Testimonial for Donna Rigert

My sister recommended Donna as soon as I told her I was pregnant, and we are so glad she did! My husband and I were very nervous about the labor process, due to this being our first child. We weren't sure what to expect and no matter how many books we read, we still didn't feel prepared. We met Donna at a coffee shop for the first time and she was so warm and friendly. We immediately felt at ease. A month or so later she came to our home and spoke with us about our fears, expectations and gave me exercises I could do to prepare for labor. At the hospital she was nothing but supportive and helpful. She used massage, relaxing music and positive thoughts to calm my nerves. She assisted the nurses by suggesting effective pushing techniques and when our son Nathan finally arrived after 20 hours of labor, she took wonderful pictures of our family and guided me through my first nursing experience. She made the birth of our son such a positive experience and we highly recommend her as a doula!
