Testimonial for Heather McCullough CPM, Hypno, CAPPA Faculty CLE, CLD, CPD
Our pre-natal visits were very thorough and informative, and we really felt like she wanted to get to know my husband and I if she was going to give us her best while on this journey with us. As my due date approached and then passed, I worked in tandem with Heather and my doctor to make the right decision for what was to come. I eventually went into labor on my own, and Heather helped me fulfill my goal of staying home as long as I could manage the pain. She also provided an invaluable skill - she was able to examine me to see if I had much I had dialated, and was able to confirm that I was in fact, in labor. When we got to the hospital, she was helpful in the best possible way - she was there when we needed her and she knew when to step back as well. Ultimately, I needed to have a C-section, a decision which she respectfully and kindly supported. She was also there for my husband with emotional support and medical knowledge during the whole thing. But what I think was the defining moment in the whole birthing experience, is when I finally made it to the recovery room with my newborn, after having been in labor for 18 hours, and reeling from a particularly uncomfortable surgery that I did not plan for, was when Heather helped me get colostrom into my baby's mouth. I was pretty immobile and out of it from the drugs, but Heather basically climbed into bed with me and squeezed my breast into my baby's mouth. Now that is dedication! She helped create a moment - perhaps one of the most important moments in a new mother's life - that I may not have otherwise had without Heather. And for that, I will always be eternally grateful. Heather is a consummate professional and incredibly skilled doula and I couldn't recommend her enough!
