Ten months ago, one of my dreams came true when I successfully delivered my second child through an unmedicated VBAC. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude because this would not have been possible without you, Alysha.
Reflecting on my pregnancy, I realized how essential it is to have additional support, patience, and genuine understanding from someone outside of family and friends. Hiring you as my doula was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From our first meeting, I had a gut feeling that you were the right person to help our journey go smoothly.
Throughout our sessions, the long hours of labor, the delivery, and the postpartum visit, you were consistently kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I am especially grateful that you came to my home late at night when my labor intensified, assisted us with the hospital check-in, and stayed by my side throughout the night so my husband could rest. Thank you also for ensuring that the midwives and nurses remained aligned with my birth plan. Your presence and advocacy made a significant difference for us. This experience left me feeling incredibly empowered, and you are someone our family will never forget.
Please accept my apologies for the delay in writing this; it took me ten months to finally sit down and put my thoughts and feelings into words. You deserve a glowing review, and I will certainly be recommending you to anyone looking for a doula in the St. Louis area.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.
