Patty was my doula for the births of both my children and she was invaluable both times. My first was a hospital birth (April 2021) and Patty was huge source of information, support, and comfort during my labor and birth in the hospital. She helped me advocate for myself and helped me acheive a positive birth experience despite some deviations from my birth plan and some complications that came up before and during my labor. My second birth I decided to do things differently and I had an incredibly empowering birth in a birth center (March 2023). Patty was my confidant in preparing for birth and she gave me the additional confidence in myself that I needed to acheive the physiologic birth that I dreamed I could have. She believed in me and held space for me throughout the process. Patty took beautiful photos that I will cherish forever. She helped me and my husband during the very intimate and special hours immediately following my daughter's birth. She also helped my recovery begin in the best way possible. I will look back so fondly on my memories of that birth and the peaceful hours after my daughter came into the world. Patty helped make that possible. I'm thankful to have her as my doula and my friend.
