Barb’s experience and care really shone through during my marathon labour with our first child. She was a fantastic, tireless supporter throughout and seamlessly fitted in with the rest of my birth team; my midwife, mum and husband.
She knew exactly what was needed; be it massage, words of encouragement, guiding me with coping techniques or just being there for moral support. The breathing pattern she showed us really helped me manage without any pain medication for a long time.
Even though circumstances meant that we had to change our birth plan; the people and support around me meant that my birth experience was still an amazingly positive one. Barb, with her warm character and unjudgmental attitude, was an integral part in this. She has become much more than our doula and we look forward to many years of friendship.
