Testimonial for Chaney Williams
We could not have asked for a better doula or friend. We initally sought doula care because of the isolation of the pandemic. We wanted assistance preparing for labor and postpartum and navigating the birth of our first child in an uncertain world. Chaney's calming, wise presence was a godsend. We thought we were pretty informed on birth before meeting with Chaney but the difference she made not only in our knowledge base but in our ability to trust birth was incredible. Any questions we faced along the way, Chaney was there not to judge or give answers but to provide a wealth or resources so that we could build on our own knowledge and come to trust our own judgement-- something that was vital in the delivery room. She also helped us to consider labor not only as a series of boxes to check off but as a unifying, spiritual experience. When it came time to deliver, Chaney was an expert at keeping the energy of the room conducive to labor. When we needed space to think, Chaney provided it. When we needed rest, pain relief, laughter, music, she was able to provide all of that without pulling focus from birth. Our beautiful, 9 pound 7 oz baby was born exactly the way we'd envisioned and we still talk to this day about how perfect and beautiful labor was. That is so much thanks to Chaney.
