Testimonial for Cherish Perez CD(DONA),CLE, CBE
If you're reading this it's safe to assume you're seeking a doula for this amazing journey you're about to embark. I have to say if you've chosen Cherish as your doula you've made a wise and beautiful choice. She's amazing. I would like to take some time to share my experience with you to give you an idea of how amazing the support from having Cherish on your birth team can really be beneficial and wonderful.
Cherish approached me and offered to be my doula. Oh my. At the time I had no idea how crucial it was to have her on my birth team. The plan was a home birth. The pregnancy, birth, and after birth was all the total opposite of what I planned.
Cherish provided me emotional support for more than half my pregnancy. We discussed at great length breast feeding as that was my biggest concern postpartum. She gave me ideas on how to plan and educational tools to be prepared for breast feeding. A few hours after my water broke Cherish came over in the middle of the night around 1am to provide guidance and support. There was a small hiccup in my birth plan and I was relocated to the local hospital for the birth of my baby boy. Cherish has permission to share the story at greater length should you like to know more.
Basically things were a little off for me, and Cherish was right there the whole time. She even packed my bag for the hospital as I arrived in only a tank top covered by blankets. She was there during the delivery and helped me through the birth. I had her in one ear and my mid wife in the other ear encouraging me and helping me focus and complete the last step that would give life to my tiny human. In the end I can't imagine having the experience I did with this challenging pregnancy, birth, and postpartum adventure with out her by my side. Cherish has one of the kindest & genuine souls I've ever encountered. She was so valuable to me and I will always be grateful. Daisy Clapper
