Testimonial for Debbie Castelbuono

We used Debbie as the doula for our firstborn son, born on 2/20/2013. We knew right when we met Debbie that she would be perfect. She has had experience delivering naturally and has helped mothers deliver many babies. She came across as very confident, but also perceptive, and we found this to be a perfect combination during labor. I ended up going into prodromal labor. Debbie helped my husband and I know what to expect in the coming days. On day two of prodromal labor, Debbie came over and helped adjust my hips in a way that really got labor going. Before we knew it, I was in active labor. During labor, she knew exactly which pressure points to use to help relieve the contractions. She also knew how often I should change positions to help move labor along. After about 4 hours of active labor, we knew it was time to head to the hospital. I got to the hospital at 10 cm, which was perfect because I really didn't want to labor at the hospital for long. Debbie and my husband helped me with different push positions and before long, our beautiful baby boy was in my arms, alert and healthy. Exactly as I'd hoped when I decided to try for a natural delivery. I never would've been able to deliver naturally without Debbie by my side. My husband and I highly recommend her!
