Testimonial for Marcie Hadley, CD(DONA),PCD(DONA),LCCE, CLC

Marcie was my doula. I was going to be a first time mom and wanted to have a natural hospital birth at Vanderbilt with the nurse midwives but felt like I needed someone to help advocate for what I wanted for myself and my baby. Marcie was there every step of the way and advocated for us. Her morals were very similar to ours and I knew when I met her she would be the perfect doula. Her sincerity and warmth made me feel so comfortable. She is very knowledgeable and if I needed help finding information on a topic she was always able to help. She was always sending me great information to help me leading up to the birth of my baby. Her birthing class is very personal and informative. Marcie is very experienced and has been a doula for over a decade and I knew if she was by my side that I would be okay during childbirth. When I was in labor I didn’t feel fear or worry about my health or my baby’s health because I knew I had the most competent doula and midwife I could possibly have. I will definitely hire her again for my future children. I knew my first time experience was such a great one due to Marcie being there for me. I knew I was in good hands and that if anything wasn’t quite right she would be able to alert my midwife. I know for a fact the level of comfort I had during labor helped me have a short productive labor and to have someone help me through my contractions so I stayed ahead of them helped me have a 6 hour labor instead of 24+ hours. I felt so cared for and safe when Marcie was with me. She is so special to me and I highly recommend her. I don’t think it gets any better than having Marcie Hadley as your doula.
