Testimonial for Paiten Dodd, BSN, RN, CD(DONA), CBE
If you are on the fence, I absolutely recommend you go for it and schedule doula services with Paiten! This was my second baby and after preventable complications with our first birth, I always said if I got to do it again, I would hire a doula. After our virtual intro meeting with Paiten, we were so eager to work with her. She provided practical and helpful planning strategies before birth and helped us consider all of our options. I really hoped for an unmedicated birth after too many interventions with our first. Baby Felix was so eager to meet Paiten, he decided to come in the morning before our final 37 week session - but that didn't matter one bit. Paiten was ready and she had already given us the tools we needed. Paiten met us at the hospital and built instant rapport with our whole nurse and midwives care team. She had a bag filled with all of the support tools we had discussed and more. Most importantly, she was with us every minute until we held our baby, through our golden hour and until we moved to the recovery floor. I couldn't believe that I had done it - unmedicated and feeling like an absolute super woman. This birth was such a redemptive experience after such a tough prior birth. I wish every woman on the planet had a Paiten by their side to welcome their baby earth side. Paiten, your calming, thoughtful and confident presence was the biggest gift and our family is forever grateful for you. Thank you for your guidance, expertise and deep compassion. You are one of a kind!
