Testimonial for Heidi Duncan, CBD(CBI)
I've always known I wanted to hire a doula to attend my first birth. As a first time mom it was really important to me to have a support person other than my husband to guide us through the birthing process. From the instant I interviewed Heidi I felt a connection that was different from other doulas I had interviewed. She is such a warm person, very professional, and has a philosophy about birth that is evidence based and balanced. I was also very impressed with the many resources we had available to us through the EBB parent portal. We also attended her birth class which I would definitely recommend as it helped us (my husband especially) become much more confident going into labor and delivery. My husband is now a passionate advocate for EBB and doulas! As our due date grew closer, we were notified by the hospital that only one person would be able to attend the birth due to concerns over COVID-19. I was heartbroken because I had never anticipated being without Heidi! But she was with us every step of the way. She even came over to our house the day my water broke to go through some comfort measures, positions, and brought us some goodies to help us get through labor and delivery. She even lent us her peanut ball and we were so grateful as it was definitely the most used item during labor. During labor she checked in often via Zoom calls and communicated with my husband throughout my labor. What impressed me the most was that she was always two steps ahead of the L&D nurses in her recommendations. While it was not how I imagined, Heidi went above and beyond during difficult circumstances. She displayed such grace under pressure. I am so grateful and would definitely consider hiring her again. We love you Heidi, you blessed both of us and our sweet baby boy!
