Testimonial for Diane Tabilo, LCSW, CD(DONA) - Bilingual
I decided to seek out a doula for my first time shortly when I was pregnant with our fourth child. Diane was someone who immediately stood out to me. After reading some reviews I decided to reach out to her. She was very friendly, listened with a patient and understanding heart, and I felt at that first interview that I didn't think there was any doula that could be a better match for me.
Diane was responsive throughout my pregnancy, and was communicative without being intrusive or dismissive.
Diane is a great advocate for home birth, and really made my at-first resistant husband much more comfortable with the idea of having our baby at home. In his words to Diane during our in-person interview, "I already feel a lot better knowing you will be there."
When labor began she answered at my first call, even though it was the middle of the night. She gave helpful reminders to me during the labor, and assisted with some hip squeezes but respected my husband's role of primary support at the same time. She also made sure my husband was taking care of himself so that he could be the best support for me. This was incredibly important to me that someone was watching out for him, just as well as me.
Our whole birth team was amazing, and Diane played no small role. Diane was very good about remembering our preferences and I appreciated having an extra person that I knew was on my side for a safe and joyful birth experience.
My husband, for the first time after 3 hospital births, was able to say that our home birth was an experience he enjoyed and I know Diane was there to help boost his confidence and comfort, and in so doing relieve stress that he would have otherwise felt without her. We really appreciate Diane and would encourage anyone looking for a doula service to reach out to her to see if she would be a match for you!
