Testimonial for Meredith Markussen, CD(DONA)
I don't know what we would have done without Meredith! This being our first child and not knowing what to expect, she calmed our nerves and prepared us for all the possibilities. She kept continuous communication throughout my pregnancy and answered all those little questions I had (aches, pains, labor or not labor?). When labor began she was right there coaching both my husband and I on how to relieve the pain and which positions might help. Meredith was so organized and prepared. She even brought honey sticks to give me energy for pushing! Since my husband is a first responder, I didn't want him going into "paramedic mode" when I went in to labor so I needed a doula to bring comfort and calmness when all was chaotic. Meredith was just that! She was a source of encouragement, guidance and support for both of us. A true advocate for what we wanted our little girl's birth story to look like. We love Meredith and couldn't imagine having a better doula!
