Hiring Renée was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy! This was our second baby and our chance to take a more natural path after many interventions with the birth of our daughter. Renée gave us the tools and evidence based information to help us stay the course and prepare for our son’s birth.
Being pregnant during a pandemic was never what we had imagined, but Renée was the steady hand helping us navigate through the process. When I had doubts about the medical team I had chosen well into my third trimester, Renée helped empower me to trust my gut and switch to a new care provider. The new birth team was exactly what I had always envisioned and was completely supportive of the natural approach that we wanted to take.
Leading up to his birth, Renée taught us breathing techniques and coping mechanisms to help work through contractions, which were incredibly useful. When I went into labor and things didn’t exactly go according to plan, Renée was the calm presence that supported us both during a highly stressful situation. She was exactly what we needed to remind us of our intentions and keep us focused as we welcomed our son. With her help we were able to have the natural delivery that we had wanted. She also helped us establish breastfeeding shortly after he was born, and was available to answer questions and offer tips in the coming days. She was always just a phone call or text away, and always eager and willing to help.
When we look back on our son’s birth, there was not much we could control, but the one thing we could do was assemble a team that shared the same vision as we did. Renée was an invaluable part of that birth team and we will always be grateful for support!
