Testimonial for Beth Scheppke, CD, CBC
I'm so grateful for the knowledgeable, thoughtful, and holistic care that Beth and her doula partner Christine provide! Its clear that they love what they do and pour this into every aspect of their birth work. Beth was present at my birth and was an incredible advocate and such a calm, friendly, and lovely presence.
I had a fast active phase of labor which was a bit overwhelming to me. Beth made the transition from home to the hospital so smooth in a moment when I had difficulty even moving from my own bed. My birth plan was honored very well by our amazing Midwife and the hospital- the only deviation being the addition of some IV fluids. Beth was very quick to speak up in this moment and ask if I was comfortable receiving fluids since it deviated from my previously stated plan, which was so appreciated. Her use of counter pressure for pain management during contractions was also a game changer and truly got me through some tough moments! We ultimately had a frightening turn of events with shoulder dystocia, and Beth was so helpful providing reassurance and information to me and my spouse.
My husband has said so many times how appreciative he is of Beth and Christine; he has felt far more empowered because of their amazing support. Specifically, "I was overwhelmed learning how to navigate the medical system and wanted to honor your birth plan and be a good partner during the postpartum period. Beth and Christine took all that anxiety away and helped me feel fully present for you."
During postpartum we felt so supported with visits, incredible lactation ball snacks (now a staple in our household!), lactation knowledge, and frequent text check-ins. Every question we've had has been met with empathy, reassurance, and amazing resources (including when I was struggling with baby blues). If we have another baby we would be truly honored to work with them again, and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking doula care!
