She was a source of strength, comfort, support, and courage that I desperately needed, and I would never forget her help and caring words to me.
I was admitted for induction and had mixed feelings about what to expect. I was afraid and enthusiastic to meet my baby. 2 days later I was still trying to deliver my baby as I didn't react well to the induction. I can't put my gratitude into words for what I have experienced from this professional midwife and human. She made me feel calm and safe because of her frequent visits to my room even if I didn't call her through the bell. She was a source of strength, comfort, support, and courage that I desperately needed, and I would never forget her help and caring words to me. Her presence was a joy for me, given that I was so anxious because of my long labor. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had a very long induction process but she explained everything to make me calm and understand it was ok. She was kind and never stopped my belief that my son would come safe. After two days she was still with me and it happened. The day after the baby came she visited me on the 6th floor. I could not have had better support than she gave me.
