Testimonial for Noleen Thurman CD(DONA) & Birth Photographer

Noleen is the best of the best.

Three years ago, she supported me through a twin pregnancy and then through a scheduled C-section. She was an amazing support to me as we welcomed my baby girls into the world.

When I got pregnant again with a baby boy, I knew I wanted Noleen with me again. I got the VBAC I wanted, but it happened in a very unexpected way- precipitous (very fast) labor! 

Noleen met me at the hospital and held my hand as the midwife told me I was already 10cm dilated.

I was scared about how fast things had progressed and wanted an epidural, but the midwife told me it was too late for one because it was time to push. 

In that moment, Noleen was my rock. She was completely calm and reassuring. She looked me in the eyes and said, "Amber, you can do this." And I believed her. I felt her strong and steady presence with me throughout the entire process of pushing. Her supportive presence allowed me to stay calm and feel safe through a completely unmedicated VBAC. 

Noleen captured that momentous occasion through beautiful photographs that I will treasure for the rest of my life. 

She truly loves mamas and babies and is passionate about offering quality birth support. 

Why would anyone want to go through birth alone when they can have Noleen by their side? 

I seriously love you, Noleen!
