Testimonial for Heather Rogers BSc, BEd, CD(DONA), CLE, SBD, LCCE
Heather was there to help deliver both of my children. She has a strong, kind and confident character that, I believe, could command a strength and calm in myself when I needed it the most. My first birth experience caught me off guard and instilled a lot of fears for my second one. My spouse meant well, but wasn't capable of caring for me the way I needed to be for labor. I knew I needed Heather as my primary labor partner for the second one. She not only had experience with me from my first birth but also incredible lifelong experience as a mum and as a woman who has attended many births. We discussed at length all my fears and what needed to change for the second time. I felt heard and understood and somehow had the courage to plan a home birth a few weeks before the due date, knowing I had good support. When the day finally arrived, Heather did a phenomenal job in using different techniques to take the edge off. She kept me hydrated, fed and motivated. She practically carried all my weight and did countless hip squeezes, which is not easy. She stroked my hair and mentored each contraction and took pictures. I don't know how she did all that. My husband was able to rest and focus on aiding the midwives in gathering what was needed. I successfully had an unmedicated home birth and it was glorious and redeeming and I don't think I could have done it without her.
