Laura & Tom

I can’t recommend hiring Adrienne as your doula enough – she offers so much more than just labour support! She was a tremendous help for my partner and I as first time parents, making herself available even outside of our in-person meetings via email or text to answer our pregnancy and labour related questions with patience. She pointed us to some of our favorite resources (from must read books to a magical acupuncture referral), and she was instrumental in helping us determine and create and most notably stick to our birth preferences: an unmedicated, intervention free hospital birth. Adrienne’s cool and confident disposition made me feel safe labouring at home until I reached transition – she then calmly instructed my husband when to pack the car and get us to the hospital. Since my daughter decided to come very quickly thereafter, Adrienne was key in advocating what our preferences were to the staff, as there was no time to share a print-out with them! Immediately after birth and at our postpartum visit, Adrienne was a huge asset with nursing help, from getting the right latch to demonstrating proper holds and positions. Her judgement free philosophy and experience made her the right choice for us!
