Testimonial for Heather Felder

I cannot recommend Heather enough as a birth doula! I was a first time mom planning a homebirth and Heather went above and beyond for me during my 70+ hour labor at 42 weeks to a beautiful healthy baby boy (9lbs, 12 oz). From the minute I called Heather, she showed up quickly at my home and didn't leave my side until baby arrived - her presence was so calming and reassuring as I had been in early labor with irregular contractions for 2 days and wasn't sure if it was the real deal. When I needed help getting into active labor she gently encouraged me into the positions and offered herbal tinctures that would get me closer to meeting my baby and they worked!! Once I moved into active labor, baby was here in no time. Heather provided hands on support, including a ton of counter pressure to help me through the toughest contractions and reassuring words of affirmation. Having an experienced doula like Heather really made the difference for me at my home birth as I was really exhausted and was begging to go to the hospital for the epidural by the time I entered active labor but Heather guided me to the exact positions that made labor easier and assisted baby to get in the right position. You'll be so glad you worked with Heather, she truly is a master doula! 

As a first time mom, I really had no idea what to expect for giving birth and Heather took the time to help me prepare for my birth, tune into what I wanted my experience to be like, and then she guided me through the birth process with wisdom, empathy, and expert skill. I will never forget my birth with Heather attending - it was truly the most magical experience of my life! I'll definitely hire her again for my next birth. 

Also, I highly recomend the placenta encapsulation - I'm 2.5 weeks post partum and I've had zero post partum anxiety or blues. Just feeling calm and peaceful as I bond with my sweet baby.
