Testimonial for Britt Sando CD(DONA), LCCE, IBCLC
As first time parents, my husband and I felt it was really important to enlist the help of a doula as we navigated our way through pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. We could not have been happier with Britt. She was highly responsive whenever we had questions, was always on time for our appointments and, most importantly, has the perfect temperment. She's warm with a great sense of humor, but also firm and straight-forward.
Britt also has good relationships with the midwives at Avalon, who we chose to deliver our baby, and knows many of the nurses and doctors at Morristown. This was extremely helpful during labor - Britt knew how to handle every person who came in the room and knew how to get everything we needed. When things got a little intense during labor, Britt totally took charge and provided the kind of guidance that kept my husband calm and collected, and allowed me to focus on getting through contractions.
Although our goal had been to try and achieve a natural birth, I ended up with an epidural. Britt totally supported my decision and remained by my side throughout the rest of my labor and delivery. I'll never forget watching her clean our room and pack up my soaking wet and bloody clothes in anticipation of our parents arriving. Or hearing her encouraging words as I started pushing. Or, as I was laying with my new baby on my chest, her appearing beside me with a pitcher full of a fizzy, sweet concoction that brought me back to the land of the living. Britt just does what needs to be done.
I also had her encapsulate my placenta and she brought it by the hospital the next day, along with a tincture. I have been very pleased with the results of the pills and look forward to utilizing the tincture in the future.
I cannot recommend her services enough.
