Testimonial for Nicole Sawyers Todd, CLD, CPPD, HCHD, CHCE, SM
I recently had my first child and I always knew I wanted the support of a birth doula as I was nervous about the birth process (and there is encouraging research about birth outcomes when a doula is involved). I did all I could to prepare with books, classes, and podcasts, however having nicole as support through birth and leading up to birth for both me and my husband (and my extremely anxious mother who was at the hospital with us) was truly invaluable. She met with us multiple times to discuss birth preferences, create a plan and discuss options / scenarios that I was curious and nervous about. She worked with us to prepare for birth by going over and practicing labor and birthing positions and other techniques to help with the baby’s positioning for birth. When my due date came and went nicole was there to support my rising anxiety and discomfort by providing extra support and unbiased information during that time leading up to an induction at 42 weeks. Overall I cannot say enough about how helpful it was to have Nicole and we highly recommend her for all of your birth/postpartum doula needs.
