Hiring Adele was the single best decision we made on the journey of having our first baby. She has been beyond generous in giving her time and attentiveness to meet our needs as they arose and also providing relevant resources and practical tools. Adele’s passion for her clients and the wholistic birthing journey is a defining element of everything she does as a doula. Her groundedness gave me confidence as we navigated the unexpected twists and turns of our birthing experience. She was a life line for me as we navigated a million decisions that came with an induced unmedicated delivery. I look back at our experience and know that she is a primary reason I feel so proud of our labour and delivery story. Adele also went above and beyond to support us in the postpartum phase. She met us at home after discharge from the hospital and brought a wave of reassurance and support with lactation cookies, homemade nipple cream and hours of hands on support in the crucial first hours of breastfeeding. Adele continued to be a try lifeline as we encountered challenges with nursing in the first week. She did not hesitate to come to our house with arm loads of tools, resources and a can do attitude. Adele has an ability to offer ideas and guidance without being overbearing or intrusive. I don’t know what we have done without her! I honestly feel so humbled and taken back by the level of support she has given us and couldn’t be more grateful for the genuine care we have received.
