    Having Joanne support us leading up to the birth of our daughter helped my partner and I feel confident and supported in our preparation for delivery. This confidence helped remove the fear element from our impending labour and allowed us to embrace the experience from the moment contractions started, all through our delivery, for the most beautiful birth we could have hoped for. Joanne was intuitive to our needs at the hospital, providing indirect support to allow my partner and I intimate moments, as well as direct support when I needed it. She was my voice in communicating our birth plan to other members of the care team when it was important to do so, which was so, so appreciated by us. Overall, we are incredibly happy in our decision to have worked with a Doula, and specifically with Joanne, throughout this experience and will forever, recommend these services to others.
