Valerie was an absolute angel during the delivery of our son. She helped me navigate my options during the induction and provided me with incredible information and insight to help me make good decisions along the way. Her energy is infectious; she has an incredible combination of humor and compassion that made my experience so positive. She shared the kindest words of encouragement and love over our labor and new baby.

I was struggling emotionally throughout the labor because of high blood pressure and past experience with preeclampsia, and she did an amazing job to keep me calm and focused. I also very tragically lost my mother to brain cancer during my pregnancy, and was suffering during the labor and postpartum with how much I missed her and wished she were with me. Valerie embraced me in such a loving hug and helped hold some of my sadness for me. It was one of the most touching experiences of my life, and it allowed me to feel my mom through her. I don't have words to describe how difficult this pregnancy has been on me and how incredibly grateful I am to have had Valerie by my side. She’s an angel.
