Testimonials

"Maritza was very helpful and informative prior to labor. She's also very friendly and easy to be around. My husband and 5 year old were very comfortable with her, too. My labor was a great experience and I would not be able to say that without Maritza's involvement. She stayed several hours after my daughter's birth, too, just to be sure we were okay. Her calm, nurturing demeanor provided a stress-free environment. We couldn't recommend her more." - Shara D. 
"Maritza was a lovely and integral part of our birth experience. We found that Maritza was immensely supportive of whatever steps we felt were appropriate for us. We both appreciated having her calming presence, and she was truly a “team player” during the event. During the “golden hour,” Maritza was immensely helpful in helping our baby start to breastfeed. She also helped us post-partum in caring for our baby while we caught up on a bit of sleep. It was great that we had established a trusting relationship during the birthing process and these few visits afterwards really cemented our warm feelings towards her." - Sarah W.
