Testimonial for Sofia Richman, MPH, CPD, CBD
Sofia Was Wonderful!
Many of our family members had not even heard of a doula and we were on the fence about hiring one due to finances. However, Sofia became an invaluable source of knowledge and support as well as an essential part of our birth team.
Our birth experience did not go as planned. Despite taking multiple parenting classes and reading many books the birth plan we had made with the midwives at our local birthcenter was derailed when we were diagnosed with preclampsia three weeks before our due date.
Now forced into the exact scenario we wanted to avoid (inducing at a hospital) Sofia was very empathetic and provided both physical and emotional support. With her positivity and presence, we were able to turn a scary experience into a joyous one.
Even before labor when Sofia encouraged us to make a back up plan for the unexpected and after birth when she came to check on our baby's well-being and our mental health, we felt well taken care of and prepared to care for our son.
Thank you Sofia!
