Testimonial for Sean Hoke & Kalyn Hulten
My birth experience was absolutely incredible all thanks to my amazing Doula, Sean Hoke. I ended up having to be induced at 42 weeks and was pretty fearful of the process/struggled with the fact I couldn’t labor at home before going into the hospital. Sean helped me overcome all of my fears surrounding the induction process and made me feel excited and confident in the plan to be induced by explaining what the labor may look like as well as answering all my questions. She was by my side from the very start of contractions until a few hours after our daughter was born. Having Sean by my side not only as my primary support person, but also to communicate with nurses and midwife so I could focus solely on birthing my daughter, was amazing. She helped me feel confident when labor seemed impossible to continue, giving me the courage and support to carry out my goal to have an epidural free L&D. There were times towards the end that I remember saying I couldn’t do it anymore, crying in pain and fear — she was right beside me to encourage, give me strength emotionally and empower me to keep going. Honestly, my husband and I both agree that it wouldn’t have been such a beautiful and incredible birth experience without Sean by our side. She went above and beyond anything we could have imagined, her communication with hospital staff was awesome, her knowledge, teamwork with birthing partner (my husband) and love/support for both momma and baby was amazing.
Also, a huge thank you to Kalyn, she was such an amazing support and source of knowledge during all our prenatal meetings leading up to our daughter's birth. Kalyn was always so supportive and even made sure to check in on my L&D while recovering from her own L&D with her son the day before I was induced. We love Sean & Kalyn so much!
