Testimonial for Mariah Falin, CD(PALS), PPD, PES
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ildi and Mariah!
We decided to get a doula for our second daughter because the birth of our first didn't go anything like we wanted, expected or planned! With our first (no doula), we wanted to go the unmedicated route but, things quickly headed in a different direction and one intervention lead to another. During my long (and medicated) labor we felt lost and out of control. Afterwards, I felt liked I was robbed of my birthing experience and frankly - tramatized by it. I so wished we would have had Mariah or Ildi the first time around.
With the birth of my second, we had Ildi for the labor and delivery. She was amazing and I could not have done an unmedicated birth without her. My birthing experience the second time around was EXACTLY what I had wanted. I was able to labor at home with confidence as long as possible. Ildi let us know when it was time to head to the hospital. She helped us every step of the way. The support we recived before, during and after delivery is truely the best gift I have ever received. Having a knowledgable person to help you cope is a must but Ildi's energy, compassion and personality is what made having her there so special. Having an advocate and expert along the way allowed me and my husband to focus on laboring, delivery and then our beautiful daughter.
They are a wonderful team and anyone would be lucky to have them! Again, I cannot say enough wonderful things! :)
