Testimonial for Karen Ganga Huslik, CLD(CBI), RNC- OB, PES(WBC) CLC, MAP, CCT
My husband Chris and I met Karen at the Baby and Tot Fair at Hunterdon Medical Center. Right away she seemed quite professional and comforting as a potential member of our families birthing team.
We chose her as our doula because of her vast experience as a former birthing nurse and knowledge of medical labor and delivery procedures. We don't have much experience with hospitals so we wanted some extra help on our side. We are so glad we made the decision to hire Karen as our doula.
During our conversations before labor and delivery both on the phone and in person at our home, we talked about our doctor visits and layed out a detailed birth plan. I was impressed by the some of the personal yet insightful questions she asked to help her get to know us. Also some tips for comfort while being 9 months pregnant.
My labor and delivery was early at 37 out of 40 weeks. Right away Karen stepped in as our doula and was a tremendous help through the whole process. We unexpeectedly called her at 5am one morning before going to Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ. That day she came right away to help us. She stayed up all night with us providing foot massages, dancing routines, calming music and soothing advice to help our labor and delivery.
Once our daughter was brought into the world, Karen was there to help me breast feed for the first time. This was a tremendous help to get this process started. This was a moment I will never forget.
Later we had trouble with our daughter in the middle of the night when she was only 5 days old. Our daughter had trouble breathing and Karen can to help us troubleshoot. We were so thankful she was able to help us during this difficult time.
Thank you Karen for all of your help. We will keep in touch.
