Testimonial for Olena Milirud
From the first time we spoke with Olena we felt comfortable and cared for, it was easy to decide to hire her, and we are so grateful that we did. Olena is a wealth of knowledge and shared everything we needed to know and more to prepare for the birth of our son in the pre-birth appointments. Olena checked in as the pregnancy progressed but more importantly, she was really crucial during the birth of our son. Even before I went to the hospital, Olena could tell by my voice on the phone how far things had progressed. There was a clear difference between the time my husband I labored alone and when Olena showed up at the hospital. I had considered getting an epidural, but when Olena came, I immediately felt more calm, empowered and capable to do it without medication. Olena worked as a team with my husband and I, even when I did not have the words or know what decisions to make because of the intense focus that was needed for the labor. Olena was an advocate for me with the hospital workers, and I knew she was a trusted person who had my best interests in mind. I don’t even know who the doctor was, all the support I needed came from Olena. When Olena provided a peaceful presence for me and encouraged me, I believed in myself. I was able to employ the techniques we practiced together to cope with the pain. Olena was critical in providing information to my husband and guiding him in supporting me.
After I gave birth, Olena provided crucial postpartum support that helped us to feel less alone and less stressed. I had the most positive birth experience, and I owe a lot of that to Olena. We are forever grateful for Olena. Anyone who hires her will be blessed by her unique gifts and talents!
