Testimonial for Lana Abushaheen
I wasn't sure what it would be like to have another person in the delivery room during such an intimate and vulnerable time - but truly we couldn't have done it without the guidance, care, and support from Lana. We leaned on her during complications throughout the pregnancy, labor, and birth process and couldn't imagine navigating the whole experience without her. I say this as someone who is very well informed and was doing everything on my own to prepare for birth. Her experience and support was crucial during labor and for the birth of our son especially when we ran into obstacles that were challenging to navigate. My husband is a physician and Lana's support was paramount for him as well. Despite being in the medical field and knowing about the labor and delivery process, never having experienced it as a father offered a new host of challenges. Lana provided a compassionate, calm and informed approach. She advocated for us and was a sounding board for us when we had to make some difficult decisions. Being Muslim I so appreciated her faith playing such a huge role in the process as we made it known that was imporatnt for us as well. If you're on the fence as I was about hiring a doula I would say go for it!! Having that personalized support from someone who is informed and a calm steady voice makes all the difference even for the most prepared mother.
