Testimonial for Cherish Perez CD(DONA),CLE, CBE
My wife (Jessica) and I have interviewed a few doula's prior to meeting Cherish and about 5 minutes into our first meeting with Cherish, we knew she was the one! Cherish is a natural and has that natural instinct for wanting to help mothers & fathers to be. She did a really good job preparing Jessica and I for labor, went over our birth plan, rushed to our home during labor and helped Jessica with most-things post partum. She even baked Jessica lactation cookies! Cherish helped us tremendously and we don't know how we could've done any of it without her.
The 2 prenatal visits we had were a great learning experience. Cherish used them to get to know us, know our birth plan, showed us positions to help cope with pain, breastfeeding techniques and much more. During labor (1 wk early), Cherish was very responsive via text and calls and once she knew our contractions were fairly close, she came to our home. She helped with the bath, doing exercises on the birth ball, massages, packing the hospital bag and calming both of us down! Once at the hospital, she was attentive to both of us but especially my wife. She kept encouraging my wife, massaged her, gave her water to stay hydrated and took pictures. Cherish stayed with us until we were settled with our baby!
We had 2 post partum visits but we were constantly texting once we were home. She answered all of our questions and concerns with compassion and empathy. Her visits were helpful, informative and inspiring! Cherish is an awesome doula and I would use her again in a heart-beat. She's a natural and has the right personality for it. I also think she would make an awesome post partum doula as well:)
Cherish brought experience, knoweldge, a sense of family & security and we highly recommend her.
Thank you Cherish!
