"I met Darlene through her prenatal yoga class and also took her “Yoga and Massage for Labor and Delivery” workshop. In addition to being impressed by her extensive knowledge, I thought she was an extremely warm and encouraging person. I asked her to assist me during labor as a doula because I thought she would be able to bring a very positive, supportive presence to my delivery experience. We had meetings prior to the day of delivery and discussed my preferences for a birth plan. Darlene listened attentively, offered information and suggestions when needed and was completely respectful of my ideas. I was open to the idea of a natural birth but did not exclude the possibility of an epidural, which I ultimately felt I needed. Darlene advocated for me in the hospital, in order to allow labor to progress on its own, and helped me with pain relief through massage, breathing and relaxation techniques. She was encouraging throughout the labor process, giving positive feedback about what a good job I was doing, which was very helpful. I felt completely comfortable and very supported throughout the whole experience, and I found it to be empowering rather than frightening. In addition to valuing the emotional and psychological support she provided, I was grateful for her broad repertoire of techniques to deal with the various situations of labor. I am so grateful to have had her help and support during the birth of my daughter."

"I enlisted the help of Darlene for the birth of my second child, and am so grateful that my husband and I had her support. After realizing that neither one of my sisters would be able to help me labor like they had the first time around, I wasn’t sure what to do. But, Darlene’s commitment to my preparedness, my comfort, and my birth plan quickly put me at ease in the weeks leading up to my delivery. Her support began the minute I requested her services as a doula. Somehow she manages to balance her professional responsibility with a warmth and consideration that made her presence during my labor so natural and easy. Her respect for the journey of pregnancy and motherhood, along with the miracle of birth is contagious. During a time when I began to feel most vulnerable, Darlene helped me find the strength I needed. Simply said, it was a privilege to have her guidance and support during this special time in our lives." - Debbie
