Testimonial for Roseanne Ebert CD(DONA)
Roseanne was my birth doula for the birth of my daughter in July of 2014; I hired her through the Valley Hospital. She has an amazing reputation that proceeds her in the hospital and in the community. The doctors and nurses trust her instinct and take her advice. From our first meeting onward Roseanne made me feel confident in myself and in her as well. My goal was a natural birth and she helped me create a birth plan and get myself ready for the big event. When my water broke shortly before midnight I was anxious because I knew I wasnt in active labor. I was very scared I would be pushed into pitocin or induction. Roseanne was actually assisting with a VBAC down the hall when I arrived at the hospital. In the end she ended up going home, sleeping for maybe an hour or two and then came back to the hospital for me. She encouraged me to use the therapy tub because she knew it was something I really wanted and I was able to slow down my breathing and center myself right before pushing. She has amazing instincts - she could tell which position would work best for me to labor, push and to deliver in (each one different). She ended up crawling behind my hospital bed so that she stand behind the head of the bed and could hold my hands as I kneeled on the bed. I remember looking straight into her eyes between contractions and I just knew that I could trust her completely and that everything was going to be ok. I ended up delivering my daughter after a powerful 3.5 hours of labor and pushing - completely drug and IV free. I know that having Roseanne, as well as my husband there as my support group helped me make it all the way. Everyone I have spoken to that has met Roseanne only has amazing things to say - and many wish they had her during their births. This woman has a huge heart and has truly been called to this work. Cant say enough good things!!
