Testimonial for Darcy Sauers PCD(DONA), CLC
My husband and I had done a ton of reading and attending classes before our little boy was born, but once he came, we found ourselves totally overwhelmed at times with new questions and concerns. My husband stayed home for 2 weeks, but then went back to work, and we didn't have many immediate family members in the area. We had never known about post-partum doulas until a friend recommended Darcy. She was an absolute GODSEND! She was so knowledgeable, validating, patient, and kind when we REALLY, really needed it. When she first came to help us, she provided tons of information and also connected us to area resources that we didn't even know existed (and I was a reseacher!). She answered all of our questions about our baby's sleeping and eating patterms, helped us get some sleep ourselves, and listened to all of our concerns and worries. She also helped us learn to take care of ourselves, too, in the midst of a very wonderful (but tiring and stressful) time in our lives. To this day, we have continued to contact Darcy with new concerns that have arisen. My friends and family call her the baby whisperer!
It is also worth noting that Darcy is extremely sensitive to the state that new mom's are in. I definitely emailed or called her in moments of desperation, and she was always willing to listen and extend her expertise. She has been an amazing part of our parenting experience, and we would both recommend her extremely highly to anyone!
