Testimonial for Hannah Monroe, CD(DONA)

Hannah is one of the most compassionate people you could ever meet, and this is evident in her work as a doula. She was an incredible blessing to our family during the birth of our daughter.

This was my second delivery. During prenatal discussions, she was eager to listen to my hopes for the birth, asked questions both to help clarify my expectations and to help me think through scenarios I had not considered. She was knowledgable about resources for pregnancy, labor and delivery, and post-partum (including breastfeeding). It was also obvious that she is well read and familiar with a wide range of literature on the relevant topics. 

We initially planned to deliver in a birthing center but were transferred to the hospital for medical reasons. Hannah showed up and was there the entire time, providing many different types of support to me and my husband. She offered massage and counter pressure for pain, suggested different positions (including use of birthing balls), and held my hand while helping to guide my breathing. She also offered suggestions and encouragement to my husband, enabling him to be the support partner I needed. She advocated for me to the nurses and doctors as well, helping me to ask questions and to make my wishes clear and asking follow-up questions on my behalf.

Through the entire birth, she continued to remind me that my body was doing what it needed to be doing despite my pain and discouragement. Transition and pushing were rapid, intense, and scary, but Hannah helped me to listen to my body during delivery and then to cope with the adreniline and anxiety I had immediately afterward.

She truly desires to see her mothers empowered and encouraged to deliver on their terms. I was able to deliver unmedicated largely in part to her support. She is wonderful, and you would be in excellent care if you hire her as your doula.
