Testimonial for Grace Van Bruwaene
Grace was my doula for the birth of my very first child in January 2011. With 8 days of trying to induce labour, she was fantastic at coming out to our place (out of town) to try to help with getting labour going. She was a trooper when I dragged her and my husband out to walk through town at midnight in the middle of winter....we even climbed snow banks (which I loved).
When my water broke at 11pm on the friday night, Grace drove out as soon as I called and was there through the whole 20hrs of labour. As part of my support team, she was great at doing whatever I needed at the time and helping to include my husband and bestfriend as well. She was very patient and understanding when I told her some things weren't working. She is able to put my personality with her techniques and come up with alternate visualizations.
We ended up with an emergency c-section and Grace was there afterwards with breastfeeding knowledge and resources when we were struggling. I really appreciated the follow-up visits and support phone calls when I felt frustrated and needed someone to listen.
I look forward to having Grace attend all of my births!!! :)
