We were so happy that we made the decision to have Arlene acting as our Doula
at the birth of our first baby.
Without Arlene we would never have had the birth we had planned.
When Arlene arrived the hospital were forcing us down birth path we were keen
to avoid. Within two minutes of her arrival we were back in control of
the experience and everyone was acting in the best interests of our baby.
Arlene was incredibly supportive and caring, she acted as our advocate ensuring
our wishes were carried out.
It was wonderful having someone so knowledgeable on our side. Arlene kept me
focused and relaxed, I could not have done it without her. Thanks to Arlene we had the natural water birth we had hoped for.

If we had not had Arlene as our doula – the birth of my daughter would
not have been a natural water birth as we had planned.
When Arlene arrived at the hospital I had just told my husband that I had
changed my mind and ‘wanted drugs.’ Arlene sensed my despair and
without saying anything gently massaged my back – I am not saying it
took the pain away – but it re-focused me and I changed my mind with
regards to the drugs. She provided valuable support for both my husband and
myself during and after the birth. We had no idea what to expect at the hospital
and it was reassuring to know that Arlene was there to support us. She is extremely
knowledgeable about all birthing procedures and offered invaluable advice throughout.
I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone else.
