We 100% believe in the value that a doula can bring to ensuring a positive birthing experience. It is especially thanks to Angelica that we were able to have this positive birth experience.

As first time parents, we were overwhelmed by the sea of information on the birthing process and medical system, and sought the help of a doula to help navigate this, as well as alleviate some of the anxiety I was feeling around giving birth. Angelica helped us craft our birth plan, taking us through decision points step-by-step and explaining the considerations through both anecdotal and data driven evidence. One of the first suggestions she made was that I change hospitals as I wanted to avoid a c-section as much as possible, and she helped me through the whole process including finding a corresponding ob provider that took my insurance, and in the end, this was one of the best decisions we made! The day of the birth, my husband and I were so relieved that Angelica was with us throughout the entire process. We were faced with making a couple decisions that we wouldn’t have known how to make had we not had Angelica’s guidance and experience. She also made sure to ask about and insist for everything I was anxious about - vaginal tearing, golden hour, breastfeeding, etc. Before this pregnancy, we did not even know what a doula was, but now, we 100% believe in the value that a doula can bring to ensuring a positive birthing experience. It is especially thanks to Angelica that we were able to have this positive birth experience for the arrival of our daughter, and we couldn’t be happier!
