Testimonial for Heather Karlson (DONA)

My husband and I had our birth experience with Heather which was nothing short of fantastic.  My hope was to have a natural birth without the use of an epidural and to avoid a c-section if possible.  Heather had helpful tips, resources, and referrals throughout the third trimester to combat discomfort, which was very reassuring for us as first time parents.  I opted to induce after a week past my due date, and went through with the use of pitocin which can cause more severe pain with contractions.  With Heather's knowledge, support, and skill set, I was able to endure it painkiller free.  Unfortunately due to some unforeseen complications I had to get a c-section, but was extraordinarily pleased to have made it as far as I did with the labor.  Considering I have a chronic pain disorder, it was outstanding to be able to do what I did, and I could not have done it without her.  Her calming and compassionate coaching were invaluable!  I highly recommend you go with Heather if you're looking for a Doula to add to your support team.
