Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
Marcia served our family as an assistant to our midwife. When she arrived she brought a wonderful sense of peace and began setting up immediately for the birth. She was diligent in her duties to record necessary information for my midwife, and assisted by taking my blood pressure and temperature as well. She was a calming presence during my very quick labor. I remember during one of my last contractions, looking up and meeting her eyes that were full of hope and confidence, and I knew I could complete this journey. That moment reinforced my belief that I could finish the task at hand! So thankful you were at our birth. You made me confident and comfortable as I birthed this baby! After the birth, Marcia helped me to my bed, got me a snack and some juice, and helped me get settled in with babe. She also helped a bit with my two older kiddos. She began a load of laundry and helped to clean up around the home and empty the birth pool.
As a birth worker myself, I can say Marcia is the cream of the crop, someone I would entrust my birth experience with and one who is completely competent in her role. If you're searching for a doula, Marcia is a wonderful support and enjoys very much supporting families as they go through their birthing experience. She has very diverse experiences in support and has an amazing amount of knowledge to help assist you through the pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Thank you, Marcia for being present during our birth! I will never forget this gift!
