Beth was such a great resource for my husband and I through the pregnancy and birth of our son. While I enjoyed the experience with all of the providers at our hospital, I really appreciated having Beth throughout the pregnancy to provide more personalized support. She is very knowledgeable in birth and provided many resources to me so that I could also become more knowledgeable. She supported my husband and I as we discussed options for the birth plan and I was able to feel much more confident going into birth because of the knowledge I had gained through her and because I knew I had her support during the birth. Beth was fully available during my labor and was very helpful through her emotional support, talking through various options with me and my husband, as well as just taking care of us physically (bringing food, helping me be more comfortable). My husband felt that he could be less worried and more present with me because of Beth's support. I was so grateful for how my birth went and I attribute a lot of that to Beth's support!

I am immensely grateful for the incredible support Beth provided throughout the entire journey of bringing my baby girl into the world. She was unwaveringly supportive before labor, offering guidance and reassurance that calmed my anxiety. During labor, her presence and advocavy were invalueable, ensuring my needs and preferances were always respected and helping me shift positions frequently to minimize pain and discomfort. After delivery, her continued support made the phyiscal and emotional transition smoother and more manageable. She truly was the best advocate I could have asked for.

Reflecting on my birth experience, I am profoundly grateful for the incredible support provided by Beth. She created such a positive experience, making sure I never felt alone. Beth's presence during almost every contraction provided a grounding rhythm and routine that truly helped me through. The goals Beth set during labor were instrumental for me. Through our initial meetings during pregnancy, she listened to what I wished for my birth experience with my second child and set goals accordingly.

The process can feel like a marathon, but Beth was an excellent coach, helping me tackle the journey in manageable stages. Her support during the triage process was especially appreciated, as it was one of the most stressful parts of the hospital transition. I am so thankful I wasn't alone during that time. Beth worked expertly with the nurses and doctors at the hopsital making me feel heard, and supported. With Beth's presence I was able to relax knowing I had her on my team. 

I am amazed that I made it as far as I did laboring at home without pain medication, and it was largely due to Beth's attentive listening and unwavering support. She helped me achieve the birth experience I wanted, and I cannot thank her enough for turning it into a positive memory that will stay with me forever. This experience has reshaped how I feel about pregnancy, childbirth, and accepting help during vulnerable moments. 

Beth, you are already a fantastic doula, and I am confident you will continue to shape many more women's birth experiences in such a positive way. Thank you for everything!
