Testimonial for Heather Karlson (DONA)
My husband and I are firm believers that God puts individuals in our lives to guide us or teach us valuable lessons. We know Heather Karlson was brought to us for a reason! As we prepared for the birth of our second child, I knew I wanted a Doula to help me achieve my goal of a healthy, natural birth. For this to happen, I knew we needed someone special to help us on our journey. From the moment we met Heather, we knew she was a perfect match for us! Her warm smile, caring personality, and wealth of knowledge made us feel at ease. In the weeks leading up to my due date, Heather sat down with us to discuss our goals and what we envisioned for the birth. As the big day approached, Heather checked in to see how I was feeling and how my appointments were going. I always knew she was only a call or text away. When the day arrived, I labored at home comfortably while staying in constant contact with Heather. She met us at the hospital with that same warm smile that put us at ease the first time we met. Upon arrival, I was 8cm dilated. All I can say is thank God Heather was by my side! As I labored the final 2cm, Heather was a source of strength and comfort. Her encouraging words and techniques such as, massage and aromatherapy helped me stay focused and as comfortable as possible. When it came time to push, Heather was right there reminding me of how strong I was and that I was accomplishing my goals! After 23 mins of pushing, our healthy daughter was born! Had it not been for the support of Heather, I don't know if I would have been able to have an unmedicated delivery. Finally, but most importantly of all, Heather was a huge source of spiritual support. As I mentioned earlier, Heather came into our lives for a reason. I personally needed someone who I could connect with on a deeper, more spiritual level for the miracle of birth. If you are looking for a Doula that will support you physically, emotionally and spiritually, look no further than Heather!
