Testimonial for Hannah Monroe, CD(DONA)
Hiring Hannah as my doula was the best decision I could have made. During our first meeting I could see how passionate she was about ensuring her clients' have a positive birth experience. From the beginning she provided me with several birth and postpartum resources and over time helped me develop a birth plan that was right for me.
She allowed me to labor at home as long as possible, and for that I am truly grateful. When my spouse called her she quickly came over and helped me through some of the most painful contractions. She made sure I was as comfortable as I could be in that state and encouraged me to eat and rest in between contractions. She helped me get into different positions to optimize baby's positioning and listened to me when I told her which positions felt too uncomfortable for me. She knew when it was time to go to the hospital and by the time we arrived I was ready to push. She helped support and coach me through the pushing phase, while also allowing my husband to be my main source of comfort. Between her and my partner I felt so much love and support.
She was so encouraging and was a cheerleader throughout the whole experience. All of this led to me having exactly the birth experience that I wanted. She gave me the courage and support to have an unmedicated birth, which was so empowering. Her compassion, knowledge, and humor were such a vital part of my experience. I can't recommend her enough!
