Testimonial for Victoria Michonski CD, HCHI, CLC
I can't say enough good things about Victoria and Heather of 312Doulas. I got my act together to hire a doula pretty late in my pregnancy (30 weeks!) when I realized that my husband and I could use a partner/advocate in the delivery room. We felt very empowered by the Evidence Based Birth class we took from Heather. I ended up going way past my due date and had to be induced. Heather provided excellent support and reassurance over the phone during the first part of my induction when the hours seemed to drag on and there was still no baby. When active labor finally arrived, Victoria was a godsend. My husband was running out of ideas to keep me comfortable and Victoria immediately got to work with aroma therapy, relaxing massage, and ideas to get the baby moving and keep me as comfortable as possible. In my lowest moments, Victoria partnered with my husband to encourage me to keep on going. When unexpected complications arose during labor, Victoria gave us insight that helped us speed labor along to a successful unmedicated, vaginal birth. It was such a gift that when the baby needed to be checked out right away, my husband could stick with him and Victoria stayed by my side while I was stitched up. Victoria documented our labor through notes (which are so valuable to look back on since it is such a blur) and took photos and videos of our newborn baby that we treasure. We only spent 8 hours together, but I now count Victoria as a friend for life. I recommend 312Doulas to all of my friends. Hiring them was the best decision.
