Testimonial for Ryah Jo (she/her) Silver CD (PALS) CBE, OMP trained
Our doula was at another birth so she couldn't make it when I went into active labor. She spoke to her good friend Ryah and that's how we got this angel for my labor. I had never spoken to Ryah before but when she arrived it didn’t feel like that at all. This is our first baby and without her help I feel I would have given up. My contractions got intense when she came in and helped me tremendously by giving massages, aroma therapy and just helping out with pain management. My epidural unfortunately didn’t work the first time it was administered and because of that I got to experience the peak of contractions. Without her support I can’t even imagine handling those contractions on my own. When it was time to push, she helped me with different positions and also tried to correct baby's position. I pushed for 3 hours and again she was by my side helping with every aspect from feeding me ice chips to being my cheerleader that I can do it. And after pushing for so long, I met my beautiful baby boy ??
Ryah also captured some precious photos and videos that we are going to cherish forever. She also made sure to communicate with the nurses and my OB effectively to ensure I have a great experience. She also did a postpartum lactation consultation on Zoom later on. Thank you Ryah for everything! I still can't imagine if I would have been able to do it without you! If we ever decide to have a second baby I have no doubts in my head that you will be my birth doula??
