Testimonial for Cheryl Murfin, MA/IAEd, CD
Cheryl was and is an absolute life saver during the prepartum, labor and so far our post partum time. Here's all the ways she gave us peace of mind:
She met with us to see if we would be a good fit, but didn't pressure us. She suggested that we also meet with other doulas to ensure that we were a good match.
She came over pre-partum, twice, with the intent of answering any questions that we had. There was no time pressure for her to leave or move to the next client. We felt like when she was with us, we were her priority.
She was open and honest about herself and her experiences - knowing her background more fully helped us to feel closer to her and more comfortable around her.
She completely made herself available for any questions that came up via txt and phone. And believe me, we have a lot of questions.
She knew tricks about how to alleviate pain! I can't stress this one enough of course. But in the end, I opted for an epidural, and she supported my decision.
She was tireless!!! She came straight from one birth to ours, and then I labored for 38+ hours. She must have been exhausted, but she never seemed distracted and never showed signs of fatigue.
My husband commented that he wasn't sure how folks go through the labor process without a doula. He was also very thankful for her presence as he was able to rely on her to help him help me.
Overall, Cheryl is an amazing care taker and we'd highly recommend her to anyone.
