Testimonial for Heather McCullough CPM, Hypno, CAPPA Faculty CLE, CLD, CPD
I had a great birth experience and much of the reason for that is because of Heather. Heather is amazing: she makes you feel safe, empowered, and loved throughout your birth experience...all of which was very important to me.
I had some complications in my pregnancy and was told I would be induced at one of my OB appointments. I was nervous about having pitocin. Heather advised me about what to do in early labor. My husband then texted her when I was in active labor at the hospital. Heather came right away and when she walked in the LDR room both my husband and I just relaxed and knew we were in good hands. Heather helped me stay focused through my pressure waves, she knew the hosiptal well and was able to get me the tools I needed to be successful (birthing ball, warm towels, etc.) that as a first time mom I didn't know were available to me.
She included my husband in my birthing process as well. She would say things like: "Why don't you sit here and put pressure on her back right here?" She also helped me find more comfortable laboring positions and helped me in the shower.
When it was time to push, Heather explained to me how to push effectively. She was supportive and encouraged me to feel the baby's head. After baby was born, she helped with breastfeeding.
Afterwards my husband said that he was so glad Heather was there. He wanted to support me throughout the birthing process, but said he just didn't know how to support me best until Heather came and helped us both. I am so grateful for Heather and her positive energy and love for me and my family.
If/when I have another child, she will be my doula again. I highly recommend her.
