Testimonial for The Birth Collective | doula, photo, education
Hiring this team of doulas was hands down the best decision we made in my birth journey. They supported us through my pregnancy journey, helping me track information from my midwife and eased my anxiety by cheering me on and being a voice of reason when we chose to move forward with natural induction. That being said, when my time finally came - Austin went above and beyond. Labor didn’t exactly go as planned and I ended up needing a hospital transfer from the birthing center we were at. Austin truly advocated for both me and my partner. When a rude/pushy nurse started yelling questions at me (while I was having a contraction), Austin calmly stepped in asked the nurse to give us a moment and then took the time to explain our options clearly and allowed us to have our space to discuss and make a decision together. She was such a peaceful presence and both me and my husband agree that we don’t know what we would have done without Austin. I highly recommend this doula team, every single one of these ladies are a dream! They were so helpful. I am forever grateful to Bree for encapsulating my placenta - I was very skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. It made such a difference in my postpartum recovery and turned a skeptic into an advocate. And lastly the pictures Austin took are absolutely amazing. A lot of what happened that day was a total blur, but these images tell a beautiful story or the hardest but most beautiful day of my life.
