Testimonial for Alaska McFadden
From the first phone call with Alaska I felt an immediate sense of relief, that she was a person whose knowledge and compassion would help carry me through my pregnancy and childbirth. Besides the lengthy and packed-full prenatal visits, she was incredibly present to address our questions throughout, particularly as I was navigating the process of changing care providers and shifting birthing paradigms from a planned hospital birth to a planned home birth. She was so supportive in aiding me through that decision, and her confidence in me fueled my own confidence. During the actual birthing night, her fuel was quite simple and enourmously effective: sitting solidly at my feet with her hands placed on my knees for hours, softly guiding my breath and holding the silence, anticipating exactly when I needed a sip of a drink or a warm towel for my shoulders. A few days after the birth, Alaska stayed on a video call with my partner and I for hours in the middle of the night offering breastfeeding support and calming us as we tried to calm our beloved crying baby. She's a wonderfuly intuitive and dedicated person, powerful, funny, present. I feel very lucky to have had her a part of my birthing experience.
