Testimonial for Mitzi Gerber
I have had the huge pleasure of having Mitzi Gerber as my doula for both my pregnancies - a decision I would make again in a heartbeat! She is an amazing calming presence in labour, who is also so well educated and experienced. With her by my side, I felt safe, supported and at ease. I credit Mitzi and her techniques to be the reason why I did not need any medical intervention or pain relief in my first (hospital) labour, and my second labour - a home water birth!
Mitzi's thorough and knowledgeable support begins during her clients' pregnancies. If I had concerns and I needed an unbiased and clear-headed opinion, I was always able to confide in Mitzi to gain some grounding perspective. Having her support eased my stress and helped me feel empowered. Mitzi also provides great educational tools during pregnancy, that helped both my husband and I feel more prepared for handling a baby once he arrived!
When it came time for the big event (or even false alarms!), Mitzi was very responsive, clear with what could be expected, and calming. She was always our primary support, regardless if we were attended by doctors, nurses, or midwives. Whether my first experience in the hospital, or my second at home, her support always felt seamless and exactly what I needed at any given time. Her cues, reminders and techniques provided great relief and allowed me to labour in the way my body needed.
Finally, the post-labour support Mitzi provides is priceless. I love that she comes back for a visit after the baby arrives to recap on how everything went and answer any questions that pop up. She helps provide emotional closure on the labour that was experienced - and that is what I find so therapeutic.
I am beyond grateful to have had Mitzi as my doula for both my pregnancies and births. I strongly believe that she is the reason I had such amazing experiences. My husband and I cannot thank her enough!
