Testimonial for Alicia Power CD(DONA)
We feel so fortunate that we had Alicia as our doula for the birth of our second child. After a very difficult first birth experience, my wife and I decided we wanted a doula for the second. Some friends recommended Alicia after their positive experience with her, and from the first meeting, we knew we had found a great doula for us. I really appreciate how Alicia acknowledged the difficulty of our first birth and worked with us to develop a plan of action to make for a better birth experience. During our pre-birth visits, she brought a combination of compassion, practicality, and scientific expertise that put my wife and I at ease and made us feel like we could create a new birth story.
During the labor, Alicia balanced a hands-on approach while stepping back and letting it be our experience. She provided guidance and information when we needed it and helped me meet my wife’s needs throughout. At transition points in the labor, she was able to anticipate our fears based on our first birth and offer practical tips and reassurance about how things were proceeding.
Alicia did so much to make it a memorable experience for us. Two things stand out to me: she had a waterproof Bluetooth speaker on hand that let us play a special mix that we still listen to almost every day, and while I held my wife during the birth, she used my camera during to take some some amazing photographs.
Alicia helped create an amazing birth experience for my wife and me. We don’t think it would have been possible without her, and we can’t recommend her highly enough.
