Testimonial for Hannah Woods
Hannah was our Doula for the birth of our first boy in October. While I was not looking for an all natural birth, since our families are out of town, and my husband does not do well in hospital settings, we knew we wanted to have an extra support person on our team. We interviewed three doulas in person before we officially hired Hannah. We felt at ease and confident in her abilities after our fist in-person meeting wither her, and knew that personality wise she was a great fit for us. She is very knowledgeable, non-judgemental, and patient answering in answering our many questions and then some. We wanted our birth environment to be calming but also light hearted, and Hannah was just that.
My birth was VERY long, and emotional. After being induced, and laboring for 38 hours our birth journey ended in a C-Section. Hannah was right along side us all the way. She went above and beyond to make sure that we understand each step of the process, and was such a big support not only for myself but for my husband as well.
During my laboring, Hannah was very present with me and worked with me to be as comfortable as possible, coaching me all the way. She also worked well with all of the nurses and our OBGYN. She was great at asking questions that we maybe did not know to ask, and helping us talk through options so we could make the best decisions possible for our wants/needs. While our birth did not go as planned, we were bursting with gratitude that we had such an incredible team there with us during the process. Both my husband and I agree that we could not have gotten through this without Hannah's support and guidance. Her services are invaluable and we will most definitely hire her again if we decide to have another baby in the future!
