Testimonial for Alyson Mancini CD(DONA), BA Birth/Newborn Photographer
A friend of mine recommended Alyson after having her at the birth of her baby. She said we absolutely had to hire Alyson and there was no question that Alyson had made their experience a positive one. The next day I reached out to Alyson and after a brief meeting, my husband and I hired her to help us as well.
I was lucky enough to have a fairly easy pregnancy without complications but I had no idea how hard the labor and delivery would be for me. Though it was fast, it was extremely painful (even with an epidural) and having Alyson there to help me and comfort my husband and my mom was amazing- I don’t know how I would have managed without her.
The hospital was short staffed the night my son decided to arrive so having Alyson with us was incredibly helpful. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible and spoke up for me when necessary. She became a huge part of my birth experience and takes the extra step to connect with the families she supports.
I never thought I would need a doula and really didn’t want to build the extra expense into the baby budget but I can’t explain how glad I am that we did. Alyson is worth every penny and more! I know I would be looking back wishing we had hired her if we hadn’t. She provides a wealth of knowledge, a helping hand, various perspectives, sweet little gifts and will become your friend.
Thank you, Alyson, for helping me bring my beautiful baby boy into this world and sharing your love with my family!
