Client Testimonials for Bethany Perry

Brianne

Bethany was my Doula for my home water birth. She was a great help when things were easy and when they become more difficult. She was able to support me when my fiancé wasn't able to and needed his time. She was always positive and supportive, caring. When i was transferred to the hospital she was there by my side. It was like she knew what i needed prior to me asking for assistance. When there was a moment i mentally and emotionally couldn't go no further, Bethany was there to keep me going and pushing me through. I can't thank her enough for the support and caring she gave me during my labour. She was positive, supportive, comforting and pushed me further when i needed it. Thank you Bethany!

My husband and I decided to hire a doula because we wanted as natural a birth for our son as possible. Bethany really helped make our experience as natural as possible. I was struggling early in labour to maintain a drug free birth as my water broke before contractions started and labour was not progressing very fast. She really helped my husband and myself to stick as close to our plan as possible even though we had some road blocks come up. I would definitely recommend that everyone hire a doula especially Bethany.

My husband and I hired Bethany as our birth doula because we were preparing for a drug-free hospital birth. Neither my husband nor I are terribly comfortable in hospitals, and we wanted the extra support that a birth doula provides. Thanks to Bethany, our birth experience was extremely positive and all of our birth preferences were respected by hospital staff. Bethany helped us so much in our journey and I truly believe that without her, I would not have been able to have the positive drug-free birth experience that we had prepared for.
