Maria’s Birth Story

“I could not be more grateful that Joanna was part of our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. With a history of medical trauma, I was nervous going into the birth experience. Having Joanna just a text or call away during early labor was very helpful and comforting. Once we arrived at the hospital and met Joanna there, I was amazed by how much her presence and assistance helped me feel calm and more at peace. Having someone there who was both familiar with birth and knew my detailed history and fears was invaluable. There were several times I felt scared, out of control, and like I couldn’t do it, but Joanna’s words of encouragement were empowering and grounding. In addition to the birth, Joanna was such a great resource during pregnancy and postpartum to answer all our questions and had great suggestions. My husband and I are also very grateful that she helped set realistic expectations for healing postpartum. My goals for birth were achieved, and I don’t think that would have been the case without Joanna. I’m so glad she was on our team. She was worth every penny. I would highly recommend her.”
