[Angelica’s] work with us before and after delivery made us feel much more comfortable and prepared to be new parents.

Written By Robby Pande

Working with Angelica was one of the most important things we did to prepare for our baby. In addition to her calm, supportive and assertive presence in the delivery room – including advocacy that likely prevented some nasty perineal tearing – her work with us before and after delivery made us feel much more comfortable and prepared to be new parents.

Among other things, Angelica gave us a list for our registry (spot on; we've used everything), shared a nuanced perspective on our hospital's approach to labor and delivery, took a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to her advice, and helped us settle in a few days after bringing our baby home. Talking through the labor and delivery experience a few days after discharge was also extremely helpful.  I encountered a number of people who were still processing their delivery experience years later, and being able to have an in-depth discussion gave me a sense of closure. (Even though I had a positive and uneventful delivery, having a baby is a lot!)

I'm so grateful that Angelica was part of our journey to becoming parents. She made the process of preparing to have a baby much less stressful for me and my husband, and took the pressure off of both of us when I went into labor. I would recommend her to anyone.

We would absolutely recommend Angelica if you're looking for a Doula who is knowledgeable and exudes a sense of calmness and warmth.
