Testimonial for Wendy Gorter, CD(DONA)
I had the joy of meeting Wendy Gorter about a month and a half before my expected due date and knew immediately that I wanted her to be one of my birth coaches along with my husband. From the start, she was very accommodating and supportive of my needs and my birthing experience. We had two prenatal meetings, and she was very informative and helped to calm down my anxiety as a FTM. She routinely checked up on me and was so sweet and caring.
The big day came, and Wendy came to the hospital as soon as I asked her to. As soon as she arrived, she helped my labor to progress along by encouraging me to move around; she walked the hospital hallways with me, encouraged me to bounce on the birthing ball, and constantly massaged my back during every contractions. With Wendy massaging my lower back and my husband massaging my hands and arms, I felt relaxed and confident. My labor progressed pretty quickly, and I attribute it to Wendy's help. I think her wonderful lower back massage during every contractions not only alleviated my pain, but also helped bring the baby down quicker!
Having Wendy as my doula was a great decision and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a doula for a pleasant birthing experience.
