Testimonial for Marcie Hadley, CD(DONA),PCD(DONA),LCCE, CLC
I worked with Marcie from early May to Mid June 2016 after a friend recommended her. I was immediately drawn to Marcie from the first time we met so that we could establish whether we could work together. She had previously worked with women in Uganda, our neighbouring country back home, which made it easy for me to work with her. Her experience was on of the reasons I was confident to work with her. She has such a sweet spirit and easily accomodates everyone making us feeling welcome.
Although we had limited time together, Marcie helped me alot in terms of creating a link to the hospital jargon, being the in-between person for any clarifications, providing great resources including a birth book and sample birth plans. She was eager for any questions that I had and also was accomodating even when I was hesistant of some of the exercises suggested. She afforded us a lot of help especially during the labor process at home and at the hospital. Without her, I would definitely have had more invasive practices at the hospital but she was quick to point out what was necessary and what was not.
Marcie was there throughout the laboring and birthing process even though she was not allowed in the theatre, she later stayed with me in the recovery room until we bonded with the baby. She come back to visit when I went back home and we enjoyed having the baby and her daughter there. I was very happy with Marcie's help that I recommended her to a friend and a colleague who was having a baby later in the year and they agreed to work together, seeing we had such a lovely relationship. Overall, having Marcie as our doula was on of the best decision that we made since she made our experience a great one to remember. I would not hesitate to recommend Marcie again to other parents and parents to be.
