Testimonial for Hannah Hardy
I met Hannah as we were expecting our third little one and even though we had some experience of what to expect before, during, and after birth, we knew we would still need help and we’re so glad we got to work with Hannah. We are deeply grateful for her support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She helped us navigate the uncertainty of a high-risk pregnancy with thoughtful guidance each time a concern came up or when we experienced some pressure on next steps from providers. She also helped me talk through any fears and worries that would come up about previous birth experiences and how I could approach thinking about them this third time around. During labor, when it’s hard to think and remember all the recommendations of what to ask and do, Hannah was always ready to help us with how we would decide the next best step. Her encouragement helped me have the confidence to get through the last stages of labor. During the first few weeks of postpartum she was an incredible source of care and comfort. Historically we didn’t have a postpartum doula and we definitely felt the positive difference this time around. The first day she came after birth, I felt an immense relief and finally started to understand what it meant to have more support during postpartum. She was amazing with baby care, helping our 3 yr old and 5 yr old adjust to a new sibling and keep their routine at home, with breastfeeding support when things felt painful and stressful, and simply making sure we had the space to rest and recover. I’m surprised at how I managed this pregnancy and postpartum experience better than I thought and it was thanks to her support. She’s a gem of a person with wonderful intuition and wisdom as a mom of three herself. Her approach is very caring and genuine, while being direct and honest. She will always have a special place in our family’s story, and you will be so happy to have the opportunity to work with her!
