Testimonial for Mary Ficek, CLD(CBI), CBC(CBI)
I have to start this by saying....I am the kind of person who never thought they would need or hire a doula. With some uncertainties looming with our birth....unfamiliar hospital, and general nervousness after suffering a miscarriage in my last pregnancy....a friend recommended hiring a doula. She gave me Mary's contact info and I decided I would call her and feel it all out. When speaking with Mary for the first time I knew I wanted to hire her....she understood my concerns, was compassionate, and had ideas for preparing for our birth. Subsequent appointments further confirmed how happy I was to have found Mary. As with most births, ours did not go according to the plan....our little lady just did want to make her appearance. Mary was supportive and 100% there for me through all of the decision making regarding an induction. Once we were finally in labor she was amazing. I can't tell you how happy I was to have someone 100% there to keep me motivated and working towards the goal of bringing our baby into the world as safely as possible. it was also nice that my husband could eat dinner, and address work issues without leaving me alone. Mary's ability to keep me happy, focused and sane during the entire process was worth every penny and more than her service fee! I cannot recommend her enough....knowledgeable, qualified, fun....it was like having a great friend who is also an expert in birthing with you The entire time.
