Testimonial for Alyson Mancini CD(DONA), BA Birth/Newborn Photographer
Alyson was the greatest blessing throughout my pregnancy, labor and delivery and postpartum care. She is calming, kind, knowledgeable and an advocate for expecting mothers. Throughout my pregnancy, labor and delivery, Alyson was always available and no questions were off limits.
During my labor and delivery, she followed my birth plan, advocated for me, guided me through my contractions and reminded me what a strong, powerful woman I am. When I went into labor, Alyson called me right away to find out how far apart my contractions were. She then came to the house, walked up and down the street with me, massaged my back and provided counter pressure while I labored in different positions. Once at the hospital, Alyson helped my husband use different techniques to provide counter pressure during my strongest contractions. It is difficult to say what I loved most about my experience with Alyson, but I can never thank her enough for calmy and confidently addressing every question, need and anxiety that I had during labor. She guided us through every step of the process. Additionally, Alyson took the most incredible photographs during my labor and delivery without being intrusive. I will cherish those photos forever as a reminder of how strong and powerful my body is and how indefinite my love for my husband and our first baby is.
Now that we are home from the hospital, my husband and I are forever grateful for Alyson's support. Every day we've said to each other how lucky we were to have Alyson by our sides throughout my pregnancy, labor and delivery and postpartum care. Alyson truly is a blessing and I know when we have another baby, I will ask that she is by our sides as our doula again.
