Testimonial for Hannah Tansel, CD(DONA), LCCE
Our family’s experience with Hannah as our doula was nothing short of amazing and we would recommend her to anyone seeking support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We started working with Hannah towards the end of the first trimester and she provided so much knowledge and support throughout our entire pregnancy. It was like having a dear friend on speed dial who had access to evidence based answers to all of our questions. Our baby was breech and Hannah supported us through finding different techniques to try to get him to turn head down and even accompanied us through an ECV procedure in the hospital. Going the extra mile to be with us during that time meant the world to us and helped us stay calm and informed before and after our procedure. Despite our best efforts, our baby was just meant to stay breech and a c-section was scheduled. As a first time mom, I was absolutely terrified of surgery and Hannah played such a huge role in providing resources that helped me feel as prepared as possible for birth. Even though a c-section wasn’t the birth that we had imagined when we started working with her, Hannah helped make room for us to come to terms with the fact that it was the birth our little guy needed. It turns out that it was the birth I needed as well. I am so grateful to say that I felt so much more calm and confident going into my surgery thanks to her help and I actually really enjoyed my birth! Having such a calming, supportive presence on such a nerve-wracking day both before and after surgery was invaluable to my family and I. We are so thankful to Hannah for all of the heart, research, and hard work she puts into supporting her families.
