Testimonial for Desirae Whittle

My wife and I had taken a class to educate new parents so they understand the birthing process. By the end of the course, I knew that I was woefully unprepared to advocate on behalf of my family, especially in regards to navigating any deviations that may arise during the labor process.  In the movies, having a baby seems so routine; water breaks, rush to the hospital, father-to-be holds mom's hand while after a series of pushes and endearing expletives a beautiful baby appears.  Instead of leaving me feeling prepared, I knew the business of birthing was far too complex for my wife and I to navigate with confidence. That's when I made the choice to hire a doula. 

Hiring Desirae was the best decision I ever made. 

What set her apart from everyone else was the fact that I recognized this was a "boss bitch" that not only understood our wishes but was capable of assisting during difficult decisions and advocate on our behalf.


After days of induction attempts it was clear nothing was going to follow previously referenced  movie plot.  Once the contractions had begun I phoned Desirae who immediately showed up with a bag full of magic tricks I never imagined my wife would need and made all the difference in the world. I was out of my element and Desirae was a solid rock of calming positivity and creativity. She choreographed my wife through a series of maneuvers that make me think she taught acro-yoga or spent her precious life as a circus performer  

 

Desirae was an extension of my family, a partner, with the experience I could only dream of, providing clever snacks, bringing coffee, cracking jokes and dancing along with us. I love this woman so much I can't say enough positive things about her and her consummate professionalism. Thank you Desirae... for everything.
