Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
Where to begin....as a person who likes and wants reassurance, longs for support, and as a first time mom, I could NEVER have imagined going through this without Marcia. Marcia answered so many questions for me day and night as I struggled with high blood pressure before and after delivery. She's patient and kind. She helped my husband and I put together a birth plan which was perfect for us...unfortunately my labor and delivery went pretty much opposite of my plan. I was induced and ended up laboring for 36 agonizing hours. Marcia was a rock for my husband and a huge support physically, emotionally, and spiritually for me. I wanted to give up so many times but she kept me going...providing encouragement, praise, and coaching for when I needed it. She stuck by our side for the whole 36 hours. I can't speak for my husband but I do know that he said that we probably wouldn't have been able to hang on without her. We are eternally grateful for Marcia. Even after delivery she came to visit me at home and continues to help me adjust to motherhood. She is a god send and her services can't be replaced. I HIGHLY recommend Marcia...not just for the mother but for the father. She helped my husband be the best coach. I'm so thankful for Marcia and could never repay her for all she did for my family. Marcia I am forever thankful for you. Thank you so so much.
