Testimonial for Dana Oakes-Sand AS, CCE, MCD, NMPP, IPES
My first birth was a hectic one. This pregnancy I decided to try something new. I attended Dana's birthing class and got to know her over several weeks. I then decided to have her as my doula to try for a better birth experience. oh boy was it great! I had let Dana know that in labor I get mean and complain. She was able to help keep me centered, focused and of all things... Laughing!! I had such a great experience and my husband felt supported too and more calm than with our first. Having a doula somehow made the pain of delivery seem less. Dana even recognized when I might have been ready to push. Asking a nurse to go get the dr. Sure enough I was ready!! I wanted a natural birth and I was able to have it. I had been saying I can't do it and needed the epidural. Dana kept saying I could do and that I am in control. I was able to delivery exactly as natural as I wanted. Without her I would not have been able to have such a great experience. We plan to hire Dana again in about two years.
