Testimonial for Alyson Mancini CD(DONA), BA Birth/Newborn Photographer
I highly recommend Alyson as a birth doula! She most recently supported me in the birth of my third child (also supported my second!) and was incredible before, during, and after the birth. During the birth my son was "stuck" and a c-section was on the table. Alyson worked seamlessly with the wonderful nurses at St. Mary's to try countless positions which successfully prevented the c-section. Her calming presence was particularly valuable to this mom giving birth in a pandemic. She helped my husband feel useful and involved in the birth, and takes the most beautiful photos of those first precious moments, which I treasure. Post partum, she checks in to make sure mom, baby, and the rest of the family are adjusting well, and makes amazing lactation cookies, which I order regularly! Alyson has supported other members of my family as well and we are all huge fans. Happy to serve as a reference for anyone considering hiring Alyson - just request my info from her.
