Testimonial for Stephanie Sauer Pasternak, CD(DONA), CLC
Though I took the basic labor and delivery classes, while pregnant I was spending most of my time planning for life with baby rather than for those few days in the hospital. I hired a doula because I was looking for someone to help guide my partner and I through labor itself – someone with experience, who had seen it many times before. Stephanie is that knowledgeable someone. She is an incredibly calming presence who helped get me through some of the toughest moments in the hospital. She did not judge my preferences – we developed a plan to make it to a certain point before getting an epidural, and with her help I did it. Most unexpected was how helpful her in-home follow up visit was a few days after getting out of the hospital. By that point a new parent has so many questions, and her reassuring presence and knowledge was incredibly helpful. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking the care of a supportive, knowledgable doula – and have done so to a friend, who also utilized Stephanie and had a great experience.
