Throughout my pregnancy, I had been learning about doula services and wanted to be sure I had access to a woman with professional expertise who could confidently offer guidance for the event of my child's birth. About 1 month before the birth of my son, I found Adelaine's listing and she seemed to be a great match presenting exactly what I was looking for. After reading her testimonials, I knew I had to reach out and meet with her. Adelaine came to my home and hugged me at my door- right away I felt so comfortable with her and could see how passionate she is about the birth experience. She offered a wealth of information; even before I hired her, that first day, she counseled me about my care team and personal support ground, provided samples of birth plans, and answered all the questions I had- a weight had been lifted! As a first time mom, having a doula who could be present for my child's birth was a goal of mine- I knew my husband as well as myself would need the extra support to this brand new adventure with all its twists and turns. Her presence there was invaluable! During our hospital stay Adelaine advocated for my needs with hospital staff and reinforced support according to my birth plan throughout my labor and delivery and helped me meet as many goals for natural birth as possible. Not only did she aid in this before I went to the hospital and during our stay, Adelaine remained with us after the birth and made sure my family and I were comfortable and able to rest easy before her time with us was completed, late into the night. She followed up with a visit post partum and has continued to ask about us over text. Adelaine had become a true and valued resource as well as a friend, and we cannot thank her enough for her helpfulness and skill throughout. Thank you again for everything!!
