Testimonial for Carolyn Ericson
My partner and I had an excellent experience working with the District Doulas and they helped us ease into the process of becoming first-time parents with their series of workshops and availability for on-call questions. Carolyn met us at the hospital and she immediately knew how to make me more comfortable as I got ready for delivery - through massage, grabbing warm broth and a warm blanket as I shivered with the rush of hormones, and even brought peppermint oil and christmas lights to create good vibes in the room. She knew how to organize the delivery room to make us feel more at ease, was able instruct my partner on how to help me, and was an absolute saint as she communicated with the nurses and midwives team, who don't always explain things clearly, and translate and advocate for our best interests. As a first timer, I had the most ideal delivery experience that felt empowering and even magical as I felt completely in control of the process - and I attribute so much of that to what I learned through DD and having Carolyn there with us. We would absolutely recommend working with District Doulas to anyone who wants to feel empowered by the entire process of pregnancy, becoming a parent, and giving birth without fear.
