Testimonial for Noleen Thurman CD(DONA) & Birth Photographer
Working with Noleen was one of the best decisions we made during my pregnancy.
From the beginning, she made me feel supported and confident in my ability to give birth. Her constant words of affirmation and reminders that my body was made for this helped me stay grounded and trust the process. During early labor she guided me through different positions that helped me stay comfortable and keep things progressing naturally.
What meant even more was how deeply she respected and supported the birth experience I wanted. At one point she even suggested a different provider and hospital that would better align with my goals, and that guidance made a huge difference in my journey.
Throughout it all she was calm, encouraging, and completely present. Her support helped me feel strong, informed, and empowered during one of the most important experiences of my life. I’m incredibly grateful we had her by our side.
Because of her guidance and support, I was able to have the unmedicated birth I had hoped for!! She also took wonderful photos throughout the process.
If you’re considering working with a doula, I cannot recommend her enough. Having someone knowledgeable, calm, and truly invested in your experience makes such a difference.
