Birth Voice Doula & Lactation Services

This is VBA3C Journey! 5 months ago
I had been in labor for 3 days prior to finding Vanessa or Vanessa finding me =)
I had asked a friend to help me find a Doula as a home birth didn’t seem possible at the moment and the hospital was my last option. I needed all the support I could get to be able focus on my labor and not be sidetracked with induced fear from the doctors.
Vanessa is/​was bomb! I kept Vanessa informed of my contractions for the next 3 days, as my contractions had a pattern from 10pm til 6am, every 2−3min and then they’d patter off. She kept me motivated and always stayed in touch. She has soo much knowledge that helped me make better informed decisions and she used pressure techniques to help with my back labor pain (best part!)
I think I made her a bit uncomfortable at times because I was fighting for a VBA3C and was very in charge of my body and of the birth I wanted and through out my L and D trips I had to make a few choices that made EVERYONE in L and D uncomfortable.
I believe that tho she was nervous of my decisions, but deep inside she trusted me and my body and continued supporting me.
At 3:20 am on February 13^th 2015 I was given the go to start pushing. Vanessa and my husband helped hold my legs because they were numb. After 7 exhausting days of labor, the epidural helped me relax and open up.
At 3:50 am I vaginally gave birth to our 1^st baby girl.

I completely recommend Vanessa to anyone who is looking to have a great support system, someone who is caring, compassionate and informative. Vanessa was a blessing is disguise for my self and for my birth.
Blessing from the Cisneros Family!

When it comes to being passionate about your work, there is no question about Vanessa. She clearly loves and is extremely knowledgeable about anything and everything baby and mom related. I have gotten support from her even at the craziest of hours when I most needed support and reassurance … or just someone to listen to my vents :) I would highly recommend her to any new or future mom!

Vanessa is amazing! She is kind, patient, and a great listener! We worked on lactation issues I was having when my daughter was first born. Vanessa always made me feel at ease and I was able to successfully breastfeed my daughter for over a year (thanks to her help)!! She is awesome at what she does! Should I ever need Doula services, I would definitely use Vanessa! I highly recommend her!
