Testimonial for Mary Norby CD(DONA)
Mary was an important part of our birth team and our birthing experience.
In the months leading up to the birth of our daughter, Mary met with us and discussed with us our wishes for our birth and any concerns we had. She asked good questions that helped us prepare for birth and she was an excellent resource for every question we had. Her support helped us enter our birth with confidence.
On the day our daughter was born, Mary helped us through every moment of labor and delivery. She guided us through different movements during labor, and made sure that we always felt safe and confident in our decisions. It was as though she could sense exactly what we needed, whether that was to change positions, or to have a few moments together to prepare for what was to come next. After our daughter was born, Mary was able to capture some of my husband’s first moments as a father on my camera all the while making sure I was comfortable and breastfeeding. It was amazing.
Mary’s support continued as I encountered several health challenges in the month following my daughter’s birth. It was comforting to have Mary’s continued presence during that time and she was always just an email or phone call away.
I give Mary my strongest recommendation as a birth doula. Her presence and support was an important part of our positive birth experience and in our transition into parenthood.
