We weren't initially sure whether we needed a doula for the birth of our first baby, but looking back now, I honestly can't imagine doing it without Virginia.From the moment we engaged her, the support was incredible. The birth education throughout my pregnancy was invaluable and gave both my husband and me so much confidence heading into labour. In the final weeks of pregnancy, I also booked a bodywork session with Virginia after struggling with intense lower back pain. I walked in feeling so uncomfortable and left feeling noticeably better. It made such a difference.When labour began, Virginia was simply unmatched. From the moment she arrived, she never left my side. She supported me through every single contraction, offered constant encouragement and reassurance, suggested positional changes when I needed them, and helped me stay grounded and confident throughout the entire experience. Her calm presence and unwavering belief in me were exactly what I needed, and I truly don't think we could have done it without her.Although our baby was born at home, we later transferred to hospital so our little one could be monitored. Once again, Virginia went above and beyond. She stayed with us until we were admitted, settled, and comfortable, and continued to check in on us in the days that followed. We never felt alone.Virginia is an exceptional doula whose care extends far beyond labour itself. Her knowledge, compassion, and wholehearted support made one of the biggest moments of our lives feel safe, empowering, and deeply supported. We will be forever grateful for everything she did for our family, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
