Heather was a godsend! This was our 4th birth and we were hoping for something different. We had a stillbirth, a medicated vaginal birth, and a cesarean...we were really hoping for a unmedicated non-interventive VBAC. We knew we needed support if this was going to happen.
We interviewed several doulas before deciding to go with Heather. We both connected easily with her and felt like she could support us well. We were right!
Heather knows her way within the birthing scenario, she is intuitive in her approach but also full of tools to help to help with labor and birth. She gave me constant help in relaxation through every contraction while giving my husband a sense of peace that he never had before in our births. He didn't feel like he needed to have all the tools to help me, he could rely on her while simply being with me while anticipating the birth of our baby. Both of our experiences were impacted because of Heather's presence. I really don't think I could have held on like I did for the birth I wanted if it wasn't for her. Even the daily texts with my questions and her answers and encouragement leading up to that big day were a support I didn't even know I needed.
I would highly recommended Heather as a doula!
