Do you know who Polly is? She is an amazing nurse, doula, childbirth educator, business woman, writer and speaker. I have had the opportunity to read her books, glean from her wisdom at conferences, sit and chat with her on several occasions and even co speak with her at the ICAN conference in Atlanta two years ago. She is a truly amazing woman. And did I also mention she is recovering from a brain attack as well? Truly amazing!
I remember years ago when she had her stroke, those of us who know and love her sent her hearts. She loves anything with hearts on it! I think that is because she has a big one!

Having Renee There Made A Huge Difference
Renee was my Doula at my son's birth in September of 2010. I did not have a doula with the birth of my first son in 2007 - having Renee there made a huge difference. She helped keep me calm and focused on having a natural child birth. She graciously blended into the scenery and was supportive when I needed her and also seemed to fade into the background when I didn’t. She helped my husband support me in ways he didn’t know how and brought us closer in the process.

Kudos for the Ladies of the Labyrinth!
I knew I wanted to hire a doula very early in my pregnancy, but it was well into the third trimester when I finally started looking. After a brief phone conversation with Teresa, I knew A Labor of Love was for me. Teresa made me feel confident in my ability to choose the best birth for me and my baby. I attended the next Meet The Doulas Tea. I listened to each doula speak about herself, and I felt drawn to the Ladies of the Labyrinth. I hired them on the spot.
