Testimonial for Candace McCollett, CBE, CLD, CLE
Full Name is Kandee Khodl. We hired Candace McCollett in June of 2013 to work as our doula for our son's birth in September 2013. We intereviewed many different doulas and choose Candace for her professional approach and her extensive background ande experience. Candace had this amazing abilitiy to really listen to who we were and what we wanted to expereince. Her focus was always to help us understand and communicate what we truly wanted to experience in our labor, before during and after. Her support before the birth was immense as I chose to move doctors at 38 weeks, worked to drop stress and built-up anxiety and continued to hack out our birth plan. Candace spent 90% of our pre-labor, hospital labor, and post labor at our side. She was very instrumental in coordinating with the doctor during the entire labor. In my haze of labor, Candace was my steady and my rock. She documented our entire labor which was a wonderful surprise for us to read through afterwards. Candace was also there to give aide during my first breastfeeding sessions and to answer questions. Candace met with us not only before the labor to dispense answers to our many questions and smooth fears, but her visits after the baby came were priceless. Again her wealth of experience and knowledge was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. We felt very supported, safe, and cared for with Candace. We do plan to continue to use Candace McCollett's services as a doula for future births. I have reccommended Candace to many expecting mothers and will continue to praise her outstanding services.
