Testimonial for Cheryl Murfin, MA/IAEd, CD
Cheryl's role in the weeks leading up to, the birth, and months after our daughter was born was the rock we so steadily held onto. She guided us through not only physical preparation but also emotional every step of the way. Our birth plan was to have a natural/unmedicated birth. Due to complications in the final weeks of my pregnancy we ended up needing to be induced. That process lasted four days before more complications lead us into the OR for a c-section. Cheryl was present for every moment, guiding my birth team to aid in pain relief all those days, including a great deal of emotional pain. She kept a strong spirit and hopes for us as we attempted so strongly for the birth we desired. In the end, that is so important for me to honestly believe that I did everything I could to have a vaginal birth. Without Cheryl's experience and expertise I don't know that I would have been able to exhaust every possibility for that to be true. Our support from Cheryl continued even after coming home and she was again so very helpful in getting us settled, lactation support, and processing our birth story. She has been a true blessing in our lives and I will forever be grateful for the gifts that she has given me. Her calming words, incredible knowledge, and strong spirit pull together a woman I truly admire.
