Testimonial for Catrin Gunnarson
Catrin came highly recommend. My partner and I interviewed 3 other doulas before we decided on Catrin and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Catrin has a beautiful energy about her that immediately made me feel calm, safe and secure. Her knowledge of the birth process and how to best support an expectant birthing person and their partner during this incredible time is absolutely astounding.
At our very first meeting with Catrin, we immediately knew she was the one for us. She actively listened to our previous first birth story which was very traumatic and how desperate we were for a different experience this time as. She asked in-depth questions about our hopes and wishes for our birth plan and we both felt heard and supported.
When it came time for the birth of our baby, Catrin was the calmest, strongest energy. She was the encouragement I needed to remind me I am a warrior woman. My body was BUILT for this and she was the cheerleader I needed to help me keep pushing. She knew all the positions to assist me in pain management, she knew when I needed to be touched and when I didn’t. Her hands knew all the right places to massage, allowing me more relief and rest in between contractions. She helped support my partner in how best to support me and he absolutely nailed it! I believe my partner and I have become even closer after this magical experience Catrin helped facilitate.
Catrin’s emotional support throughout our baby’s birth and during our postpartum session was something my partner and I would not trade for anything. Catrin is an authentic, beautiful soul and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was an integral part to our beautiful birth story.
