Char is incredible. And I can't imagine my pregnancy and labor experience without her. Char took the time to sit down with me and my husband to get a comprehensive understanding of how to best support us both through labor and delivery. Char never tried to force her opinion on us and she never judged us. She was always available to answer our plethora of questions during the pregnancy. And she didn't mind taking the time to talk with us during the pregnancy when extra emotional support was needed. In all of our interactions with Char, her passion for being a doula was evident. But it was during the labor and delivery that Char absolutely shined. I do not know what I would have done without her. She was a constant source of encouragement during all 12 hours of labor. Her commitment to helping me achieve the childbirth experience I wanted never wavered...even during the moments when i wondered what I had gotten myself into with a natural birth. Labor was intense and has since blurred together, but during all the moments I can clearly recall, Char is by my side giving me the guidance I need, offering ways to increase physical comfort, and offering the right words at the right time to encourage me on. I cannot imagine my childbirth experience without Char, nor do I want to. Char is a true professional with a heart for laboring mamas. She is always prepared, always on the ball, and absolutely loves what she does. My husband is already talking about more kids. I told him that was fine as long as he found a way to make sure Char was by my side.
