Testimonial for Terri Burleson

From the moment I met Terri, she had a warm, motherly energy, and I knew right away I wanted her as my doula.

About a month prior to my due date, Terri came to our home to discuss our birth plan and help us prepare for early labor. In the two weeks leading up to my due date, Terri was in daily contact with me to check in, see how I was feeling, and address any concerns I had. Once admitted to the hospital, Terri was with us within an hour after we got settled. My water broke prior to arriving and I was not having any contractions. She worked with me throughout the night to try to induce labor naturally with various techniques. She helped keep a calm environment in the room, and her nurturing touch kept me relaxed. 

As contractions became more intense, she continued to remind me of my strength and helped coach me through breathing. When I was terrified of my body beginning to push, she took me by the hands, looked me in the eyes and guided me through effective breathing. She helped me keep it together when I didn't think I could continue. I successfully achieved my goal of having an unmedicated birth and I don't think this would have been possible without Terri by my side. 

In the weeks following Terri visited our home twice to see how we were doing and provide support. She sent me an album of photos she took during labor and delivery that I hadn't even noticed she was taking. We also received a beautiful birth story in the mail with all the details leading up to my water breaking, labor, and the birth of our baby girl, many that I had forgotten. I will cherish these mementos forever.Terri was such an incredible light throughout this experience, and I will always feel a strong connection to her. If you're considering a doula, stop considering, and give Terri a call! She is a wonderful soul and you will not regret it.
