Testimonial for Heather Norris CD(DONA)
Choosing Heather as our doula was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. After the birth of my first child, I felt disappointed by the experience and the lack of support I received. With this pregnancy, I wanted something different and hiring a doula was an important part of the plan. I knew Heather was the right fit for us after our initial consultation. We loved Heather’s childbirth classes and learned so much. It was also incredibly convenient to be able to stream the classes and not have to worry about juggling childcare for our toddler so that we could attend in-person classes. Heather was great about answering any questions in areas where we needed clarification. She is also a talented photographer and provided photos during our birth and did a newborn session a few days afterward. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during this birth and am so grateful Heather was there. Heather’s guidance and wisdom helped me feel more prepared for what to expect during labor, so the process didn’t seem as scary. I opted for an unmedicated home birth, and Heather’s calm yet confident demeanor was invaluable during some of the more intense phases of labor. Including Heather as part of our birth team also took stress off of my husband, allowing him to enjoy the experience instead of constantly feeling like he should be doing something to help. Heather is a priceless addition to any birth team, and I’m so grateful for her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy. I appreciated that Heather took the time to get to know us before my due date and listed to our preferences, questions and concerns. I felt at ease knowing that she has the experience and training to adapt to different situations as necessary. Like others have said, my only regret is not hiring Heather for our first baby. I strongly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a more enjoyable and positive birth experience!
