Testimonial for Hilary Witcher, PCD(DONA), CBS
Hilary is WONDERFUL. We had considered hiring a doula for the pregnancy and birth of our first baby, and as soon COVID-19 hit, we were certain we wanted (and needed!) the additional support. We were both so comfortable with Hilary during our initial zoom introduction call that we confirmed we wanted to work with her while on the call. Childbirth is perhaps the most personal thing that a couple goes through, and it was very important to use that we were comfortable with whoever we would be working with. Hilary is warm, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and has a great sense of humor. It is obvious Hilary is very passionate about what she does. The support and guidance she provided over the last two months of my pregnancy were invaluable. She helped us really think through what type of birth we wanted, and why. She provided resources and suggestions to educate ourselves, as well as various checklists to make sure we were prepared. We never felt judgement about our decisions, and she often said that she is just one of many resources we should use. She made herself available to us outside of our standard calls, and was constantly checking in. The unprecedented times of COVID-19 made it impossible for her to physically be with us at the hospital, but we still felt very supported.
We had only planned on having a birth doula, but day one postpartum we decided we wanted her continued support. For a few weeks we did social distant and virtual visits, then we started in-person support. I can’t say enough how much we have appreciate having her here, whether it is for information sharing and talking through baby questions, helping with light housework, going for walks, and just being here with us. She has become a friend. Hilary wants all of her mommas to feel supported, and she has arranged social distant meetups, Facebook groups and connections for all clients, past and present. My family cannot recommend Hilary enough.
