Testimonial for Candace McCollett, CBE, CLD, CLE
Our experience with Candace was exceptional. I was able to endure 40+ hours of labor without the use of drugs and in the comfort of my own home. Because of Candace's knowledgable input, we were able to arrive at the hospital 2 hours before our daughter was born. This was one of many reasons why we hired her. From the very first time we met Hershey made my husband and I feel very comfortable. Throughout my labor she was able to help mange my pain with natural remedies and keep me calm. Once we arrived at the hospital, her knowledge and experience was helpful to ensure that our birth plan was followed through. It was also very obvious that she had a good relationship with the staff at the hospital, which ensured we had the support of the staff. Her care did not stop once our daughter was born. Her breastfeeding knowledge allowed for a smooth transition to feeding. If she had not been there with us, I don't know what we would have done, since my daughter was born at night when a lactation consultant was not available at the hospital. She stayed with us several hours after our daughters birth. Additionally, she was available to answer any of our questions/concerns after our daughter was born. Her post birth in-home visit was very helpful and she was able to help with breast feeding questions and was able to give useful suggestions. I am confident that if we had not had Candace with us during my labor and birth of our daughter, our birth experience would not have been as positive. We will defiantly be hiring her again for our next birth.
