Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
Working with Justine and her team at Midwest Doulas was a wonderful experience. As first time parents, we appreciated Justine's calm, confident energy and her depth of knowledge. She had honest answers for any question we had, often backed up with research or additional resources, which helped us be even more confident in our choices and decisions. She is also extremely well connected and had a referral from within her professional network ready for any service we were looking for or that she recommended.
At the end of my pregnancy, we learned that the natural childbirth I had planned was not an option and I needed to have a c-section. I was very disappointed when I first received this news and anxious about the surgery, but Justine was there to support me emotionally and made sure I knew all of my options going into the birth to make it as empowering and comfortable as possible.
Despite not being able to participate in our birth the way I had envisioned, having Justine there during the procedure was invaluable. She was a calming presence, explaining what was happening, providing comfort measures for me and my husband, and ensuring our new birth plan was honored as much as possible. She also played photographer and captured amazing photos of my daughter's birth. After the birth, Justine checked-in frequently and was again ready to support and assist when we encountered breastfeeding challenges.
I'm grateful we chose Midwest Doulas to be part of our birth experience, and I would highy recommend them to anyone!
