Testimonial for Maria Maloney
Maria is the best! Overall, Maria is amazing and supportive, both emotionally and with science backed research. I am convinced that having Maria part of my birth journey is what made it such a positive experience for my whole family. I am definitely looking forward to working with her again and am planning on contacting her the moment I find out I am pregnant again! More details below:
Maria was the best fit for us. She worked with us to tailor a package that fit our needs. Maria was a great listener, envoked great conversations between my husband and me, and was very responsive to any questions we asked. She was able to provide us research backed information to help guide our decisions.
During early labor, Maria was very responsive by phone and text while I was briefly in the hospital. She helped lay out my options and risks and supported me in my decision to labor at home. While laboring at home, Maria checked in often and sent me resources. I felt supported and comfortable through every step. Maria even had to step out for a bit while another client went into labor. Maria made sure that I was comfortable with her back up doula, who was also fantastic. Lucky for me, Maria was back with me before my labor progressed.
When I went to the hospital, Maria was there to meet us and again was very supportive. She made sure that all the hospital staff was aware of my birth preferences. She even went and bought us dinner while I napped after my epidural and it was clear that I would give birth after the hospital kitchen closed. Through labor and post labor, Maria helped navigate every decision that needed to be made and helped both my husband and I understand everything that was going on. Lastly, we asked Maria to have a postpartum visit about a month after birth. She helped me with pumping, breastfeeding, trying to get our baby to nap, folded laundry, and helped us navigate our emotions after birth and with a baby in the house.
