Testimonial for Noleen Thurman CD(DONA) & Birth Photographer
We can’t put into words how integral Doula Noleen was to our son’s birth (and keeping us sane)! He is our first so we didn’t even know what a doula was until recently. But we knew we wanted Noleen at our side right after meeting her. Not only was she referred to us by a trusted friend, but we know that her calm nature and vast experience would be needed as we navigated a home birth. I was surprised at how much Noleen helped before the birth, too. She connected us to two really helpful courses and provided many resources along the way.
Noleen did everything she said she was going to the day of the birth. She helped prepare us for what to expect and most of all, she was right there with us explaining what was happening and offering suggestions to manage the pain.
Noleen also captured the events of the day with photographs and a sweet birth story. I’d highly recommend adding this because it is such an overwhelming day you are bound to forget all the sweet moments.
Even if you aren’t considering working with a doula, at least talk with Noleen. We are so thankful for her support before, during, and after the birth. We could not imagine doing it without her.
