Testimonial for Megan Gifford, CD(DONA)
My family was so lucky to have been referred to Megan as a postpartum doula. By the time I was given her name, we’d nearly given up on finding someone, but it turns out Megan was the one we’d been waiting for! She was down to earth and easygoing from the start, and we felt comfortable right away. She was also flexible in terms of start/end dates when our twins needed to spend time in the NICU.
Our boys flourished under her attentive care on our “Megan nights,” and she did a wonderful job helping us catch up with the baby and household chores that feel impossible to do in the early postpartum days. She sent us detailed messages in the morning about how it went overnight, always alerting us when one of the boys did something unexpected (or expected) so we could take action if needed. She was available anytime by text and always armed with endless suggestions for newborn things we encountered, tailored especially for twins.
Something we didn’t know is that a postpartum doula who is fantastic at their job doesn’t simply help with the babies and chores— they nurture and care for the parents just as much, if not more. Megan is extra good at that part because of her background in counseling and volunteer work with a local tribe. We started to look forward to our Megan nights not only because of the sleep we got, but also because we felt we were about to see a good friend who was truly invested in how we were doing in our parenthood transition. She held space for our worries and concerns, offered gentle considerations for us to think about, and gave us knowledgeable guidance when we didn’t know what we didn’t know about being new parents. We so appreciate Megan’s presence in our lives and think back fondly and gratefully about the tender, expert care she gave all four of us. I’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking!
