Testimonial for Joanna Guzman
I usually don't write reviews but this was a must! I always pictured myself having a baby but when the day actually came, I was in shock, partially because I knew nothing of the journey that was up ahead. I knew I needed guidance but didn't know where to start. When I met with Joanna at Brave Birth, I was surprised at how much information she offered me. My labor was painful yet she was there for me every step of the way helping me cope with the pain and soothing my every need. Now I cant imagine going through another pregnancy without a doula. She was knowledgeable, gave me advice and gave me so much physical and emotional support. She really was outstanding! I'm so grateful she was by my side. I mean from aroma oils to massages to Tens machine, etc, just everything was so helpful. I would've gone crazy without any of it! Thinking back, I seriously would've been so lost if she didn't coach me through everything even simply understanding what the nurses were telling me. Joanna not only assisted me, she also helped calm my mother's nerves. My mom tends to be erratic when anxious and she knew the right things to do and say to help my mom, which then again helped me calm down. She also taught my partner massages, which he didn't do as well as she did but it was good enough to soothe the pain. Lol I even fell asleep in between my contractions which I thought was merely impossible! It really was such a great experience because of her and I recommend using a doula especially Joanna to anyone and everyone. It is definitely worth it!
