Testimonial for Carling Sothoron
I was relieved to hear a dear friend tell me she had a doula she recommended because I dreaded the task of looking for one myself. My friend’s husband also recommended Carling which sold my husband on taking the plunge and hiring a doula. Carling was very helpful from the start, super flexible with times to meet, and regularly checked in with me about how things were going. She was a total rockstar when we got to the hospital and was doing double duty responsibilities because my husband had broken his collar bone the day before my induction! I think what impressed me most about Carling was her sensitivity to my feelings and her desire to hear about them especially when things got tough in the delivery room. She was behind me on all my decisions even when I changed my mind about medication. I really appreciated how she asked if I needed more time to make decisions while also immediately respecting my wishes, once I decided, without judgment. I was determined to have a VBAC and therefore so was Carling. Her presence was so calming and reassuring and I think it helped me to make it through our five hours of pushing! Thank you Carling for everything, we will never forget you and everything you have done for our family!
