We worked with Linda for the birth of our first child in May of 2021. As a first time mother, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from labor, but knew I wanted to feel empowered in my choices and supported regardless of the path my pregnancy and labor took. Linda supported my husband and I during our pregnancy and was a valuable source of information. She also supported me with bodywork services and daily stretching exercises to ensure my body was prepared for labor.
Our labor ended up taking a different path than we had expected due to an induction related to hypertension and premature rupture of my water. Linda was supportive in helping my husband and me understand our options as my birth plan changed. Linda played a huge part not only in supporting me during labor and immediately after, but also in ensuring I was prepared for the varied possibilities of birth. Ultimately, my labor was fast and extremely positive, despite not adhering to my birth plan. I attribute the success of our birth to the mental and physical preparation of my body, and knowing what to expect each step of the way in labor - Linda played a huge part in all aspects of our preparation.
