Testimonial for Cheryl Klugmann

I am so thankful I found Cheryl to be my doula. I was looking for someone with a ton of experience in the hospital setting so I would feel my doula was capable of advocating for me. We also wanted a postpartum doula for after the birth so it really was a great fit. This is one of the many reasons why we picked Cheryl. With Covid we weren't sure if she would be allowed in the hospital at the time of labor. In her contractual agreement she had a clause that went over the what if’s due to Covid which left us feeling comfortable. Thankfully she was allowed. In preparation for labor, Cheryl gave us countless valuable tools, positions, and ways to cope with the contractions, During labor her experience shined through she was a strong yet gentle advocate for my needs, but beyond that she was so much more: in tune, calm, nurturing, insightful and a guide in helping me navigate the healthcare system when the unexpected came up. Through out my pregnancy she helped me feel empowered, make choices and trust my intuition. On the birth day, she guided me, gave me courage and gave me the most beautiful visualization that set the tone for the birth. She also helped my partner feel more calm and at ease. I can’t thank Cheryl enough for her warmth and support and would highly recommend her to any mama, whether they are having a birth at home, in the hospital or via cesarean. As our postpartum doula she was absolutely the best. She no joke seemed to have a magic touch. The baby would be having a all out fit and the moment she would pick her up silence and pure content. She was also helpful and knowledgeable regarding infant health issues(gas) yikes! feeding, and baby sleep; The amount of knowledge she had on products breast bumps was really exceptional not to mention breastfeeding support. Cheryl left us feeling strong and confident as new parents. I would hire Cheryl again in a heartbeat!
