Testimonial for Midwest Doulas- Doulas, Placenta Encapsulation
Justine and the team were everything I hoped for (and more) in a doula. I was hesitant about a doula in general, due to the cost, but decided to go for it because I was a scared first time mom. I am SO GLAD I did. We chose Justine as our doula (after interviewing a few) because it’s obvious she’s incredibly passionate and dedicated to her work. Additionally, she’s nonjudgmental and provides evidence-based information. She impressed me throughout the entire process.
Pre-labor: Justine stayed in regular contact and was super responsive to all my questions. She reassured me when my issues were normal and sent me evidence-based resources for questions. She had a knack for sensing my needs. For example, she made some recommendations that I initially wasn’t interested in. After I thought about them more, I changed my mind and they ended up being exactly what I needed (Hypnobabies and Willow Midwives). Justine’s guidance was especially helpful during COVID-19 because she had her finger on the pulse of what was happening with other providers in the metro. Ale did one of our prenatal visits and we adored her too. If we had decided to get postpartum services, we would have loved working with her more.
Labor: Justine’s presence at my birth was PRICELESS. I felt like I was losing control with contractions and when she walked in, she was able to get everything back on track. She asked my providers for assistance when she thought I needed it. Justine supported my husband too. She knew my birth plan and helped me achieve it. She knew the exact right things to say to me and was so calming. She was an unbelievable coach, especially during pushing. Justine was truly with us every step of the way during labor, which is so great when other staff are switching shifts. She was our anchor. I felt extremely well cared for with her there. My husband wholeheartedly agrees.
