Testimonial for Heather Pound -DONA, Hypnobirthing, Photography
Heather is an incredible doula and we would highly recommend her. My husband and I were looking for a knowledgable professional to assist us through the birth of our first child and this is exactly what we found in Heather. She was such an asset and we got so much more than we were hoping for. We were most interested in finding someone who could provide real support to me during labor: Heather was a wealth of information and ideas about how to do just that. She is so easy to work with; she had a simple well organized process for us to create a birth plan. We strategized scenarios, made a few assumptions regarding what we would most likely want given certain situations, and practiced a few labor positions. She consulted with me regarding what to pack in the labor bag, and being prepared for the first few days after the baby. When the big day arrived Heather was so great! We were in constant contact via text or phone call. In the delivery room she was amazing: she never stopped working, she jumped right in and was always helping. She situated my husband in the best place for him to be. She was constantly concerned with my comfort, and always seemed to know just what I needed without me asking: cold compress for my neck, hip squeezes, back massaging. She even held up limbs to take the burden of weight off of me. Her vocal prompts and encouragement during labor were spot on, I couldn't image doing this without her. After delivery she made sure we had a few successful attempts at breast feeding and even took photos of all of us.
Heather is an exceptional doula and I really feel that hiring her was the best thing we did in preparation for our baby.
