Testimonial for Alaska McFadden
Alaska was the best support a lady could ask for-- both over the course of my pregnancy and for the big day. As a single mom, it was REALLY important for me to find basically the world's most awesome doula.
As an über type-A planner, I hired Alaska as soon as I hit 12 weeks. Once we started our relationship, she went above and beyond our set appointments-- answering every single question I had for TWENTY SEVEN weeks. She always replied pretty much instantaneously to my questions, and pointed me to extensive resources, etc. when appropriate.For me, where Alaska shone even more (and I'm happy crying as I write this) was during my labor & delivery. Due to COVID + some unfortunate events the night of my birth, none of my hoped-for support people (family or designated friend) were able to be there for me. I literally found out one hour after my water broke that I had zero family or friends who could accompany me to or be with me in the hospital. This would have made for a seriously lonely & scary experience, BUT... Alaska was one thousand percent there for me the whole time. She came over to my apartment so I didn't have to start this journey alone. She kept me chill in throughout check-in and triage. Most importantly, she made my labor and delivery experience not only tolerable, but overall pretty darn cozy and magical.
To top it all off, I few days after I got home, Alaska presented me with a beautifully written (and hilarious accurate!) essay about her experience of my birth story <again, insert happy crying>. That will be such a memory to share with my little one when she's ready!
