Hunter was referred to us through a co-worker who informed us of doulas and their services as we were unfamiliar as first time parents. He and his wife had a fantastic experience, and knowing we wanted the birth process to be smooth as possible, we decided to have consultation. Immediately upon meeting Hunter, we recognized her warm and affable personality which put our minds at ease. Over the months leading up to Max's birth, we had several interactions including taking labor boot camp course and defining our birth plan. Throughout the process, Hunter was thorough in her explanations of what to expect and empowered mom and dad to make their own decisions - stressing there is no right or wrong.
When the time finally came, Hunter responded immediately and was by our family's side when we needed her most. She really shined during active labor and delivery, coaching and providing motivation to reach the end without feeling overwhelmed by her presence. The extra set of experienced hands was a major plus for dad as she knew where items were in the room and what to ask for from the staff. Another unanticipated benefit included Hunter capturing beautiful photos. When it was all said and done, Max arrived healthy without any surprises which we like to attribute to being informed parents. It goes without saying, but we cannot recommend Hunter enough! Having her as a support system made what can be a challenging situation much smoother.
