Testimonial for Paige Green RN, IBCLC
Paige was our doula for the birth of our son, Oliver, in June this year in our home. We interviewed a couple different doulas and for reasons I could not articulate I knew I felt comfortable with Paige and would be happy having her at our birth. There was something about her that seemed very open, inviting, and non-judgmental. As we prepared for the birth Paige really seemed to care about getting a good sense of the vision we had of the event and to identify ways in which she could participate and help us accomplish what we desired.
Our son's birth ended up being not precisely what I had pictured but it was so beautiful. It took place over the course of one night and went pretty quickly! Paige showed up at our house in the middle of the night and immediately jumped in to look for ways to help. Her presence was calming and not distracting. She seemed to blend right in doing what she needed to.
The actual birth was fairly uneventful, but due to my severe tearing I had to take a trip to a doctor's office that day to be repaired. Paige accompanied me there even though she could have gone home as the birth was over. She helped me through that visit and came back home with me where she gave me tips and aided me in trying breastfeeding again then left to give us our space. Later she came for another visit and even brought us a beautiful gift. Paige does not stop at the bare minimum.
My family agrees that Paige seems to have found her calling. She is open, caring, passionate, and accepting, and I am sure if it were necessary she could jump right in to advocate for the needs and desires of her clients if they were not being met. I'd highly recommend you at least have an interview with her!
