Deborah is one of the most incredible people I have ever encountered in my life.
When I walked into labor and delivery my water had broken and I was told that I had to stay in the hospital and deliver my baby. After 24 hours of induction with Pitocin, I really wasn’t dilated much. I was exhausted and I began to think that I was going to have a C-section. Deborah was the positive energy and support I needed to carry on. She supported me through the induction process and I was able to deliver my baby vaginally. She was supportive, caring, and kind and she truly spoke to me with so much respect and love. I knew I could get through this. Deborah is one of the most incredible people I have ever encountered in my life. It was her energy and spirit that allowed me to be lucky enough to deliver my baby the way I wanted to. She advocated for me when I couldn’t advocate for myself, she tried techniques to help me feel more comfortable, and to allow my daughter to get into the proper position for delivery. Her out-of-the-box thinking, her nurturing personality, and her techniques are what I attribute to my successful delivery to happen so quickly once my baby was in the correct position, and I was fully dilated.

I can’t thank her enough, and if I could have her at every future delivery that I have, I would personally request her.
