Testimonial for Mary Rudd, CD (DONA) (PALS)
Mary was an adaptive, supportive doula who I would highly recommend. She worked with me when I had my second baby.
She met me where I was at - I didn't need as much education on my options since this was my second baby but really needed someone to affirm and refine my plans before birth, help during the most intense stages of labor and delivery, and then help me process it all afterwards.
My partner said his stress melted away when Mary arrived at the hospital. She did a great job supporting him through my labor and helping him know more ways to help me.
My labor happened fast and she dove right into support the moment she arrived. (She also gives the best back massages - this was the best relief during labor!)
The post partum visit was my favorite. I really wanted help processing the birth experience and Mary had great insights to share as we talked through it while giving me space to share what was on my mind. I'm sure she could have helped with more hands on baby / recovery things but she was willing to go right where I needed.
