Testimonial for Abrehet Francis
Abrehet was a wonderfully supportive, empathetic, empowering, and knowledgable doula. From our first interview, where I half-joked that I was feeling out of breath, Abre made space for us to slow down and center by taking a few deep breaths together. Even over zoom, I felt her calming, grounded energy and loved it.
Abre took extra time to listen to my and my partner's needs and concerns as a first-time parents-to-be, and she patiently and thoroughly guided us through factors and decisions we didn't even know to think about.
Abre doesn't just focus on the birthing process as a standalone event. She took the time to get to know my partner and I, and shared her story with us too. This helped us form a connection and friendship that was really helpful during the birth, when you need familiar and comfortable energy around you. She was a blessing with her massage, her quiet firm voice, her presence of mind to take some photos during labor, and with some tricks to help things move along when my labor stalled.
My birth didn't go according to plan, and Abre was wonderful in taking time to help me process through it so that I could direct my attention and energy to my new baby. I really appreciated having her with us as we prepared for the birth, during labor and delivery, and afterwards. Thank you Abre for being such a caring and attentive doula!
