Testimonial for Carolynn Slocum
My friends highly recommended using a doula service. As my husband and I were preparing for the birth of our first baby we decided to inquire more about using a Doula. Carolynn was highly recommended to us and we set up a meeting to learn more. After initially talking to her we both could immediately see the value in having her at the birth. She was incredibly knowledgeable, had more previous experience then we could have imagined, and a calm personality that suited us perfectly.
When the day finally came, Carolynn could not have been better to have there. She made us feel at ease every step of the way. We were turned away from the hospital because my contractions slowed down. Carolynn was incredibly patient and helped me with progression exercises in the parking lot and garage of the hospital. Her encouragement and loving heart makes everything better and helps your mind move forward! A few hours later we called Carolynn back and headed back to the hospital only to stay this time. When I was admitted she was incredibly helpful and made us feel at home amist the hospital setting. Although the back labor was very unpleasant, Carolynn had so many tricks to ease the pain. She'd tag team with my husband but never once overstepping my husbands role. She made my husband feel like a part of the process the entire time and he absolutely loved that. She was so incredible to have along side us and I highly recommended using her as a doula. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using her for our second baby.
She's not only the very best doula, she's a loving friend, and someone that you'll want apart of your life(and births) forever!
