Testimonial for Cherish Perez CD(DONA),CLE, CBE
We had our first child this past March and had interest in hiring a doula but were a little apprehensive about it. We interviewed several doulas, and found Cherish to be professional, honest, funny, and it was evident she was truly passionate about her work. We decided to give it a shot.
A month after my delivery, I can confidently say: hiring Cherish was one of the best decisions we made.
Before labor, Cherish was proactive with check ins and always available. She was well organized, punctual, and obviously took time to prepare for each visit. She spent a lot of time with us during her visits, never seemed in a rush, listened to us, was very knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about the labor process. She had excellent follow up after each visit with information and resources that were tailored to our questions and discussions that came up during her time with us.
Importantly, during my labor, her experience and expertise became very evident. She was calm, confident, adaptable, and extremely skillful in communicating with someone experiencing a stressful and intense life event. She pivoted right along with me as my birth plan changed to adapt to the situation as it developed in real time. She provided immeasurable support and comfort during my labor and never left my side. Physically, she helped with various positions and helped us make use of the resources available in the delivery room we would have otherwise not utilized or knew how to use.
After labor, Cherish continued to support me through my initial breastfeeding struggles with encouragement, practical advice and resources, and even cookies(!).
Cherish’s involvement and impact on our experience was immeasurable and hands down we would absolutely recommend her.
