Testimonial for Juanita Harris CD(DONA)
I highly recommend Juanita as a birth and postpartum doula. Me being an experienced doula myself, I had very high standards and expectations. I knew exactly what I wanted support wise and I'm so grateful for Juanita and her experience. She was able to support me all throughout my birth and postpartum.
I'm thankful that she was able to help me navigate multiple, really difficult situations. I appreciate how she walked me through things so I could identify what I really wanted and encouraged me to advocate myself and my baby. She reminded me of my options but did not push me or try to make me choose anything based on her personal feelings or beliefs. I appreciate that she was available to support me in a hospital or homebirth environment and fly to me as we dont live in the same state. She always replied and stayed in communication well even though we are in different time zones. It is also great that she could support during birth and postpartum. She was great help to my whole family even helping with my older children. My husband was great support and he felt confident about the birth but was happy to have a her on our team as well. He said he liked that she had a virtual doula support option if he needed it even though he didnt end up needing it.
In addition, as a black woman, I'm grateful Jaunita was sensitive to the difference in care that black women often receive and I'm grateful for her cultural competency. I truly appreciate her patience and her experience.
I would say no matter which path you choose, home or hospital, medicated or unmedicated, Juanita has a rare trait to be able to support all different family choices without judgement. She is definitely worth the investment, an absolutely great doula all the way around. I can not recommend Juanita enough.
