Testimonial for In Joy Birth Collective
While I am certain my words of affirmation will fall short of expressing the true depths of love and gratitude I have for Heather and Alyssa, here I go...
Having these amazing women in our corner was a game changer! I was originally indifferent to getting a doula when my wife expressed interest, but was happy to go along with the idea and figured the extra support couldn't hurt. Let me just tell you - we got so much more than just some extra support! We got educators and guidance, we got advocates and a sense of safety, we got encouragement and reassurance, we got referrals and connections to a community of helpers, and at the end of the day, we got friends. Alyssa and Heather are brilliant and the very best at what they do. In the months and days leading up to birth, I knew we could call or text anytime with any questions or concerns we might have (and we did!). When it was show time, Heather showed up at our house and didn't leave our side for the next 21 hours. She coached and supported my wife through labor, and she allowed me to be the emotional support I needed to be. I felt completely confident the entire time that Heather would keep us safe and would make sure our birth experience was the amazing, beautiful experience it was. I am forever grateful for In Joy, for Heather and Alyssa. Without them, I am certain we would not have had the wonderful birth experience we did.
And then, the post partum care! Heather didn't leave our side until we were settled and had a good latch going. For the next days and weeks Heather was never more than a text or call away. She came over, she helped us get our sea legs, she brought us dinner, she made us feel like we weren't losing our minds!
I'll forever sing the praises of these women. Forever.
