Testimonial for Donna Rigert
From the moment I met Donna, I had such an incredibly good feeling and I knew in my heart and gut that this was a great doula match for us. She is a warm, caring and also practical and sensible person, as well as having a calming influence. This is a great balance especially for me as I have a tendency to worry and think ahead of the hypotheticals sometimes. From the lead up time to my due date and also the days after my due date when I was just waiting to go into labor, Donna was available and supportive to lend an ear and to help keep me calm. The evening I went into labor and from the time she arrived at the hospital she was so present and in the moment and I know both my partner and my mother found her to be a great and positive influence in the room. We thought of her as our birth cheerleader. I honestly can say that we found her to be an incredible person to share our most intimate and special moments with. It felt natural and comfortable to have her there as though she was part of the family and as though we knew her for years. She is definitely a kindred spirit. She had great techniques and tips to help with contractions and labor and she also worked well with the hospital and midwife staff. I think Donna would be a great doula especially for a first time mother.
