Client Testimonials
So glad she was there!
I had a long labor and was so grateful Marina was there throughout the entire process. I was more confident, and less stressed because she was my doula. I am so appreciative of her help and support before, during and after my birth. I don’t have words to express my gratitude.
We hope to work with her again
My husband and I appreciate all Marina did as my doula for my first child in July 2021. She was helpful and responsive before, during and after my labor and delivery. She made suggestions and assisted with hands on support throughout the night. If we have another child, we hope to work with her again. I think that is the best compliment I can give. I highly recommend finding a doula you feel comfortable with and Marina was a perfect fit for me.
What a wonderful birth experience!
Marina made my first birth experience AMAZING! From helping me figure out the questions to ask the nurses/doctors throughout my pregnancy, to providing the information needed to create my birth plan. She was an advocate for my well-being throughout the entire process and made sure that my birth plan was executed and that I was personally okay with everything going on in the room. She was such a calming and helpful presence in the room that I couldn’t imagine doing it without her there, her knowledge of the entire pregnancy/birth process is so in-depth that it truly prepares you for birth. What I didn’t realize, is that without her, there is little to no guidance on the processes of child birth/motherhood from the doctors or nurses. Plus her follow-up afterward was so helpful because she truly will help and answer as many questions as you have throughout this new experience.
I reccomend her services to any family
We were lucky enough to have Marina involved with our 2nd and last pregnancy during the pandemic in 2020. Our last baby was 6 years prior and we had a complicated delivery. Needless to say the anxiety was high but having Marina involved as our doula gave us some much needed preparation. Not only did I learn how to be intentional about what I did to prepare my body but it also helped ease my anxiety levels. One of the greatest things we benefited from was that my partner learned some major supportive techniques which was key to helping me get through labor and delivery. Lastly, this pregnancy was a VBAC and we encountered some challenges due to the lack of providers who provided this service within our geographic area. Marina was a key element in being able to advocate for myself and she helped me navigate the choices I needed to make to ensure that I could experience a VBAC delivery. Marina empowered me with the knowledge and support that I so greatly needed during this season of our lives and I recommend her services to any family needing guidance and support during pregnancy and childbirth.
