Testimonial for Joanna Guzman
I am beyond grateful for Joanna Guzman. God literally found me the best doula and I could not be more thankful to Him for connecting me with her. It was my heart's desire to have a VBAC after two c sections but because of my previous history of having a preterm (c section) birth I was not even sure if I would make it to full term in my 3rd pregnancy. When I hit 35 weeks it occured to me that God was going to carry this baby to full term and I started thinking about how important it would be to have a doula as a part of my birth team. My dear friend encouraged me to only chose a doula who I felt completely comfortable with. I began to research doulas with the help of some friends who went on social media to help me find someone. As soon as I went on Joanna's website and instagram page and was reading about who she was and her passions and heart as well as what clients were saying about her I instantly had this perfect peace from God that she was the person I needed by my side in the delivery room. My wonderful, supportive husband was completely on board and when I reached out to Joanna she was miraculously available. Joanna is kind, strong and a true servant. She is calm and professional too. I completely trusted her and looked to her for advice about when to go in to the hospital because I wanted to labor in the hospital parking lot until my contractions picked up. She helped me to get in to the right frame of mind before entering the hospital. When I was in the labor and delivery room about to push she was a pillar of strength for me. I felt so comforted by her presence and calm, gentle words when things were tough. She was a godsend. I felt so strengthened and empowered having her and my husband by myside. Its a powerful thing to have someone who you feel believes in you WITH you! I know my husband was also so thankful she was with us too. If you are considering Joanna as your doula-I want you to know I highly recommend her.
