Testimonial for Carissa Douglas
My husband and I had the fortune of having Carissa as our doula during my second birth. Carissa made us feel so safe and supported before and during my labour, and continued to give us such valuable and thoughtful support postpartum.
Carissa has an incredible intuition as a doula, allowing her to quickly understand what kind of physical and emotional support is needed without having to be asked. She held my hips during contractions in a way that really eased my pain, gave me little reminders and encouragement when I needed it most, and served as a strong advocate for mine and my parters’ needs. I feel that her, my husband and I truly made a wonderful team that has allowed me to look back at my labour with positivity and pride. We all adapted to some challenging and unexpected circumstances and Carissa was an integral part of helping me keep the core elements of my birth plan/desires despite those circumstances.
Carissa has also supported us postpartum with endless love and care. From caring after our newborn to allow my husband and I to nap during a postpartum visit, to proving constant support during an unexpected hospital stay, Carissa again provided us with what we needed the most during our most challenging moments. She was truly meant for birth work and would be an amazing asset to anyone’s birth.
