Testimonial for Yvonne Gatling

During our first meeting, I knew Yvonne was going to be everything I needed and more in a Doula. Even though this was my second birth I was still nervous about it all but Yvonne made me feel comfortable and more confident about the labor and delivery process. She was patient, kind, encouraging and informative. I could not have gotten through this process without her practical advice, calming spirit and expertise.

Not having the support and presence of  my child’s father was very hard for me but Yvonne helped fill that emptiness more than she knows. On the night of my delivery, I informed her I was going into labor and she stopped whatever she was doing to be by my side.

During labor and deliver she walked me through different exercises along with helping me with the baby after delivery; she was there from start to finish. I  was even able to deliver my baby without  any medication and I could not have done that without the guidance and support from Yvonne.
