Testimonial for Megan McCleary
I would 100% recommend Megan as a doula to anyone who is expecting. As someone who knew barely anything about doulas before meeting Megan for a consult, I was shocked at how pleased I was with my experience. Megan had a gentle way of meeting me where I am at, listening keenly to my specific preferences, fears, and concerns from pregnancy to postpartum. During my birthing process (which was filled with curve balls and unexpected turns), Megan pivoted seamlessly and still functioned as a key player on my team even when I was unsure of how to 'make use of' her skillset because I was not able to labor in ways in originally planned (e.g., not being able to use a birthing ball or hydrotherpy, not being ambulatory). She honored all my feelings throughout the process, stood in the gap between myself and my husband, myself and my medical team in such a graceful and gentle way that respected all parties involved. Because of my experience with her, I cannot see myself going through the birth process without a doula in the future. My ability to have a vaginal and unmedicated birth without suffering, with a sense of peace and present moment awareness (something I did not think I could ever do) is due in large part to Megan's support. I made one of the best decisions I could make for a life changing event by choosing her as a doula.
