Testimonial for Debbie Couture
As a soon to be first time father, Deb was an incredible partner to assist my wife and I in our (wife's!) first birth. At the root of the relationship, Deb was an incredibly kind soul that made us feel comfortable from the start. She came over multiple times to meet us, our dog, understand our birth plan, answer any questions we had, and help with anything we weren't thinking about yet.
Once prelabor started, and we inevitably called Deb hours into it at 11pm on a Sunday - she picked up immediatly, provided good direction for the next few hours, and was prepared to come over pending our notification to help with making the call of when to go to the hospital from home. Our goal was a natural birth, and Deb helped us stay at the house before safely going to the hospital. We arrived at 7cm dialation and Deb helped with the intake process and into the delivery room.
In the delivery room, Deb's soft skills and loving personality continued to shine - as well as her background as a massage therapsit! Her hands helped relieve my wife of pain and tension, and helped show me how I could be of assistance in different ways throughout the birth. She was an advocate for my wife, and helped keep us on track with the goals that we had previously outlined. If we were giving birth again, there's no doubt we'd want Deb to be by our side and assist in the
process. I cannot reccomend Debbie enough and hope that your family trusts Deb and has as smooth a birth as we did.
