My experience with Holly as my doula was in May of 2010.
Having Holly as my doula was very helpful! She was very patient and encouraging. Holly has an extremely calm personality, which was super helpful during the stressful moments.
My worst fears for childbirth were having to have a C-section due to complications/very long labor. Also, I feared the possible side effects from the epidural. I also wanted my baby to be alert. Because of that, I ended up not getting the epidural. I didn't have any medicine for pain management, which was extremely difficult, but it was my choice. I believe that having Holly as my doula helped me to endure the pain better. She gave me massages and was very encouraging. It was reassuring to me that Holly had been through many births as a doula. I am very pleased with the care that I received from Holly as my doula!
