Testimonial for Alaska McFadden
When I became pregnant with my second child, my husband and I talked a lot about if hiring a doula was necessary this time around, after all, we had done it once and we had heard the second time is usually faster and smoother. In talking with my midwife team about it, they recommended I reach out to Alaska. Immediately upon talking to her during our consultation I knew I wanted to move forward with hiring her. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all things birth and postpartum, but she cares deeply for those she works with – I trusted her from the instant I spoke with her knowing she would do everything she could to help me work towards and acheive the birth experience I desired.
Alaska is also super organized and provides fantastic resources for every kind of topic you can imagine. On the day I went into labor, she was a confident, reassuring voice to both my husband and me and knew the ins and outs of how to best support each of us during labor while also bringing a wonderful humor and levity. Alaska's postpartum follow-up and care is just as wonderful – I knew I could reach out to her for anything and everything if needed, and was glad to debrief labor with her during her postpartum visit. In talking with my husband a few weeks after my son was born, we agreed completely that hiring Alaska was the right decision and can't believe we even debated it. She played an integral role on our birth team, and will most certainly be one of our first calls for our next baby!
