There are many benefits to having a Doula, be it a Pre Natal, Birth or a Post Natal one and all parents have their own needs and reasons for asking me to help them.
Below are a few quotes from some of the parents I have worked with:
--------------------------------
"Hils from the bottom of my heart I have to 2 tell you that we cud NOT have done this without u...u were simply wonderful THANK YOU"
-A text sent by a Mummy the morning after the birth of her daughter Oct 2011 (BIRTH DOULA)
--------------------------------
"Dear Hils, Thank you for all your help with our baby, we really appreciate it and are much more relaxed due to your reassurance"
- sent in a card from a first time Mum Sept 2011 (POST NATAL)
--------------------------------
"Dear Hilary, Thank you for everything you have done for our family for the last 6 months. You have been everything to my wife and given her more confidence than anyone else and I just wanted to write and express my deep gratitude to you for everything. You have been such a star and I really don’t know what we would have done without you."
-A father very kindly sent me a thank you letter Nov 2010 (POST NATAL)
--------------------------------
"Dearest Hils, Thank you so much for helping me with everything since our son came into the world, I couldn’t have survived without you"
- written by a friend who I have helped July 2010 (POST NATAL)
