Testimonial for Linda Sarna, CD(DONA), CLC, CST, HCHD, BRM™ Pro
Linda Sarna was the ideal choice of a doula for my first birth! Being new parents, my husband and I knew we wanted a doula because several friends had great experiences, and Linda was highly recommended to us by a friend. Linda was a consistent calm presence during my pregnancy and subsequent labor and birth. Having a baby during the Covid-19 pandemic is stressful, and we experienced many changes to our birth plan because of it. Linda remained supportive, calm, and knowledgeable through my pregnancy journey. She made me feel like I was capable of having the birth I wanted to have, despite the complications and circumstances beyond my control. Unfortunately, because of the hospital's Covid-related policies, Linda wasn't allowed to be present in person during my labor or birth. But, she made sure to come to our home before we went to the hospital to give us some helpful things to bring to the hospital, like essential oils and a diffuser. She even took the time to walk me through some exercises to help my body prepare for labor. When we went to the hospital, she remained present via texting and FaceTime so my husband could check in with her during various stages of my labor. She was a huge support to him and I in the whole process! I truly believe Linda's presence helped me achieve the type of birth experience I wanted. We highly recommend her and we would definitely have her as our doula again if we have another child. Thank you, Linda!
