Testimonial for Beverly Nikerle CD(DONA)
I am so happy with our decision to hire Beverly. She is there for you no matter the length of your labor. Other doulas charge extra if your labor goes over a certain time limit. I had a long and complicated labor and Beverly was there for me the entire time. I went into labor at 2am and by 2pm I wanted to go to the hospital; I called my doctor they recommended that I stay home for a while. Beverly came over to our house at 3 and helped us get things going. We went to the hospital at 5pm, I was only dilated 1 cm so they sent me home at 8pm. Beverly was very comforting, I was not happy about this news. She offered to come back to the house with us but we let her go home. The next morning we went back to the hospital, Beverly came back to the hospital around noon. She helped me with some techniques for the pain before I got an epidural (I had planned on an epidural). My daughter was born a little after midnight. Beverly took amazing pictures of the pushing process, after the birth, and the baby.
She was also very supportive before I went into labor. She encouraged me to text her in the final weeks to let her know how things were at doctors visits and to text her if I had any concerns or questions. One evening a day before my due date we lost power and I was concerned that our cars were in the garage and if I went into labor we may not be able to get our cars out. I texted Beverly my concern and she said not to worry if I went into labor she would come get us and take us to the hospital. She then followed up with genuine concern and asked how long we had been without power and offered for us to shower at her house if we needed a place with hot water. Power was only out for a few hours so we did not need to take her up on it, but I was impressed with her offering. Overall Beverly cares about her clients and makes you feel like you have her complete attention and care. I highly recommend hiring Beverly to be your doula.
