Testimonial for Ana Hernandez
We decided fairly late into pregnancy that we wanted a doula. Ana was very accommodating, working with our compressed schedule to get us the information we needed in order to have our child our way.
Ana is very knowledgeable; she helped us to understand our options. She also was very helpful when unexpected issues arose (such as our baby being breech!), giving us the best natural methods to encourage our baby to flip so that we could have a natural birth (and they worked: I gave birth naturally and without pain medication, just as I had wanted!).
She has a calming presence, helping to bring a peacefulness and acceptance to the birth itself.
Ana’s postpartum care is hugely helpful. To give two examples, we were getting very little sleep because we had to trade off our newborn, swapping who slept and who stayed up with her. Ana showed us some sleeping techniques – simple but very effective – and now we can both sleep most of the night! Another example was burping technique: more gentle and effective than the standard “hit the baby on the back”. Her food is delicious and nutritious too!
