Testimonial for Mia Gertsch
I cannot recommend Mia enough. From our first meeting through the birth of our son, she was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive—exactly the energy I needed. I was planning an unmedicated birth and Mia truly respected and reinforced my vision every step of the way, offering encouragement without pressure, and helping me feel grounded and in control even during intense moments.
She brought a TENS unit, helped guide my breathing, and supported me through position changes, hip squeezes, and emotional transitions with such steady, compassionate presence. Mia also worked seamlessly alongside the hospital staff, advocating for me while making the whole experience feel like a team effort.
In the lead-up, she gave helpful suggestions and kept me informed about my induction options and labor progression tools, like nipple stimulation and movement. When things started, she helped me stay home as long as possible, conserving energy, and when it was time, she stayed with us through the whole hospital process.
Mia also supported my partner so beautifully—giving him guidance on how to help and making sure we both felt seen. Her presence made our experience not just manageable, but actually empowering.
If you’re considering a doula, Mia is the kind of person you want in your corner. I’m so grateful she was in mine.
