Alison Diaz, CD (DONA) ~~ My Destination Doula ~~

Nick & Jennifer say:

"Our experience with Alison was terrific. She was very knowledgeable, passionate, sensitive, and caring towards myself, my husband, and our little girl. The meetings prior to labor were so educational and we learned a ton! We even said that it would be worth the money if we just had met with her before labor.

"We felt prepared for labor and delivery due to her educating on us on our options for pain management and details about what labor is like. I loved communicating with her through email or by phone when I had concerns or questions about my pregnancy. She was extremely patient and helpful.

"She was so encouraging and supportive all throughout labor. She was a perfect blend of assertiveness and patience, always giving us the freedom to choose what we would like in labor.She did even more than we thought consisting of taking pictures, playing music, and staying to help with breastfeeding post labor.We would've felt alone and in the hospital room if we wouldn't have had Alison there to help and guide us. She is wonderful!!"

Comfort W. says:

"I would definitely recommend Alison to anyone looking for doula services. She came highly recommended to me by the doula that I used for my previous birth. She is very easy going and calming, which I sensed at our initial meeting. She believes that every woman should have a doula and therefore is willing to work with you on price.

"I met with Alison a week before my due date and I was really eager to begin labor. She gave me several suggestions on how to possibly help things along. She also encouraged me and checked on me that week to make sure my spirits were lifted.

"The day that I went into labor, I called Allison several times and she was always accessible. I was unsure of my labor's progression, but she was able to make the decision to come to my home at just the right time. Though she only labored with me briefly, her presence really helped me out. She was able to use counter pressure during my contractions which helped a lot. But more than anything, just knowing that in addition to my husband I had support for a natural, unmedicated childbirth helped so much. My birth went exactly how I had hoped."

Tally and Monette Friedlander say:

We were referred to Alison by our Hypnobirthing instructor. She thought that Alison would be a good fit for my husband and I She was right! Alison did a wonderful job at listening to our birth wishes and helping us stay as true to them throughout the end of my pregnancy and our daughter's birth. Alison followed through on every detail and was never too busy or preoccupied with anything else to take a random phone call or question. We also hired Alison for her monatrice services and are glad that we did. She was always more than willing to help with prenatal care suggestions and is very knowledgeable in her field.

We are excited to use Alison and her services someday again!!

Joe Hughes says:

We hired Alison as our Doula and we could not be happier with the experience. She met and exceeded all of our expectations. From a father and birth partner's perspective I was very impressed with all that Alison did. She gave me (and my wife) the support and confidence that we needed. Being a first time dad I had no idea what I was doing and what to expect, but Alison walked us through the whole process both before and during the birth. I felt valued as part of the birth process and I never felt replaced. We were both able to relax and let nature take it course. I would not want to go through a birth without a Doula especially one as good as Alison. The peace of mind I received from Alison being there during our birth was priceless. I cam convinced the birth would not have gone as easily and smoothly if she was not there. It was an amazing experience and Alison was a huge part of making that happen.
Thanks Alison...you rock! We will be calling on your services for our next birth!

I can think of no better person to hire as a doula, than Alison Diaz.

She was present at the birth of my second son, in March of 2009, where I found her presence and calm encouragement to be of great help. Her knowledge of the birthing process and the post-partum period was extremely helpful to me. Her level of experience and knowledge is incredible, because she is not only a fully certified DONA doula, but also a deeply conscientious midwife-in training who has already spent several years delving into the birthing world. She is discreet, caring, enthusiastic and very passionate about helping the women who hire her. It is not just a job to Alison; it is her deep desire to see each woman have a fulfilling and healthy birth experience.

Her attitude towards her clients and other birth-workers is professional and very respectful as well.

I consider myself very honored to know her and to have had her involved in my birthing experience. I also consider her my friend and find that to be a privilege.
