Testimonial for Adelaine Fox
Adelaine is amazing!! :) I highly recommend her. I picked Adelaine because I knew I’d need emotional support through the birth, and I loved how calm and accepting Adelaine was when I mentioned all of my fears. I knew she’d be an amazing doula for me, and she was!
This was my first baby, and I had a pretty intense, fast birth that brought up deep emotional fears - that I wasn’t strong enough, good enough, or that I would get abandoned in one way or another.
What I needed most during the birth was encouragement that I could do it, acceptance and feeling like others were there with me. Adelaine was totally incredible with this. She was completely there for me, while at the same time following my lead in a way that kept me fully in my own power.
During contractions, I found that moaning was the thing that helped me with the pain the most. So Adelaine and my husband moaned along with me!!! It was exactly what I wanted and needed, like some kind of spiritual ritual - through each contraction, for hours. It felt so wonderfully connecting and validating, especially when I had to keep my eyes closed to focus, to know that they were there with me, in it with me, totally accepting me. They even moaned louder when I asked.
:) And then, aside from all the emotional support, she was there for all the practical things I needed too, that helped make it a great experience. I felt so accepted and supported. I wasn't sure the smooth, natural birth I'd dreamed of could be a reality for me - with Adelaine's help, it was!!
Adelaine was such a great match for me - she just got me. My husband and I are so, so grateful for her. This birth wasn't just something I just got through - thanks to her support, it was a deeply healing, very positive experience for me. I will cherish the memory of that birth, and how supported I felt, for the rest of my life. I highly recommend Adelaine!
