Testimonial for Scarlett Lynsky
Scarlett goes above and beyond in providing a comprehensive doula experience, which is not easy during a pandemic. We hired Scarlett at the beginning of March 2020 when in-person services for pregnant people stopped being offered. Not only was Scarlett quick to offer an alternative format of regular virtual meetups, they also went out of their way to drive across town for a few porch drop-offs during our doula-time (e.g., rebozo, pressure point tools, and our Evidence Based Birth workbook - Scarlett was also our EBB childbirth educator). During our labor and delivery, Scarlett was just a text and phone video away. Best yet, Scarlett, at 10:30pm, drove to the hospital to pick up and safeguard my placenta when the placenta-encapsulation specialist wasn't available that night. Scarlett was just the right amount of nuturing and just the right amount of informative, exactly what we were looking for in a doula. Scarlett worked within our comfort zone and understood, from the start, our past experiences and traumas that influenced our pregnancy and birth path (i.e., Scarlett does an extenstive intake to learn about clients). We never felt pressured to do birthing techniques that didn't complment our needs. Lastly, I'm writing this review 15-weeks postpartum; I can still rely on Scarlett when needed, including reaching out for podcast recommendations and a virtual postpartum meetup twice a month to check in and sustain community during this uncertain times.
