Testimonial for Tonya Pearson CD(DONA)
Pregnancy is one of those life changing events with many emotions running for both parents. Being our first baby, my wife and I felt nervous, excited, a bit scared all not knowing really what labor would be all about. Because of this we felt a doula would help ease us through the process and have someone that does it for a living keep us calm and composed during birth. We had done some research and like anything theres many people offering doula services. To help us pick someone we got a real good reference from my wife's coworker and it turned out to be Tonya!
As soon as we met with her and talked with her my wife and I felt so at ease with her. She was always working with our birth plan and was very supportive of whatever we wanted to do. She would meet with us in person, at our home, and kept in contact with us throughout.
My wife's water broke at 3am on a Friday and she had everything ready to go and met us at the hospital within a couple hours ready to coach and supoprt us. Mind you she has children and her family and things to do but she is so organized and well planned that nothing interrupted her from coming which was great!
She took notes throughout the labor and got to take pics of some moments of our son's birth that wouldn't have been captured without her there. She stayed a long time after the baby was born with us and just made us feel very at peace and her words were very encouraging to my wife and I.
Anyone going through birth, especially their first child, we would highly recommend hiring a doula and you have to look no further than Tonya. She is very professional and easy to be comfortable around and like you have known her for a long time. Her prices are very fair and is with you throughout the whole labor no matter how long it is.
