Testimonial for Patrycja (Patty) Drozd CD(DONA)
My husband and I are thankful to have had Patty by our side for the birth of our first child. Her presence in the labor and delivery room set the tone for an amazing birth! We interviewed a few Doulas but knew right away that Patty was the perfect fit for us. Early on Patty shared several resources to support and educate us on our pregnancy journey. Patty was quick to respond to all of our questions with detailed answers based on her vast experience and knowledge. Going into my pregnancy I wanted a natural water birth. Patty shared valuable information on natural labor and delivery. However, at 38 weeks, I discovered I had hypertension which caused me to need an induction. Patty coached us through the induction process and gave us an abundance of support every step of the way. With Patty’s extensive background as a birth Doula, she made my labor and delivery outcome better than I could have imagined, despite my altered birth plan. Thanks to my husband and Patty, I was still able to labor in the shower and have as close to a natural birth as possible. Once active labor began, Patty supplied essential oils to help ease nausea and provide relaxation. Patty placed a comb in my hand during the pushing phase to help activate pressure points. She gave me words of encouragement during active labor and coached my husband in ways to best support my delivery. Patty stayed with us for two hours following the birth of our baby to mentor me on the best practices in order to successfully nurse my newborn. Thanks to Patty I was able to find the inner strength to have a positive labor and delivery and feel incredibly happy with the outcome of my baby’s birth!
