Testimonial for Mathilde Bourgon

Let me just start by saying that as a first time mom, investing in Mathilde for both birth and postpartum doula was by far one of the most important decisions I made as I embarked this truly incredible journey into parenthood. I had a relatively smooth pregnancy, but my labor was long and tough. Reflecting back on my labor, I realized how important Mathilde's support was in helping me get through it all. I am so thankful to have had her during such a challenging time, and to be my support alongside my husband through my first experience with childbirth.

Postpartum is a whirlwind of challenges - most especially for first time moms. Figuring out sleep, breastfeeding, bathing, clothing, and most importantly, RECOVERY, along with a myriad of things that you need to adjust and figure out was so overwhelming to us first time parents. Mathilde supported us in every aspect of our life as we slowly figured out our new life with our newborn. Mathilde was always thinking one step ahead, making sure that we were well nourished and fed (she is a fantastic cook!), giving us space to process our birth experience, helping brainstorm ways to help settle our newborn for sleep, and teaching us all the normal day-to-day things that go with taking care of a newborn. Now that I'm reaching the end of my last 3 months of PP with her, I've been reflecting on it all and can say that I feel so much more confident in this journey into parenthood - all because of Mathilde. She helped me figure out pumping, breastfeeding issues, sleep (oh, man - this one is important), focusing on my mental health, giving referrals for all types of support - all while reminding me to enjoy every moment of it all since our babies will grow up quicker than we imagine.

Mathilde will always hold a special place in our hearts, as she was such a key person in helping us become the parents we are today. Your investment in her will be worth every penny.
