Testimonial for Hunter Moore, CD, CLC, CBE
Working with Hunter as our doula was one of the best things we did to prepare for the birth of our son. From our very first meeting we felt confident that her warm, personable support would help us meet our goals for a low intervention birth.
At 16 weeks I was extremely disappointed to find out I would likely be induced due to chronic hypertension. However, Hunter remained super positive and optimistic. She sent me encouraging words and resources to help me mentally prepare. As I entered my 3rd trimester and my health was still fine, she encouraged me to discuss all of my options with my midwives and to advocate for myself within safe boundaries. I’m so grateful for Hunter’s encouragement because it empowered me to have informed conversations and come up with a plan that felt safe while respecting my wishes and options.
At 39+2 my water broke and within an hour my labor came in fast and furious. Hunter communicated with us over the phone for about an hour, giving lots of great strategies to help me comfortably labor at home before joining us. She was encouraging to both my husband and I as I continued to labor and quickly progress at home. When I decided I needed to go to the hospital soon after, she trusted me. When I realized there was no way I could get in the car, she trusted me. Hunter was calm and poised and knew just what to do to support us in that unexpected moment. She continued to coach both my husband and me, and I truly felt safe in her hands during the scariest moments of my life. Thanks to Hunter, our baby boy was born healthy and safe at home. Once we finally made it to the hospital, Hunter continued to advocate our birth wishes despite all of the chaos. We are eternally grateful to Hunter for her confidence, knowledge and support. We will continue to recommend her to any birthing family we meet!
