Dina was an immense help to me and my husband during the birth of our third child. Meeting with me several times before the birth, she and I got to know one another. She openly shared her experience, knowledge, and resources, which enabled me to more clearly define what it is I wanted and needed. Before the birth, she took the time to make sure that our expectations – mine, my husband’s and hers – were aligned regarding her role in the birthing room. During the birth, she astutely read the room and continuously found ways to enable my husband to support me while quietly caring for and encouraging me. The midwives (and I!) appreciated her calm and centered energy in the room, and I am forever grateful that she was part of Torben’s birth. She is grounded, knowledgeable, caring, and open – all of which were absolutely wonderful to have before, during, and after my child’s birth.
Dina took the time to really get to know us before the birth, which made a huge difference when the time came. During the birth itself — which lasted nearly three days — she was incredibly present and attentive throughout. Dina is kind, easy to talk to, and made me feel truly cared for every step of the way.
