Testimonial for Alexis Rockey
I originally contacted Alexis to be the sibling doula to be with my toddler son while I give birth but then decided to switch to birth and postpartum doula, I'm glad I did. Alexis was quick to answer texts whenever I had questions, we met a few times to discuss expectations, she checked in after each appointment, offered great tips as of how to induce natural labor. I was trying really hard to have a VBAC so that was really helpful and I felt supported.
During labor, Alexis often reminded me to breathe slow, along with the talking and joking between contractions definitely helped easing the pain. I was able to have successful VBAC and I could relive and process that experience with her postpartum because everything was a blur to me but she was there to see everything first hand. Also just the talking and sharing of birthing experiences was so needed in the immediate postpartum period. Alexis also stayed to hold and comfort the new baby while I had a medical problem after being transferred to the ward, which I am so thankful about.
Alexis also has great resources, she suggested an acupuncture place to induce labor for me, a tongue tie doctor when my baby had trouble feeding. My daughter also had problem with her umbilical cord falling out and Alexis shared her own similar stories so I didn't feel like it was a big deal nor that I was alone in the situation.
This is my first time having a doula and Alexis had made it a positive experience. I would recommend her both as a birth and a postpartum doula!
