Testimonial for Isabelle Peabody
Isabelle was a truly wonderful doula, from beginning to end. We felt comfortable with her kind, sensitive personality the moment we met her at our initial interview. Isabelle made herself available throughout my pregnancy and was a great source of support and comfort when I ended up having prolonged labor for five days at the end of my pregnancy. She was a helpful sounding board as we struggled to make decisions during this time, and she never ceased to support my views and help me feel better about my situation whenever possible.
During my labor, Isabelle was an amazing coach. Between her and my midwife, I was able to push when I needed to and to feel like I was actually making progress- which I was! She worked well with the nurses and midwives at the hospital, and was supportive of my husband and my mother as well as myself. I had my son after just half an hour of pushing, and I think the speed at which I was able to do so was in large part because of Isabelle's tremendous coaching in the moments that it really mattered. In addition, when I was struggling with breast feeding my son in the days following his birth, Isabelle came and helped me as soon as I communicated to her how stressed I felt. Her coaching, communication, knowledge, and support were instrumental in my ability to keep nursing, which I am now happily (and finally painlessly) doing four months later! I can't imagine anyone would be anything but thrilled with their experience with Isabelle as their doula. She is sweet-natured, kind, understanding, and wonderfully supportive in whatever decisions you make about your birth experience- just what we were looking for in a doula! I can't say enough good things about her- I know anyone would be happy going with Isabelle as their doula, and I believe that anyone who gets to work with her is very lucky.
