Testimonial for Anastasia Garcia
Anastasia is an amazing doula!
The Process: We had a great introductory phone meeting where we shared values and goals of the pregnancy and delivery. I knew we would be a great fit based on her knowledge of birth and ability to listen to what my partner and I were hoping for in a doula. Prior to the delivery, we met with her to go over the birth plan. She came well prepared and answered all our questions. As most birth stories go, ours went nothing like we had planned (vaginal breech). We notified her right away that we were going to a new hospital over an hour away and she was right there by our side. On the day of we called her as we drove and she showed up at the hospital with a bag of supplies, energized, and ready to help. We had a post-partum follow-up where she continued to offer support and encouragement as I made the transitions into new motherhood.
Her Support: She was very attentive and listened to me as I expressed likes and dislikes during labor. She offered timely suggestions to make me comfortable and worked with the hospital staff to help me have a natural delivery. She stayed by my side for the entire delivery offering both me and my partner support when it was needed. She knew when to back off and when to push me to go further. She has a unique ability to read people and did an excellent job balancing all the emotions in the room. She gave us time as a couple to enjoy the process and was ready and willing when she was needed. She has a calming demeanor that was felt by everyone.
We couldn't be happier with having Anastasia as part of our story. She was a blessing to our experience and I would highly recommend reaching out to her. Thank you, Anastasia, for all your support!
