Testimonial for Evana Cooper, BA, CD AMANI
Evana was my doula during the birth of my first baby. She was a wonderful help and encouragement throughout the process.
In our first meeting Evana explained every little detail of labor process and we built the birth plan together. I wasn't able to get such help from my OBGYN. Evana educated my husband and I about various techniques to cope with pain of contractions.
I was scheduled for an induction. Evana arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night with a very short notice during really bad icy snowstorm.
Throughout the labor, my husband was by my side to support me through the contractions, but when i was distracted by the nursing staff or fatigue, Evana was always right there to fill in the gaps that they could not see. She saw my needs without requiring me to find the strength to communicate them.
Not only was she an intuitive coach, but she had an amazing ability to find ways of massaging sore muscles. Her skills were a significant source of relief. She created an atmosphere that was spiritual and calming: candles and essential oils.
Finally, and most importantly in a hospital birth, she was a great advocate. She was able to help us effectively communicate with the hospital staff, gave us suggestions regarding what our options were, and helped us navigate the waters of a nursing staff.
Again, Evana was such a wonderful help and encouragement. It was a privilege to have her at my birth. Every laboring woman needs a doula, but it is a lucky woman who is able to have a doula as skilled and experienced as Evana.
