Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
A husband/father's perspective: Having a doula was important to my wife but I went in to the process with no idea of what to expect and how much it would eventually help both of us. During our interview with her, I was immediately impressed with Marcia's knowledge and professionalism. During the pregnancy she was a great resource for questions we both had. My wife had a very long labor - throughout that process Marcia's dedication to her client really showed. She was available for questions throughout one entire night and spent the next day/night/day with us at home and the hospital. All along she reassured us (mostly me) when we were worried, helped my wife manage her contractions, and kept my wife focused on her VBAC goal. At the hospital, Marcia was even more amazing - remembering so many little things to make the last bit of labor easier, helping out with countless details in the hospital, knowing the hospital procedures and staff, and relieving me as a support person at key points as I became more tired. I could not imagine going through this process without her, the support and knowledge Marcia gave us was so important in my wife's successful VBAC delivery of our son.
