Maria is an amazing doula to say the least! Going into my second pregnancy wanting a VBAC I was so nervous and knew I needed more support. I did a ton of research and found Maria! I read all her testimonies and her experience (she has experience with her own VBAC!) so I knew she was the one! She was so comfortable around me and made sure I knew all my options. When it came time, and I believed I was in labor, she was always there to answer my questions and text me back! When I went to the hospital she arrived to meet me and helped me through each contraction. Her calmness and knowledge allowed me to get through my anxiety. I was upset to know I wasn’t dilating very well so we went home. As my labor wasn’t progressing at home, I became panicked but she explained to me she knew exactly what to do to help move the baby into a better position. Even though I was in so much pain during the circuit (forgot the name) and wanted to give up she persevered for me! She wouldn’t let me give up and she kept encouraging me to get through each contraction. My water broke during the last part of the circuit so we went to the hospital! She spent the next almost 10 hours doing EVERYTHING in her power to help me and comfort me. Even though I was in my most vulnerable state, it was like I’ve known her forever. She said all the right things and kept my best interest and my babies in mind at all times. I am so happy I was able to experience my VBAC and I couldn’t have done it without Maria! Thank you!!!!
