Testimonial for Scarlett Lynsky
Scarlett was great from start to finish! We first met with Scarlett when I was almost 4 months pregnant. I am a "super planner" so hiring the perfect doula for our pregnancy and birth early was very important to me. Scarlett was amazing and met with us a couple times at our home while I was pregant, this gave us an opportunity to really get to know each other and she had us think about things that we as first time parents would not of thought about on our own. Scarlett was great about being in contact with me throughout my pregnancy via phone, email and text.
When my due date came and went Scarlett checked in fequently asking how things were going and how I was feeling. The night I went in thinking I was in labor Scarlett met us at the hospital when we were in triage, it was so nice to have her around to remind me of our birth plan and to ask questions. That night it was decided that I would be induced. I ended up being induced for 3 nights, on the 4th day we decided it was best to hav a c-section. Scarlett knew I was nervous and having a c-section was the furthest thing from my original birth plan (an unmedicated hospital water birth). Scarlett helped ease my nerves and helped my husband and I prep for the OR. Scarlett was able to be in the OR with us and took beautiful pictures of my husband and I seeing our little girl for the first time. Everytime I see these pictures I think to myself how lucky we were to have Scarlett as our support through this crazy journey of parenthood.
Having a doula like Scarlett really allowed my husband to be present for the birth of our daughter. She kept us positive througout all the complications so we could focus on each other and our baby girl!
I highly highly recommend Scarlett to anyone who is looking to have an amazing birth doula during their birth. I am so thankful for Scarlett, her energy and support through this life changing journey.
