I gave birth at The Farm and was planning on staying there a week in their cabin. I wanted to make sure I had help afterwards so I looked for a postpartum doula. I knew I wanted a mature woman with experience. I also wanted someone who could anticipate my needs but also knew when I needed some space. Marcie Hadly was exaclty what I was looking for.
She arrived when she said she would. I felt very comfortable with her through out the whole time. She made wonderful meals for me so I didn't have to worry about cooking. They were delicious! She even stopped by the grocery store when I felt like having a salad but didn't have any of the ingredients for it.
She made sure I was drinking enough and refilled my glass when needed. She also reminded me to take a sitz bath to help my recovery and even prepared the bath with the herbs I had bought for it.
This was my eighth baby so I didn't need any support with breastfeding or infant care. I am sure she would have been wonderful if I needed it though.
She also made sure the kitchen was clean before she left and a load of laundry was completed.
We loved Marcie so much we ended up using her later on for some other support our family needed through a health crisis.
I highly recommend Marcie and I know you will not be disappointed.
