Testimonial for Terra Peterson Jonker CD(DONA)
Terra attended the birth of my second child, Maya. From the very beginning of working with Terra she was so calm and supportive. I felt very comfortable speaking with her about my concerns and hopes for this delivery. My husband, who is generally skeptical of my "crunchy" holistic ideas, wasn't sure we needed a doula the second time around. After her birth he told me he was going to hire a doula for each of his siblings as a gift. He went on to praise her ideas for helping me through labor, stating that it took the pressure off him to know what to do and when to do it and he could just enjoy the experience. We both knew what I should have been doing, but it was so much easier not to think and to let someone else coach us through this. She was there to speak up when I couldn't or bring up things that I had spoke to her about but wasn't able to remember at the time, but also encouraged and supported me as I voiced my ideas and opinions to the medical staff. Terra's easy-going, calm and nurturing demeanor helped make this birth exactly what I needed after a very chaotic delivery with my first child. We are so thankful for her guidence and care during this delivery.
