Working with Marcia was the best possible thing I could do for my birthing time - and the period before and after. Marcia is easy-going, funny, knowledgable, and very accessible. She took everything in stride and with so much grace it kept me and my partner calm throughout. When I worked with her, she was in the process of becoming certified with Hypnobabies and we were able to utilize her learnings and mine during my birthing time.
Marcia met with us twice before my guess date and once after the birth to talk through expectations, fears, hopes, postpartum expectations, tips, stretches, and more. She was always just a text or phone call away if I had questions and she stayed with us for the 24+ hours I had contractions. At home and in the birthing room, she provided a calm, quiet presence - or a friendly face to chat with - in addition to hands-on counter-pressure, words of encouragement, suggestions for positioning, advice, hypnosis cues, and more. I couldn't have asked for a better doula. My midwife was even raving about her to me and to her colleagues!
Nothing could have prepared me for the experience of childbirth, but having Marcia's guiding hand was the next best thing. I will be forever grateful to her.
