Testimonial for Landon Yakovleva Birth Doula, CLEC, CST Therapist
I reached out to Landon only a few weeks before I was due. I was due with my second child and originally I felt pretty confident without a doula. Closer to my due date, I started second guessing my decision and my husband was supportive either way, but wanted me to feel safe and confident during birth. I decided to hire Landon and it was the best decision I made. Even though we were fast approaching our due date, she made a 2+ hour trip to meet with my husband and I. We went over our birth plan and some other material she provided to make sure we could prepare for the birth we wanted. Fast forward to the day before our birth, she drove up again to be with us as my contractions became stronger and offered support, positioning and tips to make sure everything progressed like I wanted. At the hospital, she offered counter pressure during the intense contractions, ideas for positioning, and support for my husband when myself and husband weren’t really sure what to do! I spent a lot of time in the birthing tub but kept my body moving with her recommendations of different positions which made a huge difference. After delivery, Landon was there to help with breastfeeding, snacks, and support for us before she went home. She didn’t rush off like most Doula’s. She provided another follow up after we were home and getting settled to talk about breastfeeding and transitioning as our now family of 4! My husband and I truly feel a Doula makes a world of difference. The nursing staff at our hospital were incredible too, but they really focus more on charting for baby and myself and there are a lot of times they will leave for longer periods of time and that is when I would have felt a little lost with just my husband and I. Thank you Landon for your support and calm presence during my birth, it went as perfect as I had wanted in my labor and delivery!
