Testimonial for Ildi Sebestyén & Samantha Harris
I cannot begin to express how wonderful of an experience I had working with Sam and Ildi. I felt supported, educated and prepared throughout my entire experience. The most important thing for me was that they curated information and made is useful and actionable. They were extremely responsive- picking up the phone immediately or calling back within minutes so I never felt alone.
My baby came two weeks early and Ildi supported me through my labor. My water broke, and I was induced at 8pm. She communicated clearly about her arrival time at the hospital and what steps to take in the meantime with both me and my husband. She worked in collaboration with the nurses to the point that they told me how great of a doula she was, and they would love to work with her again. Ildi helped me go through various labor positions until 4am to keep me comfortable and help get my baby in the optimal position. I then got an epidural (which she was in full support of) and she continued to keep me informed about what I was experiencing, coach me through any changes and even tell me and my husband when we should rest! When it came time to push, she was right by my side and still managed to capture videos and photos right after birth. I pushed for less than 10 minutes because the baby was in such a good position.
Ultimately everyone's birth experience is different, but I truly believe working with Ildi set me up for the best possible delivery. Could not recommend working with Sam and Ildi more!!
