Testimonial for Scarlett Lynsky
My husband and I hired Scarlett for the birth of our daughter this summer. We were aiming to have a natural hospital birth but also understood that things often don't go as planned. We wanted a doula who would be able to calmly and non-judgementally support us if we ended up needing interventions. Scarlett was everything we thought we wanted and more. I was able to have an intervention-free delivery, and while much of that was due simply to the stars aligning, I also believe that the prenatal conversations we had with Scarlett enabled both of us to face the challenges of delivery and have the birth we wanted. During Scarlett's prenatal visits, she encouraged us to think through different scenarios, talk through our anticipated emotions, and devise coping strategies. We did also enroll in childbirth classes and found our conversations with Scarlett to be significantly more valuable. I believe that one of the key reasons we achieved the birth we desired was that we were intellectually and emotionally prepared. Scarlett helped us get there. Her support during and after the delivery was also tremendously valuable, but for our particular birth, I believe the prenatal visits made the biggest difference. We whole-heartedly recommend Scarlett as a doula!
