Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
Wow... where do I even begin? Marcia is so kind, caring, and calm. I could not have picked a better support person for my delivery. After being induced for several days with no progression, Marcia came in one morning motivated to get the show on the road. We worked for an entire day doing positions, showers, yoga moves, masage, anything and everything. Not only did she have all of these great ideas, that worked, she was able to walk my husband through them. They were the best TEAM of coaches I could ever have. I was almost able to accomplish my dream of an all natural childbirth because of her support.Unfortunately, I ended up with a c-section because of my narrow pelvis, and I was terrified. Marcia walked us through options to be sure we could still implement as much of our birth plan as possible, she prayed with us, and she never complained or gave up. After more than 30 hours, she still asked if there was anything she could get for us - truly selfless. I could not imagine going through this without her neverending support. Marcia was always just a text/call/email away for any questions or concerns before and after delivery and I cannot thank her enough for everything. Being an anxious person, I still cannot believe i stated as calm as I did, but it was because of Marcia! I recommend her services to everybody, especially my loved ones. With lots of experience, she knows what she is doing. She never judged us or our decisions, but was able to provide an abundance of information so we could educate ourselves on the decisions we made. I love Marcia with my whole heart and soul and am eternally grateful that she was and is my doula. Thank you!
