Testimonial for Heidi Duncan, CBD(CBI)

My husband and I talked a lot about what the birth of our first child would be like. We planned to take a birth class to try to prepare as much as possible but we hadn’t made any decisions yet about what options we wanted to pursue. I was referred to Heidi for her Alpha Childbirth class and upon meeting with her, we decided that we not only wanted to take the class but we also wanted to utilize her Doula services for my labor and delivery. Because Heidi was playing two roles, we combined our classes and pre-natal visits, which was great as we were able to “kill two birds with one stone”. I had the labor experience that I never would have thought possible for myself. From the start of my first contraction to my final push, my son was born in just under 5 hours. Everything happened so fast that Heidi wasn’t able to come to our house; we had to meet her at the hospital. She was there waiting for us when we arrived and in that final hour of labor, she was a tremendous help. Heidi knew just what to do, what areas to massage/apply pressure and she had the right words of encouragement at just the right times. Even though I’d imagined hours upon hours of labor with Heidi by my side, I would have done it all over again just to know that she would be there for that short hour. I highly recommend Heidi Duncan as a doula and would encourage all women to consider hiring a doula for additional support throughout your birth experience. What an amazing and special time giving birth is and to have a trained and certified professional there, totally dedicated to supporting you and your goals, can make your experience that much more positive.
