Testimonial for Carling Sothoron
Working with Carling was everything that I could possibly hope for in a doula relationship. From our first point of contact, she has always been prompt and reliable - not to mention incredibly kind, calm, and reassuring. Both my wife and I frequently reached out to her over the course of our pregnancy as we sought recommendations for pregnancy related care and discussed healthcare visits and outcomes. Carling's connections to the local birthwork community were invaluable, and we ultimately found providers that were affirming in many of the ways that we had hoped. During our very long induction experience, Carling was willing to come and stay for as long as we needed, and advocated on our behalf to medical staff to ensure that our wishes were met. We were ultimately able to have the vaginal birth (sans epidural!) that we wanted - thanks in part to Carling's encouragement to move, eat, and support physiological birth. We have been so grateful to have had her support along the way in this pregnancy, and would highly recommend anyone considering a doula to reach out to her. We wouldn't have wanted to do it without her!
