Testimonial for Terra Peterson Jonker CD(DONA)
For my first delivery experience I was determined to have the support of a doula and was really nervous and uncertain how I would handle everything. We interviewed several doulas, but landed on Terra right away. Her warm, calm, cheerful personality was EXACTLY what I was looking for and the way she talked about helping create a feeling of safety and trust with her clients really resonated with me. My labor and delivery was in many ways the polar opposite of what I'd been hoping and planning for due to sudden and rapidly escalating preeclampsia, but Terra helped me stay calm, was there with me in the hospital over 24 hours continuously and I firmly believe was a huge reason I was never really scared or in significant pain and was able to take ownership of the dwindling amount of choices I had left. Not only did Terra take exceptional care of me, she was simply wonderful for my husband who is on the autism spectrum and we were worried would find staying with me and supporting me really challenging. Our beautiful little boy is nearly 18 months now and we still talk regularly about how special Terra helped make our delivery journey. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her enough.
