Testimonial for Heather Pound -DONA, Hypnobirthing, Photography
Heather was exactly the doula we were looking for as we prepared for the delivery of our son. I loved her approach, which was to be very thoughtful and understanding of our wants, and also to be clear and honest about what to expect. Heather is very knowledgeable about the birth process, giving us a lot of confidence in her advice. She helped make sure we were educated about the most likely scenarios so we could be prepared with what decisions would be right for us. She got to know both me and my husband and what our desires and philosophy was around our birth and helped ensure these were honored. Late in my pregnancy my doctor started talking about a possible induction and Heather provided me with a lot of options to help get things moving. I went into labor a few days before the induction was scheduled to take place. During labor, Heather was there every step of the way to advocate for our wishes and make sure I was always being taken care of. She also helped my husband by always letting him know what he could be doing to make sure I felt supported and cared for - as first time parents it was all unknown territory and she really set us both up to be as successful as possible. She was positive and encouraging throughout the birth and give me a variety of options to keep my labor progressing. Ultimately, I managed to deliver a 9lbs 14oz baby naturally and without drugs - something I am confident would not have happened without Heather. I felt safe with Heather and completely trusted her advice, which made all the difference in the delivery room.
