Testimonial for Chandel Stallworth
Working with Chandel as my doula was one of the most meaningful parts of my birth experience. She is the kind of person who makes you feel cared for from the very beginning—genuinely kind, deeply knowledgeable, and always attentive. Even when things didn’t go as planned with the birth of my daughter, she was right there, steady and supportive, helping me through with practical guidance and emotional encouragement. Though I was bed-bound due to an epidural, she even helped me with some moves to try and get my daughter more engaged in my pelvis.
Her presence in the room made such a difference. Chandel suggested positions that eased the process, reminded me to breathe and refocus when I felt overwhelmed, and carried such a positive, grounding energy that helped me stay calm during a stressful time. I always felt that she was rooting for me, advocating for me, and holding space for me every step of the way.
What stands out even more are the conversations we had before, during, and after my daughter’s birth. They weren’t just about the medical or technical aspects of labor; they were about me as a person—my hopes, fears, and feelings. Those talks, coupled with her steady reassurance, left me with such fond memories.
Looking back, I truly believe her support shaped my experience for the better. Chandel is more than a doula—she’s a partner in one of the most vulnerable and life-changing moments a person can go through. I feel so grateful to have had her by my side and can honestly say she’s just awesome.
