Testimonial for Rollyn Bornhorst
We are so glad we decided to work with a doula and Rollyn in particular! From the first meeting, Rollyn was so friendly and excited about our pregnancy and birth. She came to our house to talk through our expectations and desires, including helping us put together our birth preferences. We had planned to have a natural childbirth, but after finding out our baby was breech, we had a scheduled C-section. Rollyn was so helpful as we sought information about techniques for turning breech babies, including Webster chiropractic, moxibustion, and an External Cephalic Version (ECV). It gave us so much peace to have her help us process the emotions and information when we were facing a birth experience we didn't expect. Rollyn came with us to multiple appointments as we were figuring out what to do in the final few weeks of pregnancy when our baby was breech. During the intense ECV procedure, she provided support and helped us with relaxation techniques. She also came with us to the C-section and helped us prepare for the procedure emotionally/mentally. She was not allowed in the operating room, but she kept our parents informed about all that was happening in the prep and recovery room. She also took pictures of us with our newborn when we were all together in recovery, helped us verbally process our experience, and stayed with us until we were ready to have time with family only. Throughout the entire process of pregnancy and delivery, it was such a relief to know Rollyn was with us and there to help us plan and process all that was happening. She was so supportive and encouraging and she also was so excited about our baby once he was born! She was a calming presence who undersood what we needed and wanted and was committed to us throughout the whole experience. We would recommend to anyone - no matter what kind of childbirth you plan to have - to work with Rollyn as your doula!
