Testimonial for Fiona Galvani

I have started this letter a hundred times in my head, trying to express how thankful I am to have had you present at the birth of both my children. Your knowledge throughout the last weeks of my pregnancy and your support through my labour has meant the world to my husband and myself. The anticipation of having a baby for the first time, brought me such overwhelming feelings of excitement and fear. You listened, validated my feelings and calmed my fears. I cannot begin to explain the level of gratitude that I have for you. During all the buzz of the delivery and being surrounded by all medical personal---you maintained your focus on me, which in turn made me feel valued and that my feelings & thoughts mattered. You offered support to my husband as well. He is thankful for your gentle suggestions, which gave him the confidence to actively contribute to the delivery. Coming from a long history of c-sections, I was concerned about my ability to experience natural childbirth. With your knowledge, guidance and support, I was able to achieve a positive birth experience. I sincerely thank you for everything you have done.
