Testimonial for Joanna Guzman
Once I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to have a natural birth with the help of a doula. The thought of having to find one and hoping they were a good fit felt a bit stressful, but luckily Joanna came highly recommended by my sister in law. She was the first and only doula I spoke with. I just knew after meeting her that one time that she was the perfect fit for me.
Joanna is truly amazing at what she does! As a first time mom I was not sure what to expect or if I would even be able to accomplish a natural birth, but she definitely helped me believe in myself and what my body was capable of doing. She has a way of making you feel so safe and secure with her soothing voice! I felt empowered with her coaching me every step of the way. She was there for me for whatever I needed and at times I did not even have to speak a word, she just knew. My birthing experience with her by my side felt calm and peaceful and I felt very well taken care of.
Because of all our previous appointments and how attentive she always was to any of my questions, concerns and wants, I felt comfortable and confident that she understood all that I needed and wanted. Joanna is incredibly knowledgeable and was always available via text or phone call for anything I needed. She provided tons of information and I took any and all advice which I truly think helped my first labor go as well as it did.
I don't know if I would have remained as strong as I did had I not had her laboring with me the entire time. If I were to do it again I will definitely without a doubt choose Joanna to be my doula again. She becomes more than a doula, she becomes family!
