Testimonial for Colleen Myatt CD/PCD(DOÑA), CLC, PES, ICCE
I was so impressed with Colleen when we first met her. She was very knowledgeable about the birth topics that were important to me, and I knew that she supported my birth preferences. She was extremely professional, personable, and available. I could always call her to talk. She provided me with what I needed to know to make informed decisions. She was also so kind to check in with me regularly to ask how I was feeling, and to make sure I was taking care of myself.
I wanted to have as natural a birth as possible in a hospital setting, without pain medication or interventions. But when I was almost fully dilated and my water hadn’t broken yet, I started to doubt I wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer. I started asking if it was too late for pain relief. Colleen explained an option that was more in line with what I wanted, and that wouldn’t require medication. I decided to do it and am so glad I did. I don’t think I would have made the same choice without her advice and support. She played a major role in our birth experience, the result of which was our beautiful baby boy!
After delivery, Colleen came back to our house to check in, to help me and baby latch, and to encapsulate my placenta. I love that she was certified to do the placenta encapsulation because it was something I was really interested in doing. She went over all the great benefits with us and I was all the more convinced I should do it. She was very thorough. She came to the house with all of the equipment and made sure everything was done properly, from the preparation to the finished product. And she made sure I understood how to take them. Even after this was all done, she checked in with me to see how things were going. And she sent us a little photo album of the pictures she’d taken! What a nice gift for us to remember our special day! Overall, a great experience with Colleen.
Wonderful doula, wonderful lady.
