From a new mother:
“Denise is AMAZING!!!! She is super knowledgeable and caring. She came to my home at 1:30am and stayed on her feet with me until 8am when my son was born. Her help with breastfeeding was excellent as well. I would not have made it through my delivery without her.”

From a new mother:
“Denise was so amazing during my whole labor and delivery. When my labor started, she showed up at my house at 1:45 in the morning and stayed with me the whole time until my son was born at 10:40 that night. I was able to go through the entire labor without any pain meds, and I know so much of it was from the support I got from Denise. She was there to reassure me with her vast experience and had such a calming presence. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a doula.”

From a mother of 6:
“Very educational website! I especially love the reassuring information regarding dads. It was very important to my husband NOT to be excluded from any part of our son’s birth, and this website gave us the vital information we needed about a doula’s role. Great photos too.”

From a new mom:

From a Mother of 6:
“Denise was a great blessing as a labor companion at the birth of our 6th child, Benjamin. Her calm demeanor helped keep me focused on my breathing and relaxation. She journaled for me, prayed with and for me, took great pictures, interceded with the medical staff on my behalf (and literally saved me a lot of pain and grief by getting me to push the placenta out on my own rather than have the doctor retrieve it). It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend her.” |

From Attending OB:
“During the time of labor and especially at the time of delivery, I found Denise very helpful and reassuring to my patient and her husband. She had a good understanding of basic obstetrical principles and was able to explain and comfort the patient through various media. During the delivery, she was very reassuring to the patient and complementary to my delivery style. Especially during the tenuous time of a retained placenta, Denise was very supportive, reassuring and helpful in the management of this condition.
She clearly was an asset to the labor experience for my patient and her husband. I have no reservations about her professionalism and expertise as a doula.”

From a new father:
“Denise was such a hopeful solution to a confusing situation. Her knowledge and guidance not only delivered a calm atmosphere, but delivered our first baby into a well-prepared and able home. Denise's preparation enabled us to completely relax and concentrate on the baby rather than the last minute details. We are so thankful for her abilities and being a crucial beginning in our family.”
