Doula Client Testimonials
My mother summed it up best when she said that Vanessa's job was to be a mother to the new mother, and she did a wonderful job. I was very grateful that Vanessa stayed with me so long so that my husband could tend to our baby while I was recovering.
My husband was surprised that he was so relaxed, and Vanessa was a big help with this. He told me that he didn't feel nervous through the whole experience until Vanessa left.
In the end, even though the birth did not go according to plan, it was perfect. Vanessa helped us accept the change in plans and feel joyful about the whole experience. - Megan, about her first birth experience in 2008
It [birth] was exactly the spiritual experience I'd hoped for! Truly. I could not have done it without Vanessa. She seemed to be everywhere and kept the room and me at peace. - Amanda, about her birth experience in 2009
Having Vanessa present during my baby's birthing time helped me to have the birthing time I wanted. I think having her there helped me stay focused. I may have caved and ended in a C-section or with an epidural without her. - Erin, mom of two about her second birth in 2008
Vanessa is the best birth doula in the whole world, and nobody would have taken better care of my husband and me! - Courtney, about her first birth in 2009
My hypnobabies instructor was also my doula and she did an excellent job of helping me to achieve the birth that I had hoped and planned for. I feel very blessed to have had Vanessa Manz at the birth of our baby. -Katie, about her second birth in 2009
Vanessa's coaching allowed me to stay calm, strong and focused, and allowed my husband to really be there for me without having to worry. -Jennifer, about her first birth in 2009
While my birth may not have gone precisely as I had envisioned, I wouldn't have done it any other way. And the next time I get pregnant, Vanessa will be the first person I call to hire her as my doula again! -Danielle, about her first birth in 2009
Hiring Vanessa to be our doula was one of the best decisions we made regarding our birth. When she arrived at the hospital I felt notably more relaxed. She had a very calming effect on me. I feel confident in saying that my birth would not have gone as well had she not been there to support me and my husband. -Mellinda, about her first birth in 2009
Thank you so much, Vanessa! I'm so glad you were with us during our baby's birth! You made a HUGE impact! -Mickie, mom of two, about her second birth in 2009
