Testimonial for Donna Rigert
We started our search on doulamatch and I emailed a few other doulas, Donna was the first to respond (and continued to repsond in a timely fashion) and I automatically got a warm feeling from her, just from her emails. I felt like I was forcing myself to look at other doulas when I knew all along whom I wanted: Donna.
This was my first pregnancy, I didn't know much and was scared, but and I knew one thing: I wanted to go all-natural, if my body would allow it. With Donna's prepping, knowledge, advice, and past experiences, I gave birth just the way I wanted: non-medicated and vaginally. I truly do believe most was due to her encouragement, preparation, and support.
During my labor, she was a constant supporter and encourager for me, some how through the process she also managed to capture great photos and create a birth story for us: start to finish! She's available and a quick responder, and always warm and sincere in her responses; she keeps things real and honest. You don’t want anyone to sugarcoat things for you, especially during a labor and birth. You want to be prepared, and Donna did just that. I feel that she goes beyond the call of duty. My husband and I are so thankful that we decided on her. First my doula, now my friend :)
