Testimonial for Exie Buehler, CBD (CBI),Dip CBEd (CBI)
My husband and I attempted a natural childbirth when my first child was born, but ended up with an epidural and other interventions that we would have like to have avoided. When I found out I was pregnant for a second time, we decided to hire Exie to serve as a doula and make another attempt at having a natural birth. This time around, with Exie's support, we accomplished this goal and had a very positive birth experience as a result. Exie's warm, calm demeanor was a comfort to both of us, and her coaching combined with the accupressure and massage techniques helped me to stay strong and focus on the ultimate goal rather than the pain of labor. My husband continues to be very grateful for the support and guidance he received as well, even down to the little things, like being reminded to rest while he could and to eat periodically. I also really value the support that Exie provided in the weeks prior to the birth, including prenatal massages and accupressure work when my due date came and went, as well as the postnatal care she provided. I continue to use the infant massage techniques she taught me on my daughter.
I really can't adequately express how much Exie brought to the birth experience, but I will say that I would never consider giving birth without a doula again, and can't see myself working with anyone other than Exie. Her warmth and caring were exactly what I needed as I went through the birth process.
