As a first time mom, I wanted someone very knowledgeable about birth and who communicated well, able to address my questions and concerns, and be a gentle, yet strong presence during the birth. Stana was all of this and more. Stana really cares about what she does and is very passionate, but does not push any of her ideas onto you. Whatever type of birth you're looking to have, Stana just tries to help you attain that, supporting you throughout. She recognizes your goals in the birth (mine was not to have to use pain relieving drugs) and helps you stick to them. Stana communicates very well and makes herself available to you from the moment you hire her, not only the two weeks before and after birth. She is very experienced...She's attended about 50+ births. In addition, Stana is a L.M.T (Licensed Massage Therapist). She utilizes massage technics during the labor and also offers a prenatal massage as part of the package. She is very gentle, but very to the point and is not afraid to advocate for you and your birth choices. She was my voice at the birthing center, reporting my progress to the staff, so all I had to do was focus on the labor. I loved the fact that Stana helped my husband be more involved in the birth. For these reasons, I highly recommend Stana. Recommendation for Stana Weisburd
