I met Heather in the prenatal yoga class. I immediately liked her cheerful and positive personality.
We are so grateful that she was our doula! As first time parents we had nothing but questions, and we didn't know what to expect. Heather was a great childbirth educator, explained to us step by step the delivery process, and informed us about possible outcomes, and choices.
Our delivery wasn't what we had planned... At all! We were hoping for a natural, low intervention birth, but our baby decided to be 11 days late, and one thing lead to the other.
After a routine check up, the midwife decided to start ripening the cervix, and that lead to continuous heart rate monitoring, my water broke, that lead to pitosin, IV, baby stressed out... and then the c-section :/
Heather arrived to the hospital promptly after I started taking the pitosin at 2:00 am, and coached me during my contractions, helped me changing positions, walking, and dealing with the pain. When the midwife began talking about a c-section, Heather "translated" for us what was happening, and helped us to made an informed decision.
Heather's knowledge, and professionalism was invaluable for us in the delivery room, and was enormously helpful. We would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a caring, warm, and professional doula.
With love, Tatiana, Nick and Martina
