Testimonial for Caryn Fields
I am convinced that if it weren't for Caryn's understanding of the birthing process and the variety of techniques she uses to help alleviate pain, that I would have NOT been able to endure my 58 hour labor without medications and medical interventions! There is a gentle and nurturing way about Caryn that sets her apart from other Doulas.
Throughout the entire labor and with contractions getting stronger and closer together, Caryn explained to us what was happening and provided ideas for pain relief and relaxation. The support and coaching she provided helped us focus and to channel our energy towards the labor process. Caryn never left our side. She remained patient, calm, respectful and was the pillar of strength that we needed to endure such a long labor. When i became discouraged, she would refocus me and instill in me the strength I needed to keep going. Her coaching techniques and advocacy abilities made what otherwise would be a fearfilled experience, a memorable and special one. I will even go as far as to disclose that a few times when things got difficult and I was in intense pain, I called upon Caryn for comfort instead of my husband! And I have a pretty awesome hands-on husband!!! There is just something increadibly special about the way Caryn respects and honors the birthing process and the way that she instilled peace and strength in me. We will be forever grateful for her presence during the birth of our son, she was definitely a God-sent and an increadible blessing. We now consider her not only our doula, but a dear friend. Thank you Caryn!
