Choosing Patty as our doula for our second child was a no-brainer for my husband and I. Patty is extremely knowledgeable and all things regarding pregnancy and labor, and even helped me with some tips regarding early postpartum and newborn stages. During the days leading up to my labor, Patty and I kept in touch and she was extremely quick to respond to all my messages as well as my husbands messages. On the evening of my labor, Patty helped me with some movement tips as well as activities I should be doing in order to get baby in the correct position for labor to proceed well. Throughout my entire pregnancy, and specifically during my labor, Patty was extremely calm, and very positive. She was always giving me positive affirmations, and continuing to remind me that I was built for labor, and I was built to bring this baby into the world. I am so grateful for Patty's knowledge on labor and how things can progress. Her recommendations helped our baby boy get into the right position and be born safely and peacefully at home. Patty's photography skill is truly unmatched as well. I'm so grateful that she was able to take photos during her birth, because these are memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Not only is Patty, extremely passionate and professional but for us, she's truly become a close friend and a part of our family, as she's been a part of the birth of both of our sons.
