Testimonial for Chana Diamond
Chana is amazing!!! She helped me understand the mental & physical changes happening in my body during pregnancy, what to expect of labor and delivery, and how to figure out what my priorities were for pregnancy and birth. I was in labor for 27 hours, and she was there for 14 of them, giving me physical and emotional support throughout: taking turns with my partner comforting me & providing counter-pressure during contractions, holding a cup of gatorade for me to sip, acting as my health advocate, and managing communication with all the new grandparents. Afterwards, my partner said he didn't know how we could have made it through such a long and difficult labor without Chana— my child was born in a compound position, and I needed extra support at the tail end of things; I had painful back labor for a long time in the period before I began to push. Chana was my partner's primary support, too, taking turns with him and encouraging him to rest and hydrate during those hard hours. Recovery after such an intense labor has been an ordeal as well—but Chana has been checking in on me almost daily this whole time (I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum now). For me, having a birth doula who has so much experience, who is also a trained therapist, *and* a lactation consultant has been an immense gift. Any time I have needed her, she has been present with affirmations, resources, knowledge, and care. THANK YOU CHANA!!! We wouldn't have wanted to welcome our beautiful son without your help.
