Testimonial for Cara Crowe
I struggled as a first time mom to know what I really needed from a doula. After going through birth and my "fourth trimester" with a doula, I have learned that experience, understanding and passion are key considerations for those looking to work with a doula. Cara clearly has those qualities to offer in abundance. What does that look like? The best way I can sum it up is like this: When I worked with her for postpartum care, it was most impressive to me to see how connected she was, not only with me and my baby, but also her former clients even after birth (and for some years later). To me, that spoke volumes about how Cara views her work.
Cara has all of the adjectives you may expect to ascribe to a doula - she's experienced, knowledgable, compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgemental. But she also has intangible skills that you may only notice once you work with her- like her intuitive nature to know what you need even before you do and a kindness and empathy that keeps you calm in moments of emotion or stress. As a first time mom, I looked to her for advice on just about everything. I asked her (likely thousands) of questions and she always had thoughtful suggestions and and ideas ready at hand. I know -- without a doubt -- that my family is thriving today because of the wonderful care and thoughtfulness Cara put into her work with us.
Even in this pandemic, Cara has been so thoughtful on how to provide virtual support to empowers you to have the birth you envision. Now more than ever, I think a doula's knowledge and expertise can really shape your birth experience.
Bottom line: Cara is special! Her range of experiences gives her rare perspective and I feel lucky to have worked with her.
