I found Donna through doula match after my first child's birth was very difficult and traumatic for myself and my husband. Donna was an amazing support, she was a joy and a delight to talk to, she payed special attention to our daughter on her visits. She helped us express what we really wanted out of this second birth experience and supported us advocating for that in hospital. She worked seamlessly with the rest of my care team to help us through a whirlwind fast second labor and delivery. I can remember hearing her voice while I was in transition and pushing telling me what a good job I was doing and I would soon meet my son.
She checked in with us via text after my delivery a few times and then came to visit and bring me lactation cookies and have a bit of a debrief of the experience. I would absolutely recommend Donna as a doula to anyone who needs someone in their corner for their birth experience. She reminds me of the aunt who sneaks you sips of her margarita at the family BBQ. We're so pleased and grateful to have had her as a part of our birth.
