What families say
My wife and I had the most wonderful experience with Irene for the birth of our first child. Starting from the background information and resources she provided, through the birth itself, and during postpartum - Irene was always helpful, knowledgeable, skilled, kind, and supportive.
Irene…where do we begin! TLDR: a beautiful experience that made me feel so at ease and empowered. We contacted Irene as we were entering our third trimester with our second baby.
We've had Irene support us for both our babies birth, and we are SO incredibly grateful for her! Irene met with us sometime during the 2nd/early 3rd trimester for a time to get to know one another better, and to further review expectations of the pregnancy the closer we enter to the 3rd trimester.
Irene was our doula for our first birth experience, which ended up being a long and arduous process. She kept us calm and focused and helped empower us when we had to make some difficult decisions. As a medical provider myself, I was very picky about who I wanted to have on my birth team.
