I will forever sing the praises of Renée.
I have had four children. My first two without a doula and while my experience was beautiful, I do not have a story that is anything you wouldn’t hear of, my last two were everything I could have ever wanted. Homebirth interested me from the beginning, but without the knowledge and the confidence, I didn’t do it. For my third babe, I found an amazing midwife and Renée. Renée and I did the work to face the things that I feared, I learned so much about birth and the process of the body going through birth. I felt comfortable and confident in my birth plan and my ability to manage the pain. When the day came, I was blown away. Renée kept me settled, grounded. I brought my baby into the world exactly how I had wanted and I felt supported, loved and so amazing.
Of course, when I became pregnant with my fourth baby, I knew exactly what I needed to do. And again, my birth was magic. This is the hardest work I have ever done and Renée not only made it manageable, she made it enjoyable. Thanks to the most wonderful supportive team, I was able to have the most beautiful experience. Renée was my strength, my sound mind, my reminder to stay present. My world has been completely changed by my journey into motherhood. So much of my confidence as a mother is found in my births and as I found myself creating the births that I had always wanted, I found myself complete as a mother.
Thank you Renée, for all you lead me to.
