Vonda was my Doula for my first child, my fiance and I didnt know what to expect, but she helped us so very much.
Vonda was amazing, she is sweet and caring and has such a wonderful personality.
She came to meet me and my family in the hospital as soon as she could. She stayed with me almost the whole time.
She helped keep the atmospher warm and peaceful and easy going.
She was able to video tape my labor, delivery and birth upon my request.
she used oils in a defuser and she would give me oils to try and help start my labor.
She gave me advice on medications and proceedures.
She spent time on explaining everthing I had questions on.
She never rushed me, but was there for my fiance and I.
She helped keep me moving.
Vonda focused on me as a person as well as my daughter.
She kept the health of my daughter and I as the main focus in the labor and delivery.
She helped keep the communication going and my wishes understood between the midwife and nurses.
She was exactly what I needed in the delivery, she helped me focus, breathe and stay calm and centered among other things, and wasnt overbearing in anyway.
She helped coach my coach so that he was able to help me.
She was able to work well with everyone in the room. (my mother, fiance, midwife and nurse.)
She did not make any suggestions that did not benefit myself or my baby.
Her postpartum services were helpful as well. She made placenta pills for me, it took me alot to get to take them, but they made my postpartum better. I went a week without taking them and the effects showed. I would highly recommend using that part of Vonda's sevices.
I highly recommened Vonda as a doula. She was so helpful and knowledgable in all that she did. She was respectful and courteous. i would love to have her again.
