Testimonial for Heather Pound -DONA, Hypnobirthing, Photography
This was my first pregnancy and I am so thankful we found Heather to be our doula! From our first initial meeting she made us so comfortable with the whole process. She was able to provide guidance right from the get-go, but always reminded us that this was our journey and we make the ultimate decisions. We knew after our initial meeting that Heather would be a perfect fit for us!
During our prenatal visits it felt like having a friend in our home aiding us on our journey. She was able to walk us through all of the birth terms and some different scenarios that may arise. Heather is extremely knowledgable about the birth process, but is able to describe it in a way that is understandable for first time parents. She was able to show us different positions to help get my body ready for labor, and made sure my husband was comfortable with all of it as well so he could help in the weeks to come. As we neared the end of our pregnancy we had a slight complication and Heather still made herself readily available and shifted her last prenatal visit to meet our specific needs.
When labor officially started she made sure to stay in constant contact with us to know when to head to the hopsital. During labor Heather helped utilize different relaxation techniques, and labor positions to help baby be in the most optimal position for delivery. My labor progressed very quickly, but her calming and encouraging presence was just what I needed in the room to help relax and to deliver our baby. During our postnatal visit we were able to discuss the birth as a whole and how I felt the experience was. She also prepared us for the weeks to come in terms of my recovery. My husband and I both agreed that having Heather with us was such an important piece of our story and we are so grateful for everything she did for us along the way. We would absolutley recommend Heather to anyone looking for a doula, and hope to be able to use her again in the future!
