Testimonial for Dana Oakes-Sand AS, CCE, MCD, NMPP, IPES
God gives all of us gifts and He blessed Dana & Jessica with the amazing gift of guiding parents through the birthing process. As we were preparing to welcome our first born into this world, I was hoping to have a calm, medicine free, vaginal delivery. My husband and I do not have any family near by, and we wanted to have a good support team by our side. I contacted Dana during my second trimester, I needed someone to help me through the rough pregnancy. I was diagnosed with HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) at 9 wks. gestational which also lead to bad anxiety for the majority of my pregnancy. As Dana and Jessica walked me through the darkest parts of my pregnancy, we created a close knit support system. We hired Dana to teach her birthing classes at our home and hired Jessica to be our doula for labor and delivery. Dana's birthing classes were relaxed, fun, and informative. Jessica's support and assistance was critical during our 18 hours of labor. My husband and I are so grateful we were able to achieve a drug free, natural birth. We truly enjoyed working with Dana & Jessica and have remained in close contact. I highly recommend their services and look forward to working with them both again in the future! - Caitlin
From my point of view as a husband, having Jessica alongside during the birth was a game-changer. We were anxious to get to the hospital after Caitlin had been in labor for several hours, but because of Jessica's expertise, she encouraged Caitlin to continue to labor at home. I'm glad we did because it helped Caitlin remain calm and focused. Our doctor said she would welcome Jessica at every one of her deliveries. We were blessed to have Jessica with us. She prayed with us. Supported us. Loved us. Also, Dana went out of her way to visit us at home to support Caitlin as she attempted to breast-feed. Dana & Jessica went above and beyond. Simply, all we can say is thank you! - Hakem
