Testimonial for Chloe Wilcox. CD(DONA)
The natural, unmedicated hospital birth of our second child was everything I hoped - totally supported, beautiful, empowering and full of healing after experiencing disappointment and regret over my first birth. I credit much of that to our amazing doula! Chloe was my comfort, reassurance and peaceful voice in the midst of all my fear, freeing my husband to be my strong and loving husband. She used her wealth of knowledge about birth and bodies to offer helpful suggestions throughout pregnancy and labor. At my worst during labor, exhausted and full of fear, she kept me grounded with comforting words, humming a soft tune, gripping my shaky hand. Like she knew just what I needed in the moment. Though this birth went beautifully and exactly as hoped, I have no doubt that Chloe would have been totally supportive and loving in the face of anything unexpected. This pregnancy was fraught with numerous concerns over baby's health, extra monitoring and much anxiety. Every fear expressed to Chloe was met with understanding, comfort, love and wonderful advice. I sent her so many emails with my fears and frustrations, and each reply was exactly what I needed at the time. Baby was breech until 38 weeks, and during those weeks of worry Chloe had lots of helpful information about our options. Thankfully baby turned on her own, all other concerns were dismissed and we went on to have an amazing birth! Chloe has not only been called to help women and families, she has been blessed with a gift. Her demeanor is calm, joyful, comforting, relatable and honest. Our first meeting felt like I was chatting with a long lost friend. She truly loves this work, loves helping women and families, and wants to make the world a more peaceful place by supporting them during the amazing transition of birthing a baby. I'm so glad I found Chloe. My only regret is not having her at my first birth. I hope we decide to have more kids in the future because I would love to have her as my doula again!
