Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)

I feel truly blessed to have had Adriana as our doula. I first met Adriana at the prenatal yoga class she teaches and I remember enjoying her calm energy right from the start. I knew that I wanted to have a natural childbirth and Adriana was such a huge part of us having the natural childbirth experience we wanted.

Adriana was so insightful, compassionate and supportive in helping us prepare for labor, delivery and parenthood. She was always open to our questions, helped us tremendously in preparing our birth plan, and if I needed a sympathetic ear, Adriana was there for me to talk to. During my labor and delivery she was a nurturing and calm presence. Adriana was also very supportive of my husband wanting to be involved during labor and delivery - she would often suggest things that he could do to help. I look back on my labor with fond memories of walking, talking, laughing, breathing and doing yoga moves with Adriana and my husband to help my labor progress. She and my husband made an amazing team – I am so thankful for them both.

After delivering in a hospital that was touted as “pro” natural childbirth, I realize just how fortunate we were to have Adriana’s guidance. She and our midwife worked great together and she helped me stay focused and strong during labor and delivery, attending to my every need along with my husband. She helped us navigate the pressures we faced with the hospital staff – ultimately helping us achieve the natural birth experience that we wanted.

Having Adriana as our Doula was an honor and one of the best decisions we ever made. We will definitely be asking her to be our Doula for all our future children.
