Testimonial for Tonya Pearson CD(DONA)
From my father‘s perspective: my wife and I took the Bradley method course with a goal of natural delivery; we learned a lot of great info during the classes but the idea of trying to putting it all into practice for the first time by myself was a daunting task to consider. A doula was the best option for us to accomplish our goal.
We found Tonya through a friend recommendation and she was great from the get-go. She made time to meet with us couple of times before the birth and also followup us afterwards. We had a hospital birth and so one thing we really appreciated about Tonya was how well she worked WITH staff and didn’t butt heads with them. Even later, staff told us, “You got a good one,” that how great she was, and how doulas are not always that easy and great to work with.
And as for us, she was so helpful. She knew how to navigate the hospital room and was resourcing things I never knew I could as a patient - it was so great. For the labor, she very hands on with all her tools, and didn’t miss a beat the whole 17 hours she was with us during my wife’s 23 hour labor.
We loved having her as our doula and recommend her to any mom considering natural birth (home or hospital) and even those who are considering epidural. We never felt judged for having an epidural on our list of options, even though we ended up going unmedicated and delivering a beautiful, alert and healthy baby girl! Thanks again, Tonya ????
