Testimonial for The Birth Collective | doula, photo, education

As a first time mom hoping for an unmedicated birth, I knew having a doula would provide a huge support during the birth experience. Austin and The Birth Collective team gave me more than I could have imagined! From coming to my home in the third trimester to help prepare me for whats ahead, comforting and encouraging me during the birth process and continuing to provide me with resources and support post birth, they really go above and beyond. During labor and delivery specifically I will never forget Austin holding my hands, rubbing my back and showering me in the tub. She helped me focus on breathing techniques and was always speaking words of encouragment. The photos Austin took are my favorite photos I have ever seen. The raw emotion captured and the love between my husband and I are something I can now look back on for the rest of my life. If we decide to have another child in the future, I know I will want the Birth collective by my side.
