Barbara supported us during the birth of our second child. Our first child was born in a small town hospital and I was very concerned that my desire to have a drug-free birth at Swedish would not be possible without an educated advocate. For us, things were not going exactly to plan during labor. Barbara to the rescue! She was incredible - calm, assertive, kind and reassuring. I can, without a doubt, attribute our successful drug-free birth to Barbara's knowledge of the hospital, the process, a woman's body, and our strength as a couple. The birth of our son was an incredibly empowering and intense bonding time for me and my husband. Barbara facilitated this experience and our heart felt gratitude goes out to her!

I attribute my positive labor experience to Barbara! She was critical throughout - and we can't thank (or recommend) her enough. All women who want / need additional support for labor and delivery should have a doula - wow!
