Testimonial for Patrycja (Patty) Drozd CD(DONA)
Patty is my hero! This is my first pregnancy and I decided to have a home birth. Glad I did because my baby was born during the Covid-19 Pandemic. My midwife said I needed a Doula since I was a first time mom. So I searched for a Doula and the reviews on Patty caught my eye. Everyone was saying how great she was with pain management. And I new that's what I needed if I was ever going to have a baby with no meds! My husband and I met with Patty and we knew we didn't need to look any further. She had a very warm approach and we could tell she was passionate about what she does. Skip forward to the the delivery day. Patty was available when I needed her most. I went from early labor to active labor really fast and Patty arrived just in time. If I didn't have her I probably would have wanted to go to the hospital to get drugs. I was supposed to have a water birth but I got out the pool because I was uncomfortable. Patty put me in a great position in the bed and helped me breath through the contractions. She had a nice calm voice reminding me to breathe the baby down and this helped keep me calm. About an hour later I gave birth to our son Jeremias. Unfortunately my husband and I called the midwife a little late and she was an hour away. So the baby came before she arrived, which was 5 minutes later. However we did not worry, Patty was very calm and helpful, we had the midwife on the phone, and my husband caught the baby! Wow what an amazing experience and I couldn't have got through this without my awesome Doula. If I have a second child I will definitely hire her again.
