Testimonial for Terra Peterson Jonker CD(DONA)
Terra Peterson Jonker is Doula Of The Year in our eyes. My wife Laurie and I have recently adopted the baby of one of our family friends daughters. The birth mother lived with us for six weeks prior to the birth and for two weeks after. All three of us felt SO comfortable with Terra. It is very clear from our experience that this is not a job Terra does, but a passion she has for helping expecting families get exactly what that want during the birth experience. We all felt we were treated with incredible care, respect, and love.
From the beginning, Terra started by asking what we were hoping for during the process, and then went above and beyond to help that come to fruition. We always felt comfortable asking quesions and seeking guidance. We did this before the birth via text, phone calls and emails. She was prompt in responding and always had the information we were seeking or found it for us quickly.
During the labor process Terra was nothing but a rock star. She came to our home when we felt we needed the extra support, and guided us through delivery more than 24 hours later. Her soft but confident approach made us feel more safe and secure during labor. When we were anxious or feeling insecure, Terra was right there. It was comforting to look across the labor room and receive re-assuring looks or words of advice.
After delivery, Terra came to our house again after a couple days to check in. She was able to answer all our new questions again. We feel like we started with a doula for support but ended with a friend or more so family.
We cannot recommend Terra highly enough. She was simply awesome.
