"Nana was employed as our doula in January 2006 for the birth of our first child. We would highly recommend Nana to doula for any one seeking such assistance. I was in labor for 3 days. During this time Nana was with us during the most crucial times. She helped us make the right decisions at the right times. Her constant, graceful professionalism as a doula helped make my difficult birthing experience a much easier one to navigate."
-- Daniela Thompson, mother
“Having Nana Vinar at our side was a huge help and comfort in a labor that started out as more solitary and confusing. We were much more encouraged and well-advised which allowed us to carry out our birth according to our birth plan.”
--Maria Casas-Cortes, mother
"Nana was my doula two years ago during the birth of my third child, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Having her there made it so much easier for my husband and me to focus on the wonderful experience of childbirth. She was very calm and professional with the hospital staff, and a great help to me during the final stages of labor! Nana completely understood the importance of the occasion and took care of all the minor details. This allowed my husband and me to be together to share in the joy after the birth."
--Emma Klischer, mother

"I have known Nana for the past 17 years. I watched her grow from a sweet young lady to a mature woman and mother. She brings to bear experience with birthing and raising her own five children. As a Registered Nurse working in women's heath, I believe that Nana's strong faith, experience and integrity make her a great doula."
