Client Testimonials for Bethany Perry
Stephanie Jones
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.
