June 29, 2023 at 3:14 am | Client reviewVirginia “Ginna” Parent was my labor and delivery doula and provided my husband, children and specifically myself support leading up to the birth of our third child. She was very knowledgeable on all
Topics of our concern. She was very supportive of the choices we made and was open and honest about pros and cons of anything we were unsure of. The days leading up to my birth she was available at all hours of the day for me. She was responsive and caring and kind throughout the week. When it was go time she talked to us several times and allowed us to decide when we’d go to the hospital. She laborers with me and my husband for around 5 hours and was such a loving support for myself and my husband. She cheered me on, comforted me, helped with pain and had tools and techniques that helped throughout. She was with us till we transferred to our room. She continues to be an available for several weeks for us! She did a postpartum home visit and assisted with breastfeeding and infant care. She’s the best! We loved her and the experience even though it was our 3rd unmedicated birth!

July 3, 2023 at 1:32 am | Client reviewI had a very stressful and complicated experience during my pregnancy journey until I met Virginia, it was like hiring all the services I needed in one, including a trusted friend and advisor I can rely on. I kept experiencing the worst medical service & information, I was bullied into taking tests and complying to demands that were not even legally required. After switching medical providers I ended up dropping them all together and hired a doula instead who can advocate for my needs. I wanted to things my way and this was the only way I was able to get what I wanted. Virginia was very professional and kind about educating me on the risks I was choosing to take by avoiding all interventions and at the same time was super supportive and encouraging to the choices I wanted to make. Virginia was God sent! I couldn’t have survived my labor and delivery without her, she was the most positive support I had at the hospital. I came into the unknown prepared and confident because of her. She had coached my husband and I from the very beginning and we were super grateful to her. She was my rock, my epidural, my biggest supporter. I was able to survive long enough to have an all natural/medications free labor, delivery and postpartum recovery because of her. We are making plans already for better preparing my body now for my 2nd child that I wish to have down the road.
I am so grateful to have experienced such a positive and fearless pregnancy and birth, going against all odds.
