Testimonial for Alaska McFadden
Alaska was a tremendous support during my late pregnancy, labor and delivery.
From the moment we first spoke with her, we knew that she was the right doula for us -- she had a warm, upbeat, approachable and knowledgeable attitude. We appreciated that she had an inclusive and multi-modal approach.
During our pre-natal visits, Alaska shared a lot of information and resources to help us prepare for the big day. I really liked her emphasis on the words that we use to describe the labor and delivery experience -- during my own labor, my relationship to the intensity changed when I stopped moaning and saying "yes" instead. Alaska brought so many supports during my long labor -- acupressure, aromatherapy, heat, cool, peanut ball, snacks. Her good humor and energy was a huge support to my husband too.
More importantly, she also made sure I always fully understood what was happening and the implications. Because of that, even when things didn't go according to plan, I was able to make informed and empowered choices. As a result, I feel extremely positive about my birth experience and I credit Alaska for making that possible. Even now, weeks after delivery, Alaska has been a trusted go-to resource for my questions and concerns. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
