Testimonial for Tiffany Guenther, CD(PALS)
My husband and I were very grateful to have Tiffany with us for our first birth. She supported us not only physically, but also emotionally, and spiritually as well(at our request).
Tiffany quickly responded to my texts and gave me helpful information for me to make decisions. Although I also called the on-call midwives line, they took about a half hour to get back to me, meanwhile Tiffany had already responded to my inquiries and helped me to understand what might be going on with me and what actions I might consider to do next. It made my talk with the on-call midwife more productive.The day I went into labor, another of Tiffany’s clients also went into labor, she gave me her back up contact’s info. We ended up using Tiffany’s back up for a couple of hours and she provided us the support we needed that Tiffany and we had talked about in our birth plan. I was hoping to avoid getting an epidural, but I ended up getting one and although I was relieved from pain I was also disappointed, but Tiffany continued to help keep my thoughts positive. She also knew that rotating me into different positions with the epidural might facilitate labor progress as my labor had stalled once I received the epidural. At one point the baby’s heart rate dropped and Tiffany was very keen to see how I was handling the situation and to assure me everything would be okay. When I finally was 100% effaced, it was very comforting to have Tiffany let me know what I would experience next and how to handle it. She relieved my husband so he could get some food and rest at times. My husband was glad to have Tiffany there as it helped him tune into how to help me get through contractions and eventually how to coach me how to push. At our request, Tiffany also took pictures for us of our birth which we did not realize how much we would treasure until we looked at them weeks postpartum.
We would highly recommend Tiffany to anyone we know looking for a doula.
