We chose Caellyn as our birth doula for the birth of our second child. I had had a traumatic experience with a long labor and a C-section with my first baby, so I was nervous about how this birth would go. Caellyn approached us with compassion and an impressive wealth of knowledge. During our prenatal visits, she coached us on exercises and positions to do to optimize baby’s position. My labor began with back pain, indicating poor positioning and Caellyn gave us tools to encourage baby to turn. Labor ramped up quickly and Caellyn joined us right away. In the hospital she was professional and worked as a team with the clinicians. When I was discouraged at how long it was taking to push, she reminded me how this birth story was different, giving me energy to keep going. I was elated that I got to have a VBAC and Caellyn was a big part of that. Since the birth, she’s been available for support and comfort measures around tearing and postpartum recovery. I highly recommend using Caellyn as your doula!
