Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
Where do I begin?? I know, without a doubt, that I could not have fulfilled my wish of a non-medicated birth without the support, knowledge and love from Marcia during our long labor. We decided to hire Marcia because we wanted a non-medicated birth for our daughter. Marcia has such a vast knowledge and amazing experience when it comes to supporting both the mother and father for the birth of their child. We knew that emotional support would be extremely important for us and Marcia was there throughtout the entire process - she met with us multiple times prior to our due date, to ensure that we were comfortable with everything and to make sure we didn't have any questions or concerns.
Postpartum support was also extremely important as I had experienced postpartum depression with our first child. Marcia knew that placenta encapsulation would be extremely helpful and she provided that service in the privacy of our home. She also helped with latching when we had a few issues with nursing during the first few days.
Overall, I have recommended Marcia to everyone wanting the experience of a natural birth. Her calming voice and gentle demeanor were exactly what we needed. I cannot say enough about Marcia and her professionalism and we look forward to working with her again in the future!
