Testimonial for Designated Doula
I worked with Mariam for the birth of our second child, a baby girl. I didn’t reach out to Mariam until I was 36 weeks pregnant because I am a procrastinator. And gosh, I wish I had known her longer and earlier in the pregnancy. After our first in-person consult to get to know each other I absolutely loved her. She was so easy to talk to and I was instantly comfortable around her, which was an absolute must for me in the delivery room. She is such a wealth of knowledge and experience. She offered her opinion anytime I asked a question and was generally so available and responsive. My original plan was to meet Mariam at the hospital after I labored at home as long as possible. My labor was fairly quick this second time around, but I didn’t want to believe it was moving so quickly. I am lucky Mariam came to my home to assess and encourage me it was 100% okay to go the hospital after only a few hours of laboring at home. Otherwise, if left up to me I think I would have waited far too late. Her calming presence and techniques took me from being worried to at ease in the hospital. Her being a part of our daughter’s birth made it a happier, even more joyful event tenfold. She truly loves being a doula and her enthusiasm and joy is contagious. I cannot recommend Mariam enough for first-time, second-time, anytime around mamas!
