Testimonial for Patrycja (Patty) Drozd CD(DONA)
My husband and I loved our experience working with Patty. From the moment we met her, we were drawn to her warm, welcoming nature. I was so nervous about the entire birth experience, and she helped to ease my fears and ground me. She provided us with a wide variety of resources to learn what to expect about pregnancy and birth, and to research and prepare us for the birth experience. She answered any questions we had, helped us create a birth plan, and walked us through ways to make preparing for and experiencing labor feel less scary. She eased my fears, and gave my husband ways to support me through the process.
I went into labor earlier than expected, and Patty was unable to be at our son's birth because she was with another client. However, she was in contact with me throughout my labor, encouraging me, checking in with how things were going, providing advice, and even sending a backup doula our way for my actual delivery. She visited us in the hospital before we were released, and was a huge support as we adjusted to our son being earth-side, breastfeeding, and preparing to go home.
I was so nervous about giving birth, but working with Patty helped give both myself and my husband tools and resources to ease our anxiety, stay grounded through the process, and be ready for whatever came our way. We couldn't have asked for a better doula to guide and support us through the birth of our first child.
