Testimonial for Dana Oakes-Sand AS, CCE, MCD, NMPP, IPES

Dana was an amazing doula. I had to be induced and I was scared. I was in horrible pain and both my husband and I were exhausted. I had wanted a natural birth and everything was going differently, until Dana got to the hospital. Once Dana was there I was able to relax and enjoy (yes enjoy) my labor. She reminded me to ride my waves of contractions, not fight them. She was there to rub my back, to allow my husband to rest, when the OB suggested a csection, I looked at Dana. I knew that if she supported the choice it was the right one to make. In a way, I trusted Dana more than my OB, the man I let cut my stomach open, to perform my first surgery and to deliver my son safely. She stayed with my husband while the OB put me under and delivered my son and stayed with us until we were moved into the room I was to stay in. Without Dana's calm reassurance and strength, I wouldn't have been able to find my power. If we have any more children, Dana will be our first call.
