Reyna is an amazing doula! Both my husband and I can attest to Reyna’s ability and knowledge. Her presence during the birth of our son was a tremendous help. This was our first pregnancy and we both wanted to have an experienced and encouraging coach to help us along the way. - Carolina
My 1st impression of Reyna was: "She has firm strength & gliding grace."
My experience with her proved true. Her strength gave me trust in my mental toughness. And her motherly grace comforted me when I needed to be taken care of.
Days before my delivery, Reyna came to my home, gently urging me to practice meditation techniques of envisioning a peaceful place, going there, and settling into calmness. At the time, I didn't know that this very exercise would save me from having a c-section.
I labored at home for 19 hours as Reyna led me through maternal acrobatics. I was upside down, in hip opener positions, taking walks, praying & meditating with Reyna & my husband, etc. She was a committed coach. She respected all my decisions, even if they went against my birth plan.
At the hospital, when it was time to push, Reyna was to my left, my husband to my right. They were my TEAM, my rock. She advised my husband how to "be" with me. She verbally pushed me when I needed it, and sweetly looked at me in silence when I was in grueling pain. She urged me to believe in my ability and reminded me that the baby was coming - almost like one of those horse race announcers. She got my adrenaline pumping and I believed I was going to win!
We were at the 39th hour and the doctor said that if I couldn't get the baby out, they'd have to give me a c-section. Out of desperation, I accessed that meditation exercise went to my peaceful place, and slowly - my open mind opened my canal - and out came baby. I am forever thankful to Reyna for her friendship, her sister/motherhood, her care. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. - Parent Cindy
What can I say? Because thank you is not enough! You shared one of the best moments in my life with me and you guided me, coached me, you supported me, you loved me, you moved me, you massaged me, and talked me through it all.
" I couldn’t have done it without your presence and Im truly grateful, always for that. I am so blessed to have had you with us, you lifted so much stress that day and preparing up to that day. Gianna will know you as part of her beautiful birth story, thank you." - Parent Nicole
