This is almost a year late, but better late than never. I knew going into pregnancy, I wanted a doula. My goal was to go as naturally as possible. I had some complications along the way and ended up having to change course. Throughout the process, Diana was a rock for myself and my spouse. She was thoughtful, caring, and attentive. I was so lucky to have her with me during my c-section while my spouse was not allowed in the OR for the prep. I was TERRIFIED, but she has such a grounding calming presence. She helped bring me b... read more

Diana is very wise and experienced. Even just after browsing her profile online, I knew she was special. After our first meeting it only took 2 seconds for my partner and I to agree that we wanted to hire her. We often felt stuck during the birth planning process, and she helped answer all of our questions and point us into the direction we were looking for. When we met her in person, I understood what the phrase “buzzing with joy” literally felt like. And her support during the birth allowed me to let my guard down knowing ... read more

My birth experience ended up being extremely healing. I am incredibly thankful I found Diana to help me jump through my mental hurdles so I could experience the birth I originally ... read more

[TLDR: I HIGHLY recommend Diana for any expecting mom whether planning to deliver in a hospital, at a birth center, or at home. Especially if you have limited support or your partner is not as comfortable with the labor process. I absolutely would have Diana at another birth and believe her presence was worth every penny!] I can’t express how grateful I am to have had such an incredible doula experience with Diana. From our initial consultation I felt so understood, respected, empowered. Part of the intake forms includes a n... read more

Never in a million years did I think I was the kind of person who would have a doula. I’d made it through two births without one, and was actually at the end of my third pregnancy when I started talking to a close friend about my anxieties and my hopes for that labor. As I had been working through my previous birth experiences (both unplanned inductions with epidurals), I realized I had different desires for this labor, but wasn’t sure if I could do it or if it was even possible for me. Even though I still really wanted to t... read more
