Testimonial for Megan Boone
Megan was sent as a backup doula to the homebirth of my second child. She arrived at our home and we made a quick introduction between contractions, but my labour had gotten suddenly much more intense and I gave over my trust to this person I had just met, and it never felt strange or awkward at all.
Megan was just exactly where she needed to be and did what she needed to do without us needing to give direction. She is clearly experienced at her job, and was the perfect presence at our birth. Since my labour advanced so rapidly after I called her in (and she arrived very quickly, thank goodness!), I really wasn't able to think beyond my contractions. She was giving me hip squeezes and lots of soothing encouragements, guiding me through the contractions. I'll always remember her calm voice reminding me to breathe and bring my shoulders down. She kept me grounded all the way through to delivery.
One thing I cannot value enough are the photos she took of the birth. I have looked at them about a million times in the following week!
After the birth Megan was right on top of the clean up of the birth pool, laundry and probably a ton of things I was too dazed to notice.
I'm incredibly grateful to Megan, and highly recommend her to any expectant parents.
