Testimonial for Nathalie Grolleman CD/PCD(DONA) HCHD CVD (TVL) ICU nurse
We found Nathalie through By Your Side Birh Services. She was the doula on call at the time of my labor starting and we couldn’t be more pleased with having her as our doula. Our first meeting was when we were already at the hospital and, despite not having met prior to being at the hospital, we felt instantly comfortable with her. From the very beginning, she provided us with a sense of calm and was sensitive to both my husband’s and my needs and emotions througout the experience. She was so easy to talk to and she has a warmth about her that made us feel at ease. She offered suggestions for various techniques for pain control (e.g. counter pressure, positions, breathing strategies, etc.) and was very helpful and supportive in the decisions we had to make. She was with us for +24 hours during labor and was by my side the whole time. Just after the birth, she taught me how to get a good latch to breastfeed for the very first time. Since the birth, she has checked in with us and has been very responsive to text messages and phone calls and we had a very helpful postpartum visit soon after our daughter‘s birth. She has sent useful articles and videos and continues to be available for questions.
Nathalie is a very loving doula and it is clear how passionate she is about what she does. We feel very happy and lucky that she was part of our labor and birth experience. Thank you! Steph and Ben
