Dena is AMAZING in every single way. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Leading up to my birth she made me feel so comfortable and cared for. She took a great interest in my birth plan and was so organized in ways I didn't even think to be to make sure I was able to include everything I wanted in my home birth. She is extremely knowledgeable and has excellent resources to use and share.She took the time to teach my partner and other support people different excerises to do with me in preparation for the birth as well as pain management techniques we could use during labor. During the birth she helped so much with pain management and seemed to know exactly what I needed and when. Her extensive background in body work no doubt was helpful. I will have Dena as my doula for any future births, and you should too. Seriously, look no further. Dena is the crème de la crème of doulas. A million stars for Dena!!!
