Testimonial for Desirae Whittle
When the nurses & midwife say, ‘your doula was AWESOME!’ after Desirae leaves the labor room you know (if you didn’t already) you’ve found a good one.
Desirae was an instrumental part of my birth team, and I firmly believe her presence changed the path of my labor for the better. Not only did she help with the more obvious things like positioning, breathing, decision making, etc. but she was also focused and in tune with more subtle things like my mindset. She saw when my energy needed to be lifted and was telling funny stories and changing the music to help shift the mood – I didn’t fully realize what she was doing until thinking back through the labor experience after the fact. She provided the things I knew I needed, and things I hadn’t even thought of.
Her support leading up to and after labor made my husband and I feel supported and connected to her in a way we didn’t expect coming in. Even a few months postpartum Desirae has connected me with a group of moms for weekly coffee dates and walks – it’s helped me overcome some initial hesitancy to leave the house with a new babe… and being able to talk to and relate with other moms is always a highlight of my week.
Working with Desirae has exceeded my expectations of working with a Doula. I hope all the pregnant women there can find the level of support I have found.
