Testimonial for Amanda Echols

In regards to Kristen’s statement about pumping: there is no scientific evidence or studies that indicate pumping to induce labor for a healthy mother is harmful. However there are many positive benefits to pumping to induce labor to avoid a medical/pharmaceutical induction. Our collective thrives on evidence based research and only offers evidence as suggestions. Please see the two links below for evidence on pumping to induce labor.

I apologize that Kristen was dissatisfied with her doula services, I was not made aware, if I was, I would of done whatever measures I was capable of to make it right. Postpartum healing is important to me as a service provider and the way a mother processes her birth story is part of that healing. In fact, the text message I received while checking in on them during their hospital stay implies otherwise. “Hi thanks for checking in. We're finally getting discharged, with (baby’s name)! Thanks for all your help at the hospital, it was very calming to have you there during all my processes.” Along with 3 photos of Kristen and the newborn. Also within the next few weeks I reached out again in postpartum and received this text message in response, “ Hi! We're doing great, we love this little human so much! Thanks for checking in ?? “
I hope that future potential clients see there was nothing but effort, love and scientific evidence within this experience from my point of view.
