Testimonial for Colleen Myatt CD/PCD(DOÑA), CLC, PES, ICCE

I don't know what I would've done without Colleen at my birth. Despite all my hypnobirthing preparation and being very well-prepared and not scared of childbirth at all, when my first real contraction hit the first thing I thought was "this is definitely PAIN." Colleen was everything I imagine a Doula should be. She was extremely nurturing and loving... She soothed me and massaged me and really made me feel like I was taken care of. She was also very knowledgeable and had a lot of techniques in her repertoire for managing childbirth. (walking up and down the staircase at an angle skipping a step in between, laboring on the toilet with my arms tightly wrapped around her, etc,) She knew when it was time to rest. And she knew when it was time to get back at it lest labor stall. She is very strong--she was able to bear all of my weight. She is intuitive and knew what I needed when I needed it. She was able to be soft when she needed to be soft and she was able to be assertive when she need to be assertive. My favorite part of having Colleen at my birth was this incredible birth music that she had... It was this very tribal percussive song that is designed for childbirth... She encouraged me to dance through my contractions and it really helped. I wholeheartedly endorse Colleen as a Doula. she is a wonderful and generous woman and I would be honored to have her at any of my future births.
