We worked with Lynn for our birth doula doula and Royan and Nobee for postpartum help and our daughter’s birth and first few weeks of her life were made something to be enjoyed instead of survived thanks to all their loving and professional assistance.
I had always planned on an epidural so wasn’t totally sure I would need a doula but Lynn absolutely made my birth experience. She knew how to massage me and guide me through different positions even after my epidural and I felt safe and cared for and could just focus on getting to meet my baby instead of being afraid, which is exactly what I had hoped for. My daughter’s birth was a wonderful experience because of her. She was also great at helping my partner know how to help me and involving him in the birth. Lynn, my nurse, and my husband truly worked as a team to be there for me as I brought her into the world, which was the hardest and most meaningful thing I have ever done.
After she was born, Royan’s assistance as a night doula was also invaluable. She taught us how to bathe her, swaddle her, soothe her. I struggled to breastfeed and she was there to help me but also completely respected my decision to move to formula and helped us make that transition. Nobee also came a few nights to support us and was so warm and kind. It was so wonderful to go up to bed and get some sleep and know our baby was downstairs in great hands for the night. Getting some sleep and some help is the best investment you can make in getting your new family off on the right foot, and I’m so thankful we were able to work with the team at Birth You Desire. Thank you all!!!
