Testimonial for Heather Karlson (DONA)
Heather is exactly the type of person you want by your side pre-birth, during delivery, and postpartum. She goes beyond her duties to make sure you feel comfortable and cared for. When you spend time with Heather, you can sense that being a doula is more than just a job duty for her and that she puts her whole heart into caring for you and your baby.
I hired Heather when I decided to try for an unmediated, low intervention birth. And even though my baby was not in the right position up until the very end and I ended up going in for a scheduled c-section, Heather never left my side in providing professional guidance and resources on things I could try to help baby turn down, helping me mentally prepare for the surgery, coaching me through the recovery process, and taking care of me in the recovery room when I was in a daze coming off from the anesthesia.. but even beyond that, she was a wonderful friend and cheerleader in making sure I knew that whatever type of delivery I ended up having didn’t determine my qualifications as a mom.
Right around my due date, Heather had a family emergency and needed to travel in and out of the state. Despite everything that was going in her personal life, Heather still remained professional and composed. I don’t think I could’ve done what Heather did for me if I was in her shoes, and it showed how committed she was to providing the best care.
I already Heather that as soon as we find out we’re we having a second child that I’d call her right away to ask her to be our doula again! :)
