Being pregnant you have enough on your plate, so if you don't want to read the remainder of this review, please just read this: Heather made my birth what I wanted it to be. Best money ever spent. Hire her as your doula and she will be your voice, support system, rock (along with your partner of course) and your epidural. If I get pregnant again, she will be my first call so I can lock her down to be my doula again :)
I was one of those over researchers while pregnant. Everything had to be perfect. True to my nature I did lots of research to find the best doula out there. After my very first meeting with Heather I knew she was my person. I immediately connected with her on a level that I connect with very few people. She is so warm hearted, compassionate, reliable, and has the most amazing calming energy. She was there for me my entire pregnancy. She checked in on me and I went to her with questions and support. She would always put me at ease.
My birth did not go as I had planned it to go... which tends to happen. I had to be induced due to low amniotic fluid. Despite this, Heather made my birth go as close to how I had planned as anyone possibly could. She was the reason I had a natural, drug free labor and delivery. I could not have done it without her.
Heather will always hold a large part of my heart. She helped give me the birth I want and I will forever be grateful for her.
