Testimonial for Terri Burleson
We could not have made a better decision than asking Terri Burleson to join us as our doula for the adventure of birthing our son. From the moment we "met" Terri via phone, we felt a connection and her warmth radiated. We made the decision pretty instantly and have been grateful ever since. Terri checked in multiple times throughout my pregnancy as well as met us in our home to talk about our goals, getting to know us more intimately and providing us with several resources to support preparation for labor and delivery. On the night that my contractions started, Terri was the first to know and she and my husband checked in frequently. Terri was with us by phone and then in person, remaining calm, helping us cope, and offering us confidence. Throughout my 20 hours of labor, Terri was a rock for my husband and myself, providing us comfort and information, particularly at the hospital. She made me feel as though I had a voice and could advocate for myself, especially when my baby's heart rate dropped at different times and doctors wanted to pump me with several different medications. She made sure to slow things down so that we were able to make the right choice for our family. During this entire process, Terri quietly documented everything and following delivery of our son, shared an entire library of photos with us, including the birth (we had provided consent)! Terri's love and support did not stop there, she checked in daily following delivery and has visited us in our home. On Valentine's Day we received the most precious gift- a multiple page letter addressed to our son from Terri, documenting his birth story. Throughout this entire process, we never felt judged or pushed by Terri, and instead felt as though from the start, she respected and believed in our choices for this incredible journey. Terri will always be a part of our lives and we were so grateful to have found her to join us on what was the most vulnerable and amazing experience of our lives!
