Testimonial for Colleen Myatt CD/PCD(DOÑA), CLC, PES, ICCE

We cannot say enough about everything Colleen did and continues to do for us. We decided to partner with Colleen after attending her Fetal Positioning class. From the start, we felt completely connected and comfortable with Colleen. Besides providing fact-based information on birth, she prepared us emotionally and physically for the birth. She listened to our concerns and questions and provided answers or directed us to the information. For example, we expressed concern about our Provider and Birth Facility. She offered a few referrals and suggestions. With her support, in week 36 we made a Provider and Birthing Facility change, which can be daunting. But we felt 100% confident in our decision and it was the best decision we made as our birth experience was almost exactly as we planned. The entire birth process was a beautiful and spiritual experience and Colleen was a major factor in us achieving the birth we envisioned. Her prenatal guidance, relaxation techniques, and emotional support facilitated a relatively short birth process. During birth, we consulted with Colleen on medical questions and she made sure we had all the information to make informed decisions and she supported and respected each decision we made. She provided a quiet relaxed atmosphere and when she sensed discomfort in Vicky, she provided soothing massages, rebozo movements and positioning techniques to facilitate labor progression and other techniques for comfort. She seemed to intuitively know what Vicky needed in each moment. She was also extremely respectful of my needs (as a Companion) and allowing Vicky and I to intimately experience the birth process as partners. And she continues to provide postpartum support and answers our questions. It is difficult to put into words how much Colleen’s knowledge, guidance, and overall support means to us. She was an integral part of our beautiful birth. Not only is she our Doula, but is now a friend and forever part of the family.
