“My birth experience with Juanita is STILL a great memory and story that will be retold for years to come. I felt at total peace knowing that my birth plan would go as close as possible to what I wanted because she was a true advocate for me especially during those moments of extreme pain. She wasn’t invasive or overbearing. She just simply clicked with me and my desired expectations. She knew exactly how and when to be present in a way that felt comfortable. I was in labor for 22 hours and Juanita was there every minute. I honestly don’t think I would have made it through natural birth without her. The icing on the cake was that she made my mom a true Doula believer! My only regret is that I didn’t have her for the birth of my son 7 years ago!”
