Testimonial for Caellyn Everson, CD(DONA)
My partner and I will be forever grateful to Caellyn for the incredible support she provided during labor and postpartum. We both felt instantly at ease with her, and I trusted her implicitly. Caellyn was there every step of our 40 hour long labor and I'm sure that without her, I would have had a very different birth experience and recovery period. Not only did I lean on her emotionally, I literally leaned on her throughout, knowing that she could hold me and my process with reverence and respect. I was in awe of her endurance and ability to be absolutely present. Having her beside me gave me the courage to trust myself and my power as I stepped into the unknown that is birth and motherhood.
Caellyn helped me advocate for myself and stay connected to my values and wishes, which was especially important as we had to transfer to a hospital (which we had hoped to avoid). She also modeled and suggested ways for my partner to support me throughout labor and then gave us space to be together during this profoundly intimate, transformative time in our lives. Postpartum, Caellyn was there to listen, offer encouragement, and advice as I navigated new motherhood. The resources she shared with me were invaluable and helped me grow more confident as a mama while healing my body from a very intense labor.
I can't recommend Caellyn enough. She holds a special place in my heart, always, for being there during such a profound time in my and my family's life.
