From our initial interview through the delivery of our daughter, Heather provided endless amounts of support, expertise, compassion, and positive energy. My labor and delivery process was quite lengthy and a bit complicating. Long story short, my water broke at 2:00 am on Thursday morning (at 36.5 weeks) and active labor did not start until Sunday at 1:00 am with our daughter being born at 8:16am. Heather made herself available to us throughout this time with visits to the hospital and constant support via phone conversations and texts. In addition, Heather reached out on multiple occasions to the broader doula community to gather additional intel regarding some of the rare complications we were facing.
I can’t imagine going through this experience without Heather. She not only provided emotional and physical comfort to me, but also to my husband, encouraging him to eat, sleep, grab a cup of coffee, etc. This made him so much more available to support me. Heather also captured some fabulous photos and videos for us.
I know this is cliché, but the labor and arrival of our first child was the most amazing thing we’ve ever experienced. We will forever have an incredibly special and strong bond with Heather.
