Testimonial for Carrie Dungey
When I was pregnant, we didn’t have any family in Canada and didn’t have any experience taking care of kids, we were very anxious about the whole experience, so we decided to hire a doula. When we first met Carrie, she immediately helped all that anxiety go away with her calm, gentle approach. She was very sweet and knowledgeable, it seemed like we found a relative. We got the physical and emotional support we needed at the time. She helped me before birth, came several times, gave advice, we checked if the baby was in the right position, we did special exercises, stretches together. When I was going into labor, my husband and Carrie were both present. Unfortunately due to Covid issues in the hospital I didn’t get the epidural and Carrie taught us special techniques how to make contractions feel less painful. She even took our photos with our baby. During postpartum Carrie helped me learn how to take care of our baby, how to change diapers, about her experience with reusable diapers, how to properly bathe our baby, or feed her from the bottle because I was struggling with breastfeeding, she was taking care of her when I needed sleep. She connected me to a specialist, who helped with breastfeeding. She would always smooth my anxiety. Sometimes she stayed for 5 hours in a row, when I was feeling especially exhausted. We never doubted leaving her with our baby if we needed to go deal with some documents or etc. Carrie was the only person we could trust to help us with our daughter even half a year after she was born. Our daughter really loved her and we really miss her after she had to relocate to another province. We are still keeping in touch!:)
