Testimonial for Maria Armstrong, LCCE, CD
I had my heart set on working with a midwife and having an intervention free birth, but it became clear early on that was not going to happen for me. It was hard for me to accept this, and I suddenly realized that I needed to find a doula to help me navigate the process and feel I had an advocate. We found Maria and I went from crying at every doctor’s appointment, to feeling like I understood what was happening and knowing that it would all be okay. My favorite thing about working with Maria is she was always so open minded and caring. I never felt judged for asking about options that can be controversial, like an epidural or circumcision. I was given all of the facts and that helped me make great decisions for our family. I ended up having a very difficult birth and I feel good about how everything went, which I absolutely don’t think would have been the case without Maria. I am so thankful that she was able to help me make the best out of a hard situation, and safely welcome our baby boy into the world. Hiring her was the best decision we made!
