Testimonial for Caellyn Everson, CD(DONA)
I highly recommend Caellyn for any of your doula needs. Caellyn exceeded all of our expectations and delivered in ways I couldn't have imagined. For instance, my baby was breech at 32 weeks and Caellyn responded with an immediate house visit to teach me positions for encouraging babies to flip, sharing web-based and local resources to satisfy my desire to do everything possible in pursuit of a natural vaginal birth. I am ecstatic to say that it (something of the many things we did) worked as baby was head down by week 38. Caellyn was so involved in the weeks leading up to labor with kind, thoughtful text check-ins and same day responses to my email inquiries. She was incredibly supportive when we were informed that I needed to be induced. She showed up at the hospital as soon as was requested and was everything I needed and more. It was wonderful that she knew the staff (at Swedish First Hill). She was so comfortable in the room among the other providers making sure that I had what I needed at every turn. Her toolbox seemed endless during labor. She brought physical items of great use (e.g., different scented oils that I wouldn't have anticipated wanting but then did); she led positioning with gentle direction for my husband; and she brought strength with her calm words of encouragement and unwavering eye contact that I desparately needed to hold our baby inside me until I was ready to push. Caellyn's postpartum care was equally wonderful, including her expertise in the breastfeeding department. I am so grateful for Caellyn, her kindness, her professionalism, her wisdom, her energy, and sense of humor.
