Testimonial for Mariah Falin, CD(PALS), PPD, PES
Mariah was amazing! My husband and I weren't sure if a doula was right for us after interviewing another individual; however, we decided to talk with Mariah before completely ruling out having a doula participate in our first labor experience, and I am SO glad that we did.
We had two meetings prior to delivery where we could ask questions and really get to know Mariah and her support style - and also help her get a feel for our individual personalities and what we would need from her when the time came. But more importantly, it really helped us feel as prepared as we could be for the birth experience. It was so nice to have somebody that we could reach out to with questions at any time of the day and not feel silly for asking them (and I feel like we had a lot of questions), especially when labor started.
Mariah was calm and supportive throughout the entire delivery and made both me and my husband feel like we were in control of our experience. Mariah did an in-home visit a day or two after our baby was born and helped me work through some nursing challenges, which has since led to a very fulfilling bond with my baby during feedings. I absolutely recommend Mariah and when the time comes for Baby #2, you can bet she'll be hearing from us again. Thank you, Mariah! You are wonderful!
