Testimonial for Nicole Busse, LMT, CD(DONA)
As a first time mother at the age of 42, I had a complex mixture of emotions. I was so excited after several rounds of IVF to be blessed by successfully concieving my daughter. But I was so scared about so many things; was I doing everything possible to ensure a healthy pregnancy for my daughter and I? I wanted the most natural of births, but was I "too old" to do anything other that the sterile, hospital birth that my doctor insisted on "just in case anything went wrong?" And then I met Nicole, who calmed all my fears. He calm demenor instantly put me at ease and she assured me that I was already a good Mother for even thinking about these things. She shared stories of her pregnancies and the births of her sons, and I instantly knew I would be in the best hands with Nicole as she totally got me, the wishes I had as I went through my pregnancy and birth, all while preparing me that nothing is perfect and rarely goes as planned. We laughed and cried togehter on so many occassions, and still do even though my daughter is now 7 years old.
I think back to the day my daughter was born and it was a blur. There were numerous doctors and nurses who cycled in and out, but the only constant was Nicole. She held my hand, encouraged me, and showed me grace in my most vunerable state. She was my advocate, my cheerleader, and kept me centered. Her compassion, knowledge and love created the exact environment that I wanted to bring my daughter into from her very first breath and I am forever grateful.
After my daughter was born, she called to check in on us both even before we were discharged from the hospital. She came over to share more newborn wisdom and put my mind at ease as I voiced all my new mom fears. Moreover, Nicole became a trusted part of our little family and a dear friend who, to this day continues to advocate for us.
