Testimonial for Heather Samuels
When I asked my midwife if she’d recommend I hire a doula, she said “for a first birth, in my opinion, a doula is completely essential”.
And I’m so glad I followed her advise. Even more than that, I’m so glad that Heather was the one I found to hire and have a part of my team. She was incredible!
She added valuable knowledge and support to my experience that I really needed being a first time mom.
The two prenatal visits she offers were like mini childbirth education classes. By taking the time to listen to our expectations and fears, Heather helped make sure we felt ready for our birth experience.
During labor, she was readily available by phone call and text and was able to answer all my questions and concerns, setting my mind at ease.
I truly feel like Heather was that person in my corner all day long, cheering me on and believing in me when I stopped believing in myself. She normalized each part of labor and always made me feel safe and respected with her support.
She is realistic in her approach to offering advise and options, she didn’t candy coat anything for me, but was honest and kind without judgment. Heather has a high level of professionalism while also cultivating a real sense of friendship.
Overall, I truly believe without her involvement I wouldn’t have been successful at the fully unmedicated birth experience I had planned and wanted. Her presence and expertise was invaluable! And we are very grateful for her!!
