Testimonial for Linda Sarna, CD(DONA), CLC, CST, HCHD, BRM™ Pro
Hiring Linda was the best investment I made in preparation for my child's birth. Right from the start she was professional and warm. Linda has great resources and a clean, easy to navigate website and client portal. I knew she was the right fit for me when she described her doula style as "quiet, calm, and all about environment." She absolutely delivered on that during the labor and birth experience. She helped my partner and me cultivate a peaceful, loving, and intentional space for our child to enter the world into...even when the plans and birthing locations changed more than once. Linda provided excellent guidance during the labor experience, when things felt pretty intense for me physically, she coached me through different positons and instructed me to remain in a posture for "30 minutes" or "3 waves (contractions)" and that was SO HELPFUL because I was able to focus on managing the labor in tangible units of time. I know my partner really appreciated Linda's reassurance and presence because she was so familiar and comfortable with the birthing process. Her knowledge of the positions really provided relief for my partner because he could focus on supporting me emotionally without also having to remember everything he learned in the books, classes, and our prenatal visits. We agree that hiring Linda was absolutely vital to our positive, empowering experience and we definitely recommend hiring her, no matter what type of birth you are hoping for.
