“Vicki
understood my desire for a natural labour and provided
information and guidance to assist that process. Vicki
worked brilliantly with our midwife and her trainee, and
hospital staff to help my husband and I deliver our
second child naturally, in a calm and nurturing setting.
Vicki provided exceptional service to me and my
family pre and postnatally as well. We cherish and
value the competent, professional and very compassionate
care Vicki provided us through pregnancy, labour, and
the postpartum period.”
“Vicki didn't judge me or try to analyze me.
She listened and asked me questions that helped me
sort out my feelings and make an action plan. Even
though I didn't know Vicki, I was comfortable enough to
tell her very personal details about what was stressing
me out during my pregnancy. Vicki followed my energy
while at the same time, following her intuition. She
looked me straight in the eyes when I needed to know I
was okay. The birth of my daughter was such a
magical and special day. I felt so honored to have
Vicki there.”
“Going into the pregnancy we were barely aware of the
existence of doulas. Now that our daughter has been born
we can’t imagine what the experience would have been
like without one. Our whole experience with Vicki
was incredibly positive. We just can’t say enough
about her and the value of the service she provides. The
information she provided allowed us to make informed
decisions all the way through. Warm and professional,
Vicki was a great resource and extremely supportive of
both mother & father during the pregnancy, labour,
delivery and post-partum.”
“If there is one piece of advice I could give to an
expectant mother, especially a first-time mom, it would
be HIRE A DOULA! Our doula Angie was
wonderful, patient, reassuring and there for every
minute I needed her. I had back labor - 14 hours
of it and was able to have a natural birth which was
very important to me. I don't think I would've
made it without Angie. She was able to help
relieve the discomfort in my hips and back and calm and
focus my husband. Her assistance kept both of us
from becoming totally stressed out! My midwife was
fantastic but had to also look after my baby and manage
my labor. It was so comforting to know that
someone was there just to look after me if I needed
anything - a drink, reassurance, a back rub or whatever.
I am forever grateful to Angie for her role in
bringing our precious daughter into the world.”
"Angie took away all my worries, allowing me
to be with my wife enjoying the magic of the
birth."
“Having Angie present at the birth of our
beautiful son was a gift. Her calm presence,
nurturing ways, dedication to my husband and I, her
confident relationship with the nurses and doctor, along
with knowledge of the birth process enabled us to focus
all our energy into having a positive, successful birth
experience! Thank you Angie, with all our
hearts!”
