Natasha Trapp is an exceptional doula. She is calm, patient and offers exceptional support in labor. We worked with Natasha throughout our pregnancy in 2020. Natasha’s expertise enabled our safe, smooth home birth.
My biggest concern in having a home birth was around pain management: would I be able to handle the intensity of labor? Natasha’s support specifically addressed this concern. She helped us prepare mentally and emotionally for birth, and then from the moment she arrived at our birth, her pain management support was invaluable. Natasha was able to materially reduce the pain I felt during labor, empowering me to keep my strength and focus.
As the intensity of labor dialed up, Natasha’s calm expertise and ability to directly address the challenges I was facing. Her peaceful demeanor is a juxtaposition to her heroic physical strength. She combined counter-pressure and soothing words to help me overcome the most intense contractions. She never wavered, remaining a steadfast presence of positivity and support.
One of the most valuable parts of working with Natasha was her support processing the birth, several days later. She visited us and helped us recall and process labor and birth - immensely valuable in the sleepless fog of new parenthood while trying to understand and process a life-changing event! Her perspective, questions and guidance helped us feel ready and confident to continue forward with this new journey!
I highly recommend working with Natasha, and look forward to working with her again in the future.
