Testimonial for Patricia Thomas
The assistance and support we received from our doula, Patricia Thomas, was invaluable in the birth of our first child. From the start, Patricia was warm and welcoming, professional, and graciously flexible with her time and approach to our goals. She helped to prepare us physically and mentally for labor, building our confidence in one another and dispelling fear with relevant information.
When induction was decidedly necessary, I was disoriented by how quickly my wife was "processed" at the hospital. She was noticeably upset, and my confidence was rattled. Patricia arrived and immediately got us back on track, her calming presence and positive vibe was just the moral boost we needed. From there, the three of us truly worked as a team. Never imposing, Patricia provided wonderful suggestions for coping and pain relief. She helped us find rhythm. Her instincts matched our own, and I was grateful for the space she gave us when we coped as a couple through the difficult moments of labor. I really felt that my role as husband and partner were fully respected.
Thank you, Patricia, for helping us bring our beautiful baby girl into the world. Patricia has our recommendation a thousand times over!
