Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
When we were in the decision making process of whether to opt for a Doula or not, it was important for us to find someone who was knowledgeable about science-backed methods of delivery and care as well as someone who could educate us on a more holistic approach. We were beyond impressed on both fronts. We had complications during delivery and Justine was calm, confident, and encouraging throughout the entire process. She worked with our midwife team effortlessly and took control of the space in just the right way so we knew she was there for us and was a strong advocate for what we had discussed our ideal birth plan would be. It wasn't until we had gone through the experience of delivery ourselves that we realized how valuable and crucial it was for us to have the support of the Midwest Doula team. We had no idea there would be a resource like Midwest (more specifically Justine) who would care so deeply about us and simultaneously educate and support us on such an authentic and compassionate level.
If anyone is on the fence about whether it's "worth" it to hire a Doula team... we could not say enough about how worthwhile and crucial it was to our experience. Having the assistance of Midwest Doulas turned what could have been a traumatic and scary birth into something that was difficult but beautiful and empowering as well. After our delivery, Justine checked in on us and Kali made us some of the most nourishing/comforting meals ever. We think about these women and all that they did for us all the time. There are daily reminders of their wisdom and kindness and I can't imagine that will ever go away. Thank you so much for everything you did for us and everything you do for other women and families in our community! Your team is doing so much good!
