Testimonial for Adele Callfas CBD/CPD CVD
I would highly recommend Adele's services for your birth and postpartum care.
We first contacted Adele two weeks before our son was due. This was unusually close to the potential date of birth. I was a bit apprehensive about this as people usually work with a Doula much further in advance to support them through pregnancy and establish a rapport. However, Adele responded quickly to our emails and arranged to come over and meet us a few days later on her birthday, despite the short-notice.
It was a long birth process but Adele was there from start to finish on the evening of Thanksgiving, a 36 hour experience. Although Adele had said that she would be there throughout the birth, this was a far longer period of support than I had ever expected or hoped would be provided. Adele was an invaluable resource during the birth for both myself and my husband. Although we had done a lot of preparation ourselves it was a huge relief to have someone present who knew our wishes, had extensive experience, and was there to support us in discussions with the hospital birthing team. It would have been a far more stressful experience without Adele and I could not recommend her services more highly. Adele is very generous with her time and resources, going above and beyond to ensure she provides the support her clients need.
Adele also provided postpartum support to us following the birth, visiting us at the hospital and at home a number of times, providing both knowledge and emotional support during recovery. As we don't have family close by we also requested that Adele provide postpartum support in the form of a few hours a week looking after my son. This gave me some time to myself and meant we could access her expertise for a longer period after the birth. Adele is now the trusted resource for childcare for our family.
