Testimonial for Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA)
When we found out we were pregnant, I knew that I would want a Doula, but I had no idea how to go about finding one. We found out about Marcia through a client of mine who had her as their Doula and raved about her. After meeting with Marcia, my husband and I knew that she would be the perfect fit to help us in our journey. Marcia was so attentive through the whole pregnancy, especially when I had a really bad time with anxiety and depression in my 2nd trimester. She gave us great ideas to work through and continued to give love and support to help me through that hard time. When it came to the big day, she was there every step of the way. She knew what our wishes were and helped make sure hospital staff aligned with our birth plan. She was a calming and strong presence that helped my husband and I through the whole delivery process. When our daughter was born, she wasn’t breathing and it was the most terrifying time of our lives. Marcia calmed our fears and reassured and consoled us until we were finally able to hear our baby cry for the first time. When we came home after delivery, it was a very exhausting and emotional time, and Marcia came over and walked us through life with a newborn and again calmed our anxieties and fears. She checked in regularly to make sure we were doing well, physically and emotionally. Throughout the entire pregnancy and delivery and postpartum process, she always gave nonbiased advice and offered great information so that we could make informed choices. We couldn’t have imagined doing this without her strength and love and support guiding us every step of the way. If you are unsure about hiring a Doula or which one to choose, I’m telling you right now Marcia is the best and she is worth every penny for the support and peace of mind she gives you. Bringing your child into this world is the most exciting (and sometimes terrifying) journey and there is no one better to walk this path with you than Marcia Mattern.
