Kind Words…

Venette supported me during pregnancy, labor and post labor. I was provided with all of the necessary resources needed for labor. She was instrumental in helping me to remain committed to my birth plan of a natural vaginal delivery amidst the labor pains. Without Venette I most likely would have succumbed to the pain and would have taken an epidural. Venette gave me pain relief exercises during labor and recommended the vaginal check when necessary and was very encouraging in her communication during labor. After delivery Venette also ensured that I felt well enough to care for my son and that I felt well supported. She recommended me to postpartum doula services to help me get the further supported needed. Venette was a dream come true for my first experience delivering.

Amazing experience!!! Venette was our birth doula and to say she was helpful would be an understatement. Venette made the process of pregnancy and birth calming and exciting. As a first time mom I was looking for guidance and strength and she helped me with both. Although I ended up having an unplanned c-section at 37 weeks she came into that hospital like we have been planning this for months. Kevin and I felt so confident in our journey and ourselves because she was with us. She was not only our doula but has become a friend and a staple in our son Leos birth story. I recommend Venette with my whole heart and cannot thank her enough.

** We HIGHLY recommend Venette! **She is attentive, informed, supportive, responsive, and very very kind. We knew from our initial consultation with Venette that she was the right doula for us. It's so clear that Venette has a passion for birth work and for empowering birthing people to make the best decisions for themselves. This also means she is an excellent listener and communicator. She asks thoughtful and practical questions, and offers hands-on education to prepare the birth team for labor and delivery as well as for the postpartum period. Venette was always there when we needed her and had back up plans setup in case she couldn't be there for the birth. We trust her fully and recommend her to everyone who asks us about doulas in Central Mass.

I had a wonderful experience with Venette as my doula! It was my first attempt at a natural birth after a C-section. She was so caring and kind. She educated me on how to prepare for labor and how to have an empowered birth experience at the hospital. Venette checked in constantly when I was starting to show signs of labor, and she worked tirelessly to provide physical support in terms of positional changes, nourishment, and emotional support during a labor lasting more than 20 hrs at the hospital. I highly recommend Venette as a doula!

Venette is incredible! I had a very long early labor that really tested my limits. Her support was crucial to my spouse and I throughout our time at home, being sent home from the hospital (twice), and through the long-awaited active labor and delivery process. She was there when I needed her, both remotely and in-person, to provide timely encouragement, new pain control ideas, and wise advice and reminders. The hospital staff remarked to me multiple times how impressed they were by Venette and they really respected her input as part of my team. Venette respected my wishes and helped me communicate them to the rest of the staff caring for me too. I am so thankful that I had Venette supporting my partner and I through the birth of my daughter!

I had an amazing experience with Venette as my doula. I was focused on having a physiological birth with minimal medical interventions and she was able to provide me with exactly the type of support I needed. I contacted her just a few weeks before giving birth and she was willing to work with me. She was very knowledgeable about the birthing process and was able to provide me with the emotional and physical support that I needed throughout my labor (and in the weeks leading up to the birth). After I gave birth, she continued to provide me with support during my postpartum period. She checked in on me regularly and provided me with resources and information that helped me navigate the challenges of early motherhood. Her communication skills were excellent and I always felt like I could reach out to her if I needed anything. I would highly recommend Venette to anyone who is looking for a doula.

My husband and I had the best experience with Venette! She was so attentive and compassionate throughout the entire journey. We had a very complicated pregnancy and birth. It was very far from what we thought our first experience would be like and it was certainly not how I would have ever wanted it. Venette made sure I felt comfortable and in control while we adapted to so many challenges. She helped me cope with the emotional side of things and helped me understand what was happening in labor and delivery when things got hard. She was there for me every step of the way and long after birth. Venette is a beautiful person and a fantastic doula!

Venette was our Doula and my wife and I can't recommend her enough! She had thoughtful questions during our first few visits and really spent time not only getting to know me (birth mother) but also my spouse's wishes for the experience of our child's birth. During laboring at home she was in contact the perfect amount and was waiting for us at the hospital when we arrived. Venette was the perfect combo of effortless moving quietly in the background but her presence strong enough that we could feel her support. From setting up the room so my spouse could focus on me, to the endless water runs, quietly coaching me through my body scans and interpreting my quiet mumbling. My birth was EXACTLY as we had planned and I know a large part of that was the confidence Venette instilled and the support she provided us. I recommend a doula for your birth and I hope you're lucky enough to have Venette be yours.
