Testimonial for Willow Rosen
We were so fortunate to have Willow as our doula for the birth of our second daughter this past January. We were planning a VBAC in a modified home birth setting (in a birthing suite at our midwife's office) and knew that we would benefit from doula support. From the moment I spoke with Willow on the phone, she provided a sense of calm and understanding. She intuitively was able to read various situations and road blocks that we experienced with our birth and provided continuous support before, during and after the birth of our daughter. An example of Willow's intuitive nature was happened at the very start of our birth. Just as we arrived to our midwive's office in labor, we were told that the water heater was not working and therefore we would not have access to the birthing pool. This was very hard to hear and was presented in a matter of fact manner by our midwife. Because I could not change this, I did not discuss it further. Not too long after this, my labor stalled and Willow suggested that my husband and I take a walk. She asked if I wanted her to come along or not. Right as we got outside, she was able to read how this had affected me and asked me how I felt about not having access to the birthing pool and allowed me time to process this more. Examples of her intuitive support and perfectly timed words of encouragement are infinite. She was always available during our birth yet allowed my husband and I to process along various pieces of our birth experience along the way. Our birth journey was quite long and she was there the entire time! I highly recommend Willow as a doula and her support was invaluable for my husband and I.
