Testimonial for Autumn Duckworth
I was very satisfied with Autumn Duckworth as my doula! We loved her!! She was timely, and always available to answer any questions or talk on the phone. She had a lot of knowledge and experience and I felt so good in her care. When Autumn arrived at the hospital to support me (labor progressed quickly so I didn’t need her before that) she came fully prepared. She got right in to working with me and my husband and her presence just reassured me. She knew exactly what to say, and what to recommend, she was super helpful and put me at ease. I was so thankful for her experience and the confidence that she brought to my birth. She took the time to help hang encouragement cards in my room above the bed so I could look at them, she helped with the music, she hung up the lights I wanted in the bathroom to help with the harsh lighting, she had essential oils and and just always seemed to be one step ahead of me and what I might need. She recommended posittioning changes, massages techniques, cool rags,etc. Such a blessing! Toward the end of labor, just before pushing it was Autumn’s eye contact that really grounded me and helped me to hang in there. She helped me to breathe so I could work with the contractions. She has a powerful inner stength and she just kept reassuring me everything was going wonderful and I was doing amazing. I had chosen to do a VBAC and Autumn has experience with. I never once felt during the interviews or through the birth that she was nervous about it, even though at times I was. She even came back to the hospital when we were being discharged and showed up with a goodie bag full of treats and refreshments for our road trip home. She helped us navigate how to get out of the hospital and to our car. She was just an angel! My birth was such a beautiful and healing experience and I am so glad I chose to hire her! Thank you Autumn! We will never forget you.
