Testimonial for Martha Widing
It is impossible to describe what an incredible blessing Martha was for our family. I cannot recommend her highly enough as a post-partum doula. She is incredibly professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and nurturing. She goes above and beyond for the babies and families she is caring for and made my post-partum experience infinitely better than with my first child (where I had no professional support post-partum). As soon as Martha entered our home, she put us at ease, expertly caring for our newborn and instilling us with confidence and new knowledge on caring for a newborn. As a pediatrician, I was incredibly impressed by evidenced-based practice and that she partners with the family to make the post-partum experience one of bonding and healing.
Martha knew that one of my hopes was to breastfeed our son and she was an invaluable asset. I attribute our success to Martha’s help early in the process. My first son struggled with direct breastfeeding and weight gain, and I needed to pump often and supplement with pumped milk. Martha assured me that we would make sure we were on the right track, and she would direct me to a lactation consultant if needed. She helped me learn new positions to nurse and reassured me about his latch. My son thrived with the help of Martha and the time that she spent with us enabled me to rest, recharge, and recuperate knowing that my son was in her care. Martha is also non-judgmental; she meets parents at their level and partners with them to make the experience what they want. She supports all different families and their unique goals and comes with an arsenal of skills to do so with ease and expertise. Lastly, Martha is an absolute delight. She was a ray of sunshine in our home and if we are lucky enough to have another baby, she will be the first person we call!!
