Hayley was a crucial part in our birthing experience.
Becoming parents for the first time is nerve racking to say the least. So many things to do, say, follow, etc it can be overwhelming. Not knowing what to expect for a first time mother and father was something that caused a lot of anxieties for us.
That's when we decided to research local Doulas and found Hayley who was referred by many others in our area. Without hesitation we reached out, scheduled a consultation and immediately knew we needed her to be by our side.
From the start, Hayley was so personable, relatable and comforting offering advice when asked but never pressuring us into decisions or passing judgement.
Hayley not only helped with birthing pains and preventing tearing techniques, she also advocating for me in the hospital by following my birth plan which we created together.
Most would assume that Doulas are for the woman giving birth; however, Hayley was a huge support for my husband. She supported him, guided him and advised him on ways to support me and himself in a life changing moment.
Both my husband and I cannot imagine labor without her by our side and we hope to be able to use her again in the future.
Thank you, Hayley!
