Post a testimonial for Hannah Wright

I can't say enough good things about working with Hannah as both a birth doula, and post partum doula. We built trust and friendship, and I would recommend her doula support to every expecting and new mother. Hiring Hannah was the best decision I made in having the best birth possible. Hannah is professional, attentive, kind and knowledgeable. Her 1st hand experience having had 3 unmedicated births sold me that she could talk the talk and walk the walk. From the time she joined my birth team I relied on her for my questions about pregnancy, preparation for labor starting, hospital pack bag, birth plan and anything else on my mind. Hannah quickly became my go to person, and I knew Hannah would advocate for the birth I wanted. Hannah holds herself to high bar of excellence, presence and tailored support.
When labor began naturally, Hannah he made all the difference coaching me through contractions, and providing hands on support. She even found a special moments for my husband and I to bond and hold each other through contractions as our wedding song played. Hannah helped manage my energy reserves, keep me hydrated, and helped to determine when to go to the hospital. When we got to the hospital Hannah became my trusted ally as my birth was stressful due to a decelerating heartrate situation. I trusted Hannah completely throughout the unmedicated labor.
In postpartum Hannah was a trusted confidant, friend and support for lactation questions, postpartum recovery, processing my birth experience and baby item recommendations. When we needed sleep we could trust Hannah to help around the house and rest at ease know our newborn was in capable hands. I would highly recommend Hannah as a birth and postpartum doula. She exceeded all expectations and I came to rely on her more than I could have expected. If you are on the fence I would say hire a doula, and hire Hannah, it will be more than worth it.

I cannot recommend Hannah enough as a doula! This was my second time giving birth, and from our very first Zoom meeting, I was impressed by her positive energy and genuine passion for her role. I didn't even consider interviewing anyone else because I knew right away that she was the perfect fit for me.
When we met in person to discuss my birth plan, Hannah listened attentively to all my wishes and concerns. She provided valuable resources to help me prepare my body for labor. She made me feel empowered and supported throughout the entire process.
On the day I went into labor, Hannah was incredibly responsive. I texted her at 8 AM when I felt the first signs, and by 10 AM, things had intensified. She immediately offered to come to my house, and I'm so grateful she did! I couldn't believe I was able to labor through such tough contractions at home, her support made all the difference. She used counter pressure and various techniques, which helped me get through each contraction. My sister and husband were there with me and I loved how she still involved them and did not take over completely. She guided them on how they can help me.
When we finally decided it was time to head to the hospital around noon, I arrived fully dilated at 10 cm! I owe so much of this experience to Hannah for believing in me and guiding me through it all. If you're looking for a doula who is dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, look no further than Hannah!

My husband and I are so thankful that we engaged Hannah for our birth experience. At our first (virtual) meeting, we felt she was kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. She spent time explaining what our engagement would be like and answered every question. She then visited us at home and came prepared with lots of extra information and spent time helping me write my birth plan without making us feel rushed. She made sure to include both me and my husband in conversations, while keeping focus on my comfort. When my water broke in the late evening, she adviced us on what to do over the phone, calmly answering all questions and reassuring us. She arrived at the hospital in the morning just as my contractions were starting and spent the entire day with us. She brought a wealth of ideas on natural pain management and helped me with each exercise, giving me massages, and even whipping out a head massager and a variety of essential oils. Hannah was a strong presence for us as first-time parents, always advocating for me and helping to communicate with the hospital team. She stayed with us through the birth and made sure we were being well taken care of after the baby was born, even bringing us dinner before she left. Hannah kept in touch with us through texting afterwards, answering questions about taking care of the baby, and visited us at home bearing cookies and a smile about a week after. She helped me with setting up my breast pump, and even helped my husband sterilize bottles. In hindsight, we feel we would not have had the great birthing experience we did without Hannah. I would make sure to hire her again for any following births.

Hannah went above and beyond in our birthing experience. We met Hannah via video call initially and once we chose her as our doula she visited us in person as well. She was available via text any time we had questions and she would check in on us. When the time finally came to deliver, Hannah instantly replied with advice and arrived in person to evaluate and provide support and further instructions. Though our delivery stalled, Hannah was there every step of the way and she assisted with positioning, comfort, and advocating for us with our healthcare team. After we had our baby, she continued to check in (and to this day continues to do so), and she visited us in person for a postpartum check up. She brought goodies and stayed to help us at home for a few hours.
Looking back at our decision to partner with Hannah, my husband and I keep saying what a correct choice we made, and how we never could've done this without her. Our labor had ended up being more complicated than we could've predicted, so her help was invaluable. Hannah is so sweet and caring and she made the experience sweet and memorable too.

We worked with many different doulas. But nothing could ever prepare you to be able to gauge how a stranger will show up for you in your highest moments of emotional and physical vulnerability. God was watching over our family when He sent us Hannah.
Hannah got me through my traumatic postpartum days by showing up for me in a way no one else did. Hannah was a powerhouse of a blessing to our family.
I could sleep when Hannah was with my baby because I knew she would fiercely protect and nurture my baby, with the same care she would give to her own family. We felt so comfortable with Hannah, we would even leave the house while she was with our baby; which allowed us to have a date night.
Our baby struggled with feeding and sleeping, but Hannah poured into her and she thrived with her. They had a beautiful relationship with each other.
Hannah taught me so much. From recipes to support breastfeeding, cutting my baby’s nails, helping my baby be able to sleep, babywearing, what to buy for teething, approaching solids, avoiding diaper rash, vitamins to take, the list goes on and on. She’s a seasoned professional and she knows her stuff. Not only that, but she’s direct, honest, and GENTLE!
Hannah is by far the most gentle caring doula we worked with. She prayed with me, cried with me, laughed with me. Hannah ministered to my soul.
Hannah has a strong work ethic and she is thorough in everything she does. If I wrote a wishlist of tasks she would get them done and more. She is also an excellent cook!
6 months later from my daughter’s birth I still rely on Hannah for advice.
You would be doing yourself and your family the biggest favor in the world to pick Hannah. She will walk with you through those difficult postpartum days and carry you through to the other side. You will not find anyone else with this much compassion, expertise, and strength.

Hannah was able to provide me with virtual and in person support for the birth of my baby. She quickly responded to any question I had and gave me clear, practical information tailored for me. She shares your emotional journey in a way that makes you feel empowered and validated for any feeling or question you may have. She is sweet, knowledgable, and comprehensive about what she knows. She is prepared with lots of different ideas for pain-reducing techniques during the natural birth of my baby as well as providing alternatives when needed. She displays an assertive, yet respectful bedside manner and advocates to the doctors and nurses with for your best interest. She checked in frequently and even reached out many times after my baby was born to check not only on the baby, but also me as well to see how I was doing physically and emotionally. She took lots of time to help me find out an answer to a pain I was having after birth and resolve it. She is easy to talk to and understanding of what you are going through. I would highly recommend hiring Hannah Wright to be your doula.
