Testimonial for Hunter Moore, CD, CLC, CBE
I feel so fortunate to have had Hunter with me and my husband John as we welcomed our daughter into the world. My mom had two home births with my younger siblings so I was familiar with midwives and doulas from a young age and knew that while I did want a hospital birth, I also wanted to have a doula. My husband wasn’t familiar with doulas but supported my desire to have one and now he can’t imagine our birth experience without Hunter! We both really appreciated the personalized support leading up to my due date. At our 37 week meeting Hunter went over all our questions and concerns and we put together a game plan based on my birth preferences which alleviated a lot of the pre labor and delivery jitters. Hunter was also incredibly supportive when I felt pressure from my OB to schedule an induction…she listened to all of my concerns and helped empower me to pause the induction and see if I went into labor on my own (I did!) When I actually went into labor Hunter stayed in touch as my labor progressed and met us at the hospital. She helped manage my pain with counter pressure and coached and encouraged me through 4 hours of exhausting pushing. I felt empowered and strong throughout the labor instead of afraid or unsure. Hunter also came to visit us at home to discuss the birth and how I was feeling. She provided me with great support and resources to help me navigate the first few weeks postpartum and continued to check up on me to make sure things were going well. I felt so supported before, during and after my daughter’s birth and I truly cannot imagine the experience without Hunter there. If you are considering hiring a birth doula it is absolutely worth it to have Hunter by your side as you welcome a new member of your family!
