Testimonial for Carolynn Slocum
Carolynn was truly a gift sent from God! I wasn't sure if I really even needed a doula at first, but boy was I wrong. I felt a little bit uncomfortable with the thought of having a "stranger" around through my birthing process, but immediately after I met her, all my worries flew right out the window. She is so easy to talk to and makes you feel like you've known her forever the first time you talk with her. I had a tough pregnancy, and when I went into labor, it was such a blessing to have her there with me every step of the way. She is so kind and caring and positive. She is also extremely knowlegable and knows many techniques to get you through the labor process (such as positions, pain coping techniques, breathing support, and the list goes on). She encouraged me to attend her birth class with my husband, and I learned so much. She consistently checked in with me before I went into labor and gave me tips and ideas on how to get ready for my birth. During my birthing process, she was there 100% and beyond. All I cared about was that Carolynn and my husband were by my side! She very graciously stood up for me in the hospital so that I could try and have a pain-med free birth experience, and she helped my husband and I to not feel intimidated about making choices for ourselves. And after the birth, she was EXTREMELY supportive as well. She gave me so much support as I was going through some tough post-partum anxiety issues. I cannot say enough about the value of this woman to the whole process of my birth. After everything, I continue to say that I hope Carolynn is always a part of my life from here on out. I have gained such a wonderful friend and I love her dearly. What a blessing that God led me to her. The BEST choice in doulas you could make--PERIOD!
