Testimonial for Angelina Valentin, CD(BAI)
According to dictionary.reference.com the definition of testimonial is:
1. A written declaration certifying to a person's character, conduct, or qualifications, or to the value, excellence, etc., of a thing; a letter or written statement of recommendation.
2. Something given or done as an expression of esteem, admiration, or gratitude.
People seldom take the time to leave a review of something they like. It seems like all we are ever exposed to is the negatives. Honestly, I was not going to take the time to write a testimonial until I saw the horrible representation of this doula.
My story:
I found Angie when I was about twenty weeks pregnant with my only child. First we emailed. Angie always responded in a professional and timely manner. Second we spoke on the phone. She was nice, understanding, personable and professional. Then we met in person. She was everything that she represented herself to be. I immediately felt comfortable with her. After a few days and meeting with a few more doulas, my husband and I decided to hire her.
Being my first pregnancy I had a lot of questions. Angie always answered my emails and phone calls in a friendly, professional tone quickly. She went above and beyond her duties to make me happy and feel informed. Angie even went with me to meet my midwife which was a hours drive away.
When the day came for me to have my baby, Angie met us at the hospital. She stayed with us and supported both my husband and I needed. Again, she went above and beyond taking care of both of us.
She was in the hospital with us, constantly supporting us and making nurses and doctors aware of our birth plan. Angie is a dedicated, hard worker who really takes the time to get to know her clients and their needs.
I am very grateful that I met Angie and she was the one there supporting me and helping me bring my child into this world.
