Testimonial for Cheryl Klugmann
Thank God for Cheryl! I was on the fence about a doula in general, considering the support that was provided at the birth center I was to deliver at (plus say, a pandemic?) However, we met Cheryl and I knew it was a good fit, she was open-minded, intuitive, and took her experience seriously. Before the birth, she attentively coached and helped me process my concerns, answered any and all questions I had about symptoms and offered great suggestions on products. During the birth process her support proved invaluable when things took a more complicated turn than I had ever imagined; she was right there to guide, comfort, coach my husband and be an advocate for us. Her unfailing support as I labored the night before the birth made me feel like I wasn't alone in such a big transition, which translated to the hospital room itself as things became more serious. Post-partum she held the space for me and my new family's well-being, checking in, calling, offering good advice and tips for a new mom who is finding her footing as she navigates these brand new waters of breastfeeding, sleeping, routines, mental health, you name it. I know I can count on Cheryl and her steady, knowing presence now and in the future. Thank you, thank you!!
