Testimonial for Ryah Jo (she/her) Silver CD (PALS) CBE, OMP trained
I am so thankful I met Ryah Jo! I was 37 weeks pregnant, I lost my original doula, I found out my baby was breeched, my EVC was unsuccessful and I was looking at a planned caesarean instead of the natural birth I prepped and planned for. Needless to say I was pretty overwhelmed. Ryah Jo came in and was such a warm and comforting presence. She was instrumental in turning my surgery into such a positive experience.
While in the OR, she brought some calm in the chaos by coordinating music and providing fragrant oils. She held my hand when the surgeons got to work, and stayed by my side when my husband left to go check on the baby when he was delivered. She guided my husband through the c-section while it was happening, and empowered him to be a full participant in the OR. She even took videos and pictures and helped us document the moment.
I am also thankful for her services outside of the OR. She visited me postpartum just to check in, and was always available via text messages for all of my questions and concerns. When I found out I needed a caesarean, I thought I wouldn't need a doula anymore but I'm so glad I had Ryah Jo!
