It is with great pleasure that we write this testimonial for Natalie. We hired Natalie to be our birth doula for our first child (hospital birth). We highlight four key reasons why we recommend Natalie:
1. Leading up to the birth, she shared a plethora of useful information. This was in the form of a well organized set of documents. We sincerely appreciated how evidence-based her guidance was including all documents being well referenced with reliable sources. Perhaps even more important than sharing the documents, were her nudges to check out certain documents at relevant moments alongside her availability to discuss and explain all the details.
2. During the birth, Natalie was with us for the whole process and was constantly vigilant in doing everything she could to support us. A few highlights include her outstanding massages to help with earlier labor pains, her being present to check-in on Mom & Dad on whether we needed food, water, a nap, etc., and her being a positive presence in the room who asked good questions on our behalf and helped us vocalize our preferences. With sincerity - her presence transformed our experience for the better and we don't know how we would have done it without her!
3. She was available during the whole process. We texted her frequently and she was always responsive and happy to reply with resources or a chat of support.
4. She is overwhelmingly positive, kind, and made us feel comfortable. As quite conservative people, choosing to bring a person along on our birth journey was a careful decision. We were very happy to have Natalie be a part because through her multiple visits leading up to the birth, regular check-ins, and demeanor, we felt we formed a positive, trusting relationship with her. This made us feel very comfortable having her with us during the birth and had no trepidations about her guidance and being nearby for intimate and personal moments.
Thank you Natalie :)
