Testimonial for Hilary Storey, CD(DONA)
A couple months ago, when my wife and I found out that the pandemic requirements at the hospital meant that I was going to be the only one with her while she was in labor, I was really overwhelmed. We decided to find a doula for support and that’s when we found Hilary. When we met her, we both felt confident that she would be a fitting match for us. She was very accommodating and available for questions throughout the process.
The morning when labor started, Hilary met us at the hospital a few minutes after we had checked in. I was so glad that she was there because everything I had learned from books in preparation seemed to go out the window from my adrenaline. Hilary steered me in the right direction to assist my wife and I was reassured when things got tense.
Hilary was both attentive to my wife's needs, as well as my own; from eating, hydration, temperature regulation for my wife, etc. She took away the stress and guilt of not being at my wife's bedside when I needed to take a momentary break in order to take care of myself.
The moment that I met my son is a moment that cannot begin to describe and the journey to get to that point was a positive one because of Hilary’s help. Without her, I would have been overwhelmed and felt helpless.
A couple days after my wife gave birth, Hilary also drove out to our house to make sure we were doing alright and answered any "new parent" questions we had. I would 100% recommend Hilary to make such an important moment a great experience.
