Vera is an amazing doula! We had originally planned to work with her colleague who could not attend our birth. Vera stepped in last minute and did a fantastic job. We cannot imagine what our birth would have looked like without Vera. She is incredibly intuitive, attentive and skilled. Her hands helped me manage every contraction for over 15 hours of labor of unmedicated delivery of my 9.1-lb-baby. We had midwives and Vera worked really well as part of the team. She also engaged my husband and made him feel very comfortable throughout the whole process and afterward. She was right by my side when we had a complication and ended up in a hospital.
The follow-up advice and care were also incredible – we had two in-person visits and multiple e-mail and text exchanges during the first couple months. As overwhelming as it was, we felt that our trusted advisor was just a text away, which made a whole world of a difference.
Giving birth is a very special and vulnerable time for families and it is critical to have just the right support person to guide you through it. I cannot recommend Vera enough! We are definitely planning to work with Vera again.
