A few years ago I started my journey on a non toxic life. I learned more about a natural, unmedicated birth and knew this is what I wanted the day I became pregnant. I also decided I want to hire a birth doula to help me through the process. I told my husband my decision and he was immediately on board. We started researching doulas in our area as well as educating ourselves on exactly what they do. Renée came recommended to us and we are glad she did! We had our first initial meeting virtually and we both felt like we had known her forever. She even paid attention to our cat! Renée made it known to us how each person in your family is important during this time. We decided right away to choose her as our birth doula.
Renée was not only focused on me during my pregnancy but also considered the needs of my husband and how he would be supported during this time. He felt so confident in everything she taught him. Renée was very responsive to his questions and emails. She provided him with the tools to become a well informed dad and supportive birth coach.
Renée is more than just our doula. She became our friend. Without her we would not have had the pregnancy and labor experience we wanted. All my life I had feared labor and delivery and the pain that came along with it. I thought “give me that epidural as soon as possible!” With the help of Renée and the tools she gave me, my view completely changed. I was able to connect to my body and my baby more during my pregnancy and I looked forward to experiencing what labor and delivery was all about. My body was made for this! Renée helped me find my strength and confidence. Her knowledge and commitment to our family provided us everything we needed during and after pregnancy. I found my tribe or women, a postpartum therapist, childbirth classes, breastfeeding support, literature, and the list goes on. I never felt uncomfortable going to Renée for any advice or question I might have had, and even sometimes just to cry and vent out whatever feelings I was having at the moment. I could not be more happy with the choice I made to hire Renée. I know I can count on her for the next baby!
