She is not trustable and should not be in this business. She is filled with lies/BS. Story is I found Angelina "Angie" Valentin online and I talked with Angie to being my birth Doula and she mentioned that she is available via email. So then I met her personally and confirmed my date with her. Even I booked my first appointment with her and gave deposit check. During that time I was talking with other doulas and I cancelled with all of them after re-confirming with Angie on next day. Just a week before our first appointment, Angie emailed me saying that she can’t do as one of her existing client want her for more days (maybe she is getting more money). I was shocked/surprised, as only few weeks were left in my due date. After that I tried to call her but no answer from her. On emailing her that how she can do this to me as she already took my deposit and confirmed. She said that she is mailing my check back to me and she has not signed any contract with me (But while giving me contract she said “I don’t need to worry about it and her words are enough”). At this point I got the message that she found someone else who is giving her more money. It’s sad to see and more sad is when I met her, I was deceived by her nice talk and liked her but scared to see that how she flipped later. She is the person which makes me feel “Life is not fair”. I hope after reading this someone will get saved and will not get into her nice talk. Especially during your birth when you are so weak/fragile, you don’t want this kind of person.
I would thank God for her not being my Doula. I hope no one else get into her fake trap as I did and made my few last week of pregnancy stressful.
