Testimonial for Nathalie Grolleman CD/PCD(DONA) HCHD CVD (TVL) ICU nurse
I highly recommend Nathalie as a doula. I decided to hire a doula after learning my husband likely would not be able to attend the birth of our first child. During my doula search Nathalie's profile stood out immediately, not just because of the high number of positive ratings, but also because of her background as a nurse. I wanted to be sure the woman I selected respected medicine and the medical community, as I have read horror stories about doulas who disdain doctors and shame women who use medication during childbirth. Happily, I discovered Nathalie is non-judgemental, and is all about respecting the mother and her choices.
As promised, Nathalie was very responsive throughout my pregnancy. She checked in with me after doctor's appointments, and was available for video chats as well. When I had medical issues, she provided practical advice in addition to moral support. After I was induced, Nathalie came the next morning and was present for the entire period of my active labor, even though it was her own birthday! I ended up giving birth at 2 AM (after 30 hours), and Nathalie was there providing support and encouragement throughout (and taking wonderful photos!). If I get pregnant again I will definitely be looking to bring Nathalie back!
