Testimonial for Linda Crownover-Inch
We met our "Miss Linda" after reading about her in a local newspaper. I was pregnant with our 2nd child (entering my 2nd trimester) in a state where we were unfamiliar with the birthing politics/environment. Because of my traumatic birthing experience with our 1st child, we were adament about taking charge on this pregnancy/delivery. Immediately upon meeting, Linda was warm & shared a wealth of information. We knew she had experience, knowledge, & mostly a PASSION for moms & the birthing world! Linda listened, gave me hope, & devoted herself to me/my family. She never judged or tried to persuade me in any direction when it came to our birthing choices.....instead she provided us with documented information, instruction, advocacy, support, respect, & love. Unfortunately because of the negative birthing environment in the area, I found myself without a provider at 36 weeks. We were devastated & in awe that such politics & bullying could actually make someones world drop out from underneath them. I remember calling Linda with the news about my provider, sure that she would desert us too, she didn't! She remained loyal & determined to help us out. Our birthing plan changed dramatically to say the least & we found ourselves having to travel out of state, with me (& our toddler) separated from my hubby until the day of birth. I have no doubt that my birthing experience was forever altered because of the stress that we endured. However, having Linda next to us the entire time was more than we we could have ever expected from a doula. We put all our trust in her helping us, in a time where we had no clue which direction to go in, & she performed without question! Linda will always hold a special place in our family! She is more than a doula to us & I would, without hesitation, recommend Linda over & over again!
