Testimonial for Mary Ficek, CLD(CBI), CBC(CBI)
I recently gave birth to my first child, and feel so fortunate that Mary was part of the process. I knew I wanted to use a doula, and Mary came highly recommended. I see why. She is obviously very knowledgeable about all aspects of prenatal care, labor/delivery and postpartum support. But, it was really her personality that made all the difference for us. She reassured me/us with her steady guidance, patience and words of support when I needed it most. She knew just when to step in and when to hang back. She made sure we understood our choices throughout the process. And although I knew Mary's preferences and the reasons behind them, I never felt pressured or judged by her if I went another route.
Mary proved to be a great support after the baby was born too as I adjusted to breastfeeding and struggled with some postpartum issues. She was readily available by phone or for visits.
My husband and I are so grateful to Mary, and highly recommend her.
