Testimonial for Heidi Duncan, CBD(CBI)
From day one the experience and conversation with her was everything I needed (even if I didn't know it). Heidi was a blessing that I do not think I can put into words how thankful I am for her.
My daughter's birth was not at all what we hoped it would be. It was traumatic for everyone involved. But when I woke up from the chaos, she was there. Sitting by my side, hours after the actual birth (which was a long time). She was a constant amongst the chaos and a voice of stability as we all processed what had just happened. Even when things didn't go the way I wanted, she made me feel empowered and able to make a decision as best as anyone could in my situation. My daughter's birth may not have gone according to what I had hoped, but let me tell you this; Had it not been for Heidi as my doula, I do not know (nor do I want to think about) how much worse it could have been. When something seemed off she told me calmly what we could do about it. When someone crossed a line or said something I didn't understand she was there to step in and interpret.
From a business standpoint: She educated us, stood by us, and helped us navigate one of the most stressful and beautiful days of my life. If I had a question, no matter how small, she pointed me in the direction of factual information and never once made me feel dumb (which was a concern of mine when looking for a doula). Her pricing was lower than almost every other doula I found (she could rightfully ask for much more than she does).
From a personal standpoint: I am happy to say that my daughter and I are both happy and healthy to this day and I truly believe God gave me her as a Doula for a reason. Her presence provided mental stability that I don't think I even realized at the time how important it was. I will forever be grateful for her.
I do not feel like a review can cover everything. Reach out to her. Meet her. You will be grateful you did!
