Testimonial for Mary Ficek, CLD(CBI), CBC(CBI)
We used Mary Ficek for the delivery of our first child. Mary Ficek was one of the best investments I have ever made. I read several books on the delivery process by qualified academics trained in research design. They were wonderfully informative. But none of them prepared me for what to actually do when my wife was in extraordinary pain every several minutes or how to actually handle sleep deprivation.
Mary showed up when we called her-- late one night, I might add and without delay. She stayed around for the multi-day birthing process at the hospital. She was helpful from start to finish. She always knew what to do to make my wife as comfortable as possible. She massaged my wife's back when it was time to sit. She encouraged my wife to walk when it was time to move. She even showed up with coffee when we needed it. She fit right into our conventional, hospital birth. We would be lost without her. She is worth every single dollar we paid her. The biggest endorsement I can offer is that my wife and I both agreed that we will use her for our future kids.
If you're reading this an uncertain about doulas, don't be. Hire her. You won't regret it for a second.
