Testimonial for Hilary Witcher, PCD(DONA), CBS
Hilary has played a crucial role in my transition into motherhood! When I reached out I heard back that same day! From our very first meeting, it was clear to me that Hilary was the perfect fit for our family! She's really easy to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable, and so passionate about doula work! She answered countless questions and always did so promptly, going above and beyond, sending resources and ensuring any doubt or concern you have is eased. As my due date approached, I had complications and Hilary was very reassuring and did everything she could to keep me calm. Although my goal was to have an unmedicated birth, I had to be medically induced and ended up requesting an epidural. Before the epidural, Hilary and my husband helped me manage the pain in numerous ways. She knew so many techniques and continuously changed things to keep me as comfortable as possible. Once I was medicated, she stayed with us and made sure I was hydrated and prepared for the delivery of my baby. Hilary was my cheerleader and did a fantastic job coaching me through the delivery of my son. She took beautiful photos and captured my son’s birth. Hilary was able to take a scary and unexpected birth and make it peaceful and one that I will always think of fondly! I feel so blessed to have had Hilary as my postpartum doula as well! She was able to help me process my birth story in the weeks that followed. She’s one of the few people I trust to watch my baby boy while I take a nap. She always found ways to lighten our load and it was wonderful to have someone to chat and laugh with! Due to COVID, we had to cut our in-person time together short. However, she instantly set up virtual ways of supporting me! She started a virtual mom’s group which is the highlight of my week! Although she hasn’t been able to be with me in person, she has been just as present as before via video, calls and texts! It honestly feels like she’s part of our family!
