Testimonial for Alaska McFadden

I hired Alaska for both of my pregnancies, initially because I wanted someone who could help me and my husband navigate the medical side of birth. I can sometimes be a pushover with medical providers, so I wanted a strong advocate who could help us feel confident making decisions. Alaska absolutely filled that role. One thing I especially appreciated was how she would ask the doctors to give us a few minutes alone to discuss our options, without feeling pressured to make a decision on the spot.

I also loved Alaska’s birth education, which helped me feel prepared and informed going into both births. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what really sets her apart is that she is never judgmental or pushy about her own viewpoints. Whether you’re considering an epidural, an induction, or different feeding choices, she will support you wholeheartedly. She provides evidence-based information about the pros and cons of your options and is always there to talk things through with you.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Alaska to anyone looking for a strong, confident presence in the delivery room who also brings a genuinely loving, caring, and reassuring energy. The fact that I chose her for both of my births says everything about how much I trust and value her support.
