence for my wife’s labor and the delivery of our daughter. After meeting Devon, however, I felt reassured that she would not only be a valuable asset to the birthing team, but also someone my wife and I felt comfortable around during such an intimate experience. Our experience at the hospital confirmed that we were right to choose Devon.
In addition to the labor and delivery assistance, Devon was also helpful in the stressful (and sleepless) time after the birth of our child. She was always willing to answer a question or offer support as well as direct us to other resources such as night doulas.
If you are considering a doula, or even on the fence about it, my wife and I would highly recommend you meet with Devon.
