Testimonial for Terri Burleson
Terri is an amazing doula. My husband and I couldn't be happier we hired her. She exudes warmth and empathy from the moment you meet her. She has so much knowledge and experience and is so open. Leading up to the birth I felt so much more comfortable emailing and texting her with questions than I did even our midwives. I tried to hire the best doula I could find, and believe I was extremely successful. The labor came on extremely hard when it started. Terri came down in the middle of the night to our home to help us through it. She was the picture of perfect calm and support, and stayed that way over more than the next 24 hours. She introduced a hip press that made so much difference in the level of pain I was feeling, and she and my husband continued to do that throughout my 22 hours of labor, during nearly every contraction. She gently coaxed me into many different positions, and had a lot of ideas I had never heard or thought of. Her photos were taken very discreetly, and most of the time I never noticed she was taking them. After the birth I had complications with my placenta and had to transfer to the hospital ER. It was a tough time but Terri came with me while my husband had to stay at the birth center with our son. She continued to be a calm and empathetic support, and I can't say how glad I was to be able to look over to the side and always see her friendly face. Terri was able to text my husband and keep him up to date on everything happening and helped him and our baby come meet me in the hospital room. It was 1am before they arrived, and Terri stayed with me the entire time. Her visit to our home afterward was so thoughtful and helpful, and really encouraged me. I also love the birth story she wrote for our son. She notes details I had no idea about or forgot completely. I would not hesitate to recommend Terri as a doula to anyone and everyone. You won't regret it.
