Testimonial for Cheryl Murfin, MA/IAEd, CD
Hiring Cheryl was one of the best decisions I made for the birth of my baby. Her sense of humor, caring nature, knowledge, experience and ability to help in exactly the way I needed when I needed it were extremely helpful. From the times we met during my pregnancy, to the experience at the hospital and afterwards, she shines as a doula. Not only did she help me, but she also helped my husband help me. She has a great bag of tricks and techniques to use to help keep you calm, relaxed and moving through the labor and birth process with ease.
She also is great at advocating on your behalf during the decision making process at the hospital. I was two weeks late and had to be induced and she not only pointed me to resources to try to help me go into labor naturally (which unfortunately didn't work for me) but she walked me through the choices I had for the induction once I was at the hospital. She worked well with the nurses and doctors and helped me navigate through each decision I was faced with during induction, providing information on the pros and cons of each choice.
She helped me successfully achieve my goals of a having a positive, natural child birth experience.
Bottom line, Cheryl is an amazing doula. I would recommend her and in fact, already have several times.
