A Testimonial

One of my clients from April wrote a short testimonial for my blog. I am so grateful for the feedback. Its always good to know that I helped someone have a better birth experience, especially when they weren't as satisfied as they could have been with their previous birth experiences.

We are a military family. With that comes a great deal of change and adaptation. That sentence in itself should explain why I sought out a doula.  When I became pregnant with our second child I remember how alone and frustrated I felt with the hospital birth of our first child. In order to take charge of this second birth I began toying with the idea of having a doula.  I thought, “Is having a doula necessary”?  I thought also, “Is it a wise use of money to spend when we already have so many expenses”?  Lastly, I wondered if just my family could function as support and labor coach.  Then I realized that for me, hiring a doula wasn’t a luxury, it was a necessity if I want to have a better birth experience.  And so I looked around locally and found LaReina.

LaReina filled in where my husband and family could not. She supported me during a difficult time physically and emotionally with grace, poise and gave me confidence. At a time when the doctors and hospital treated me like I was sick, LaReina reminded me that I was strong and my body was capable.   
I had the best birth, considering the circumstances that were within my control, because of LaReina’s support and guidance.
