My husband and I put much thought and prayer into who we would hire as a doula for the birth of our second son. We both connected with Beverly at the initial interview and sensed her realness, acceptance and compassion for others. My husband felt like he could really partner with her to support me during the birth. Beverly's real life experiences have equipped her to support families wishes regarding their birth experience rather than impose her own ideals or expectations on families. Beverly let us know that she was there for us whenever we might need her and when the time came she rose to the occasion! Beverly came and met us at our home even though we had a hospital birth planned. Having that extra support after she arrived really made those last hours of labor more livable. When we had to quickly leave for the hospital ( I got the urge to push on the way there) Beverly again was calm and available as she was able to identify and meet needs quickly without us even asking. An example of this was how she volunteered to park our van that was parked in front of the hospital so that my husband would not miss the birth and so that we would not get a ticket. When she returned we were holding our son and she was again there to support us with the initial breastfeeding and such. Beverly is a very supportive and caring person and we highly recommend her!
