Testimonial for Janet Gordon, CD/PCD(DONA), CLC, LCCE
I am a very strong independent woman and I chose, due to my age, to have my daughter on my own. My beautiful daughter is now 10 months old and I still am in contact with Janet. She is such a caring person and I loved having her as my doula.
I think the birth of a child is very intimate and at the time I felt that I had done all of the challenging steps to bring my baby into this world on my own, that I didn't need or want to have anyone else in the delivery room with me. When I met Janet, I just knew she was what I needed! She spent time going over my birth plan and asked me questions that I never even thought to consider. She was prepared and therefore, made me prepared for an experience you can never fully prepare for. I also really liked how Janet was flexible with her role. I knew I wanted her to only assist me in the hospital and she was open to whatever I wanted and needed. She was such a calming and nurturing soul during the many hours of labor. She supported and guided me through decisions that had to be made. She also communicated with my family about what was occurring to alleviate that stressor on me. She even asked to take pictures of my newly born daughter and me which I still look at often and cry happy tears. She was there for such an amazing miracle and I'll be forever grateful!
