I cannot recommend Denise highly enough! She was with me for the birth of my son in 2020 and I emailed her as soon as I knew I would be having another baby in 2024. She is incredibly professional, communicates clearly and promptly and has such a wide and deep well of experience that she brings into your birthing room and the support you need in the weeks leading up to it. Denise sets a calm and empowered tone in the room and works WITH your partner and the nurses and doctor to make sure you are supported and aware of every step. She is your advocate and champion and a master of reading the energy- when to tell your partner they should grab food during a lull for example, and when to encourage vs sooth vs coach based on where you are at. She had so many supportive tools on hand and never made me feel overwhelmed with choice. She always made me feel like I had someone there for ME and that anything could be explained and that we were working together to bring my baby into the world. She's the absolute best and I will forever be grateful she was a part of making my births supported and safe experiences.
