Testimonial for Juanita Harris CD(DONA)
SHE IS AWESOME. The best money you will spend. Juanita is knowledgeable, calming and everything a doula should be. Shes amazing and God made her to do this work. It’s breath taking looking back at how amazing and instrumental she was in my late pregnancy and then my daughters birth.
Juanita and I met at Panera 6 weeks prior to my birthing time. She was lovely and compassionate and everything I envisioned to help guide me through my birth. She clicked with my 15 month old and put my mind at ease. I am a naturally high strung person and she was able to help me navigate my anxiety and give me courage to advocate for myself.
My water broke at 209 on a Monday morning. I messaged Juanita letting her know. I showered, did laundry and laid back down. I called her as my contractions started to pick up. I told her to wait on coming but by the sound of my voice and the frequency of my contractions she let me know she’s be over soon. Once she walked in the energy of my house shifted drastically. Night and day energy shift. My friend even commented on it. Everything became calm and quiet and soothingly. We stopped timing contractions. She helped me find comfortable positions for contractions and positions that would quicken labor. She had me get on the toilet and get comfortable. She suggested the tub as my contractions intensified and she also made sure I was eating and drinking. As the sun rose Juanita noticed I was processing quickly and helped me realize it was time to go to the hospital. Once we arrived she helped me advocate for the type of birth I wanted. I was able to get in the shower at the hospital and Juanita helped me calm myself and relax into the contractions. During transition I stood up and screamed and Juanita helped calm me down, bringing me into focus and helped me deliver my baby without fear.
Juanita is amazing.
