Testimonial for Alyson Mancini CD(DONA), BA Birth/Newborn Photographer
I cannot speak highly enough about Alyson Mancini. Alyson was our doula for the birth of both of our sons, most recently in May 2022. I am confident our labor and birth experiences would not have been nearly as wonderful if we had not had her by our side. Alyson is a calm, soothing, but strong presence during the birthing process. My first labor was extremely fast and if not for Alyson's guidance it's very likely we would have had an accidental home birth. My second labor was much slower and Alyson was there every step of the way providing assistance with changing positions, massage in between contractions, aromatherapy and lighting to keep the birth environment soothing, and deftly getting anything my husband or I could possibly need. She was an advocate for us and swiftly got medical assistance when my second child started descending and crowning without any nurses or doctors in the room yet. She also provided immense support to my husband to help him be as involved in the birth process as he could, which was very important to us. All of this support amounted to two beautiful, un-medicated, no intervention births that followed our birth vision to a tee. I'm certain we wouldn't have had such a wonderful experience without Alyson by our side and we will be forever grateful she came into our family's life.
