Testimonial for Char Char Perkins RN LCCE, CD(DONA)
This testimonial has been the hardest I ever had to write. Meaing, words cannot describe how wonderful Char Perkins is! This testimonial will not even touch the tip of how grateful we were to have Char assist us prior to, during and after the birth of our beautiful son.
My husband and I attended Char's laboring class at Genesis Hospitals and felt more at ease as the arrival of our son approached. She thouroughly went over what can and will happen during all aspects of labor. My husband appreciated all the coaching she provided prior to being induced.
Due to signs of preclampsia I needed to be induced on a Tuesday, early morning. Char visited us that night, the next day and was with us during the entire time we were in active labor Thursday and even stayed with us an hour afterwards.
She provided so much information so we could make the best decisions during labor for our family (mommy, daddy and baby). She helped us with our birth plan as well as helping us enforce it. She made the bridge between us and the busy labor unit seem so small and communicatable. The Genesis nurses and OBGYN Doctors were amazing and I could not have asked for a better team, let's be honest though, there are other patients they need to take care of. Char was with us 100%.
There is so much more to say about Char Perkins, like I said, this testimonial will not do her justice. But all I can tell you is if you are concidering a dula, stop. You need Char. If you are not concidering a dula, stop. You need Char. The care that she provides I have never seen in any industry let alone in most people.
We made the best choice by chosing Char Perkins as a doula. If there are more children in our future, with my husband being 1st to know, Char will be the 2nd to know because I will be requesting her services on the spot. Char made being induced and all the decisions during labor seem so small. We love Char!
