Testimonial for Dara DeSoto ,CD(DONA), CLEC, Licensed Midwife
We hired Joyful Roots in the early part of our pregnancy, pre-COVID, as we wanted a more personal and empathetic support system through pregnancy and birth than we felt we could get just from our medical provider. We are so grateful to both Joy and Dara, who provided this and more. Their client portal was incredibly useful with so many great resources for us to read and learn more about the journey we were on. As first-time parents, it can often feel like there is an overwhelming amount of information and resources available. While a lot changed over the course of our pregnancy due to COVID, Dara and Joy were flexible and remained an unwavering source of support and encouragement, even as services were done virtually. We are so grateful for the noon Zooms that connected us with other expecting families. Even though hospital restrictions prohibited Dara from being with us at the hospital, she did come over to our house to labor there as much as we could before we left for the hospital. She stayed in contact with us through our labor and delivery at the hospital as well as was available for breastfeeding support in the days after birth. Thank you Joy and Dara, we are so grateful to you!
