Testimonial for Cherish Perez CD(DONA),CLE, CBE
Hard to put into words how much Cherish means to our family! When we first interviewed doulas, we instantly clicked with Cherish. Her easygoing nature and experience as a mom herself, alongside her genuine interest in connecting not just with me but also with my partner, made it a no-brainer to hire her. During my pregnancy, Cherish was available via text/phone whenever I needed, and as a first-time mom I had a lot of questions. When I went 10 days over my due date, you can best believe I was asking for natural ways to induce labor and Cherish always sent me great evidence-based resources. She came over more then 2 times before my labor to help with positioning of baby. For birth: because of the new Delta restraints, we had to fight to get Cherish in before I was in active labor. Tuesday evening, she arrived after being very communicative with my partner and suggesting things to do while we waited to induction to take effect. She even came and brought us some zucchini bread and things to make the room more chill, like lights and essential oils. Then, she was with us sleeping on a pad until Thursday afternoon when baby finally made her debut. Along the way, she helped me labor in the tub, and once I got an epidural helped with spinning baby moves to turn baby’s head towards my spine (it worked!). She allowed my partner to feel he could take a nap or get coffee. She helped get us situated after the birth and sent us amazing birth photos and videos afterwards! After birth, I struggled with the baby blues as well as breastfeeding. Cherish came to support me with that more than a few times, and even now at 2 months postpartum I am still utilizing her as a resource and support. I forgot to mention that she also was so patient and adoring towards our first baby, our fur baby Cedar, who needs a LOT of attention. We truly appreciate her and IF we decide to have another child, we will most definitely use Cherish again as our doula. ??
