Testimonial for Patrycja (Patty) Drozd CD(DONA)
We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Patty. We had decided to hire a doula after learning more about them in our Evidence Based Birth class. After reading reviews about Patty, we decided to meet with her. Right from the start, she was very kind, compassionate and caring. She helped us to better understand her role and also helped us to realize that perhaps we were not receiving the best care possible from our obstetrician. She introduced us to a midwifery group in the area, and that really worked out so well for us. In the months leading up to my delivery, Patty was regularly in contact with us, sending along various resources to consider to help with baby position and to make for a more comfortable birthing experience. She also helped with the birth plan, which was quite an endeavor in and of itself. For my delivery, I wound up needing an induction. My induction lasted about 30 hours in total, and I was in constant contact with Patty during this time to have her help me through it and decide what to do next. Once it was getting closer, she came to the hospital. Once there, she helped me to relax after the epidural was placed. It was just so nice to have her there! She was so encouraging, and really made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. She also took several pictures of the entire birthing process as an added bonus. These are amazing to look back on, and bring me to tears all over again as I look through them. All in all, I could not have asked for a more pleasant birthing experience, and it all started with Patty. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
