Testimonial for Haylee Richman CD(DONA), CPES, HCHD
We chose Haylee Richman as a birth Doula for our son who was born at a planned home birth just last week. This is our third child, and we have had a Doula for each of our other two births as well. Haylee was our best experience yet! She went above and beyond our expectations. We appreciated getting two thorough visits with her before the birth, getting to know her and having a birth rehearsal. She even came to our house to help set up the inflatable birth pool. We always felt like we were a top priority for her. She was very responsive with text messages and phone calls leading up to the birth. She took the time to make printouts of positive affirmations that were personalized to our preferences, using hypnobabies terminology, and posted those all around the birthing room. There is a shortage of Hypnobabies certified doulas in our area, but Haylee fits the bill! She is awesome at maximizing the Hypno mom's experience. We found such a good rhythm together during the birth, and her counterpressure, hip squeezes, massage, and suggestions of different positions were all invaluable. During transition and pushing she helped me stay focused and relaxed when I started to feel less comfortable and get tense. She has such a naturally positive and cheerful personality. She also brought our family a meal the day after the birth, and ice extra thoughtful touch that none of our other previous doulas had offered. To sum up, Haylee is loving, dedicated, professional, detail oriented, and we would highly recommend her for anybody!
