Testimonial for Holly Rogalski
We hired Holly as our doula after being referred to her by a trusted friend. We interviewed two other doulas, and we knew immediately upon meeting Holly that she was the one for us. She is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. She put us at ease with her great personality, sense of humor, and extensive experience as a labor doula and a mother of three.
It was important to us to find a doula who would help us stay informed of our options, but respect whatever decisions we ultimately made. Holly did just that. While I know she certainly must have very strong opinions of her own, she objectively and respectfully helped us navigate our own decision-making process and arrive at choices that worked best for us.
During labor and delivery, Holly's assistance was invaluable. She helped me cope with my pain by providing both emotional and physical support. She assisted my husband in comforting me, and reassured him that he was doing a great job. She helped us deal with the unexpected, informing us of our options at every stage, and giving us the confidence we needed to make decisions in circumstances that might otherwise have been overwhelming. Due to the circumstances surrounding my delivery and the doctor who happened to be on call that night, I feel certain I would have ended up with a cesarean were it not for Holly. She interacted with hospital staff in a professional and effective manner, and communicated our needs and desires to them while minimizing any distractions that might have taken my mind off the task at hand. She was the woman behind the curtain, pulling strings and quietly making everything work correctly, yet allowing us to be the stars of the show. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone seeking insight, knowledge, support, and encouragement throughout their pregnancy, labor, and delivery. She's the best!
