Diana felt like a part of our family since the moment we met her when I was in my third trimester of pregnancy. I am so thankful for all the helpful resources, exercises and tips she provided during my pregnancy to prepare me well for labor. We talked through my birth plan and preferences and she provided research based advice on questions I had about pain management and labor progression interventions. When I went into labor a few days early, Diana consistently was checking in via phone and text to help my husband support and mediate my contractions until we got to the hospital. At the hospital Diana was a huge advocate for my comfort and positioning to help my labor progress and made the hospital room enviroment very relaxing and peaceful with massages, lavender scented lotions and meditation music playing in the background. I felt so at ease with her presence knowing she was willing to embrace all the nitty gritty rawness of labor with me. She coached me through delivery and helped baby latch for nursing which I credit to his amazing ability to latch and feed right away! Her postpartum visits assisted with my healing and educating us on taking care of our newborn as first time parents. I feel so lucky to have been able to have Diana for my first pregnancy + delivery and hope to continue having her be a part of our child's life!
