My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Chaumet as our doula for the birth of our first child and our experience was incredible. I live in an area with limited resources, so I didn't have many choices when it came to my providers or birth location. It was very important for me to have an advocate and ally that we trusted to be present at our birth, and that's where Chaumet came in. She was an amazing resource, teacher, and coach and was essential to the birth of our daughter. I gave birth in a hospital and ended up being induced at 41 weeks. After about 30 hours of labor, I successfully delivered a healthy baby girl! I truly attribute my birth story having the outcome that I wished for because of Chaumet, her calming presence, and her ability to empower me in the moments that I felt most defeated. She also offered so much knowledge in the way of position changes, mindset coaching, and so much more that changed my labor and delivery experience positively. I am confident that my birth would have had a different outcome had she not been present. She also enhanced my partners experience ten fold through labor and delivery by empowering him to be an amazing support and allowing him the space to take care of himself. Chaumet was an extra set of capable eyes and hands that made him feel like he could step away to eat a meal, go the bathroom, etc. during my long labor, which ended up being essential to both of us. In a time where support people might feel helpless (my partner's words), Chaumet gave helpful and actionable tasks that enhanced my comfort as well as gave my partner a purpose during this time. We would absolutely love to work with Chaumet again for our future births. I advocate strongly for doula birth support and believe that Chaumet's services are priceless, given that I attribute my empowering birth story and healthy baby girl to the support that we received. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Chaumet!
