Testimonial for Janet Gordon, CD/PCD(DONA), CLC, LCCE
Janet came recommended by my OBGYN and my husband and I couldn't have been more pleased with our experience working with Janet.
Janet immediately put us at ease in that she was honestly interested in knowing what we wanted our birth experience to be and aimed to help facilitate our wishes, while simultaneously providing us with tons of useful information and suggestions.
During the birth, Janet was extremely attentive and helped me stay focused and work through the contractions. She used many of her techniques that we had practiced at our second meeting such as the birthing ball, breathing strategies, aromatherapy, massages, etc. At times, when I was feeling overwhelmed, she was able to be a calming presence and to help remind me of some of the things that were on my birth plan, which was fantastic.
Our postpartum visit was perfectly timed -- it was enough time for us to get settled with our new baby so that by the time we met she was able to answer many of our questions. Janet was able to help me with my feelings of anxiety about all of the changes and made me feel even more supported with her resources and professional connections.
I really believe she made labor an experience I can look back on favorably and I would highly recommend her.
